IMAGES
A-B

AND THE BAND PLAYED ON

This picture is taken from a scene in the HBO docudrama, described in Chapter 10, where hospital administrators are debating whether funding should be approved to test a vaccine for Hepatitis B to determine if it can be used to prevent AIDS.

BEVERLY HILLBILLES

This picture is from the feature film, described in Chapter 7. The scene is a freeway scene, where the Clampett family is just arriving in Southern California. The grey car in the foreground contains gang members who have just had a weapon confrontation with the Clampett vehicle and who are speeding away. My car is the blue one in the next lane with me behind the wheel and another extra as a passenger.

BEVERLY HILLS 90210

These pictures are from the TV Drama, described in Chapter 12. The scene is at the Walsh's 25th wedding anniversary party. I'm at the lower left of the picture.

The scene is at the beach. I'm at the lower left of the picture in the blue polo shirt throwing rocks into the ocean. Steve Sanders and Brandon Walsh are in the foreground.

The scene is at a faculty party at California State University where Brandon Walsh is entering with the Dean. I'm behind them reaching out to shake someone's hand.

The scene is at the Inglewood Forum at halftime of a Laker game. Steve Sanders is learning from the usher that he is to take a shot from half court for $10,000.00 as I walk past in front of them.

The scene is the end of a father-son golf match where Steve Sanders and his father, Rush, are congratulating each other after winning their match. Baseball player Barry Bonds, who played one of their opponents, is in the foreground, and I'm in the background picking up my clubs.

The scene is in a country club locker room in which Steve Sanders' father, Rush, is in the foreground where he and Steve have discussed the father son golf tournament as I walk by in the background.

The scene is at the Peach Pit. Dylan McKay is saying goodbye to Brandon Walsh before he (Dylan) leaves, with me sitting at the counter between them.

The scene is a setup scene for a country club golf course. I'm coming down the steps from the clubhouse toward the golf course carrying my clubs. Although it is hard to see anyone in this picture, I selected it because it was used not only for the episode for which it was filmed, but also for at least one other episode of Beverly Hills 90210 and at least one episode of Melrose Place.

The scene is at a university dormitory where a student has just attempted suicide. Paramedics are helping her down the stairs as I, as a school administrator, am at the top of the stairs talking with a police officer.

BODY OF EVIDENCE

This picture is from the feature film starring Willem Dafoe and Madonna, described in Chapter 8. It is a courtroom scene where Madonna's character is on trial for murder, and her defense attorney, played by Willem Dafoe, is talking to the judge, played by Lillian Lehman. The jury is in the background, and I'm in the back row, third from my left.
