13 more days til The Lost Child.
l was hoping to find out what part Michael has in
it-hope he got lots of scenes.
Michael/The Lost Child - Marlene, Nov/6/2000 05:16:00
I hope Michael has a few
more scenes than he did in
"Race Against Time" and
"Rough Riders" Of course the
scene in"Rough Riders"
was so great when he gave the
speech that it sort of
stays in the memory for
always.
Well, 13 more days and
we'll find out.
Hallmark - Marnie, Nov/6/2000 21:12:18
The Hallmark website has a new article about Michael's upcoming movie,
The Lost Child. It
has interesting quotes both from Michael and from Irene Bedard. You can
click on the
Movies and Entertainment section of the Hallmark site, then on the Lost
Child section. Here
is the entire article, though, to save you a search:
Native Americans Actors Welcome Roles Contemporary Characters a Welcome
Change for
Talented Cast.
Hallmark Hall of Fame's 206th production, "The Lost Child", features two
strong Native
American actors: Irene Bedard, who portrays Grace and Michael Greyeyes,
who plays her
husband, Eddie. Both Bedard and Greyeyes relished the opportunity to portray
contemporary Native Americans in the film.
"It's only recently that actors like us have been able to play contemporary
roles," Bedard
says. "The Lost Child" is one of those rarities. I consider myself an Anupack
and Cree --
but also a woman who lives in the year 2000! I honor my great traditions,
but I also have a
pocket computer. Putting those two worlds together is one of the themes
of this movie."
Greyeyes, who was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, and is from the Cree nation,agrees.
"This
film provides a great opportunity to de-stereotype 'the Indian,'" he says.
"As an actor,
when you're presented with opportunities like this, you really like to
take advantage of
them. Even with the wardrobe, we're trying to make it contemporary. We're
staying away
from a 'cowboy' look, or a 'rez' [reservation] look. Because when you think
about it, what
exactly is a 'rez look'?
"I remember a couple of years ago I went to a big reservation, and took
note specifically
of what people were wearing," he says. "The fact is, there was no difference
between what
kids there were wearing and what kids are wearing anywhere else. Some people
had long
hair; some had short hair. Some had blonde hair; some had dark hair. So
that kind of
identity through your appearance is a thing of the past."
The movie carries a theme with which anyone can identify. "It's a universal
story, in that
we're all on a quest for a sense of peace and a sense of self-identity,"
Bedard says. "Who
am I? What am I? Where do I come from?"
Greyeyes explains further: "This film questions identity, what part of
your identity is
inherent and what part is learned. What choices do you make as to how you're
going to live
your life? That to me is the most interesting part of the script. I relate
very much to
Rebecca, the main character in the story. She's somebody who wants to embrace
this
aspect of her past, of her culture, of her heritage, but at the same time
she has another
life with other demands and obligations. How do you balance those? I think
that's a crucial
question we face all the time--not just Indian people, but everybody."
The Lost Child premieres on CBS Sunday, November 19, 9-11 p.m. ET/PT."
Contemporary Rolls - Marlene, Nov/7/2000 08:49:34
Happy to learn Michael and Irene Beard will have
contemporary rolls as husband and wife(Grace and
Eddie) in "The Lost Child"
I think they were great acting together in "Crazy
Horse". They are both so very talented.
I think we'll all be anxious for Nov.19th.
Untitled - Sharon, Nov/9/2000 06:24:30
Nefer, the lost child,
is it a TV film.
What sort of role-
Author: Nefer , Nov/7/2000 14:24:20
would you like to see Michael in? l know after
Crazy Horse and SWCH l adore him as the Indian of
the past- what with riding the horse at top speed
while shooting the bow and arrow. Beautiful!! and to
hear him speak the languages. etc .
Anyway l would also like to see him as an action
star- a kickass cop like Walker. How about a
romantic adventure road comedy- PG-13.
Rolls for Michael - Marlene, Nov/8/2000 00:25:54
Michael would be great
in an action/hard hitting
roll. I can just imagine
what a great hit "Race
Against Time" would have
been with Eric Roberts and
Michael as buddies,bringing
about good over evil.
As for a romantic comedy--Michael,I
believe would do
a great job in any modern
day tale of romance and
adventure (I have a particular
one in mind)
The idea of Michael as
a policeman is good. How
about Michael as a boarder
patrol agent down Texas
way. I guess we just
better hope Michael will be
cast in lots of rolls
that he will enjoy working in.
SWCH
Author: Jasmine, Nov/8/2000 00:38:30
Are there any upcoming dates for SWCH to be aired on
TV?
Re: SWCH - Nefer, Nov/9/2000 03:03:00
Keep an eye out on Lifetime
tv- since they have it
l'm sure they will run
it again. Check tv guide
and tv guide channel-
also you can go to Lifetime
on net and check their
programming grid.
New Part

Homepage: MGFans
Hi all,
MG was recently in Saskatchewan, filming an episode
of the new PBS series "MythQuest". This
13-part series is being filmed in Canada and Europe.
It is tentatively scheduled to begin airing in the
fall of 2001. No word yet when MG's episode will air.
MG has this to say about it:
"It is a very cool show. The premise is about two teenagers,
a brother and his sister, who enter into a
place called the AlterWorld to find their father who
is trapped there. The kids travel through
time...to ancient Greece, to Nordic Viking time, to
the plains of North America (that's my episode).
The episode I worked on is called "Red Wolf's Daughter."
I filmed it in Regina, Saskatchewan again
with all my friends and colleagues from projects like
Skipped Parts and Big Bear. It was great!!! The
weather started to get a little cold, but otherwise
it was beautiful in Saskatchewan..."
Needless to say we'll all be waiting with bated breath
to see this show, huh?!!!

Crazy Horse editing
Author: Nefer
TNT did sloppy editing in Crazy Horse- did you notice
that one scene showed Michael on his horse
riding towards the camera with that thing on his face.
That should have come after-because he had not
been shot yet. Anyway 7 more days to The Lost Child!!
Re: CH - Nefer, Nov/12/2000 22:42:13
That was the scene all right.
Love that scene where he paints that lightening bolt.

name mentioned. Does he have a very big part?
Thanks!

Hi Tia,
Possibly ...the board
server has been playing up and some messages always seem to vanish when
that happens. However,
we did have to delete a few messages recently as per the board policy,
see "Ads & requests"
second message from the bottom of the board. Usually we will e-mail
everyone if their message
is in a thread that we have to delete but if you don't leave your e-mail
address we can't tell
you privately when this happens. Your message may have been entirely
blameless but when the
first message in a thread goes unfortunately the whole lot goes!!
Why are we twitchy about
people asking for tapes etc? ...because it's copyright material and
fingers have been burned
before. Swapping is fine ...lending is fine ...copying/buying is
wandering into infringement!
It's also why you'll see replies like "Contact me off-line" if
someone can help in this
area. This is a very public forum after all!
Hope you understand we
are looking after everyone's best interests(and covering our own butts!
*g*)

Thanks for letting me know Marnie. I thought it might be
something like that..had problems a couple of times recently
accessing the board. Aren't servers fun?
With respect to requests for tapes, etc., I've always said
that if CBS ever decided to release SWCH, they'd make a
fortune. For the life of me, I don't understand why they
won't.
Thanks

Hi Nefer,I recently bought

CH video amazon - Nefer, Nov/15/2000 21:38:38
l went there (amazon)a few days ago and also today,
and under the reviews it says in italics 'This text

of this title! l was told here in town at one of
the video stores that it was out of print. at my
regular video store she did order it, but weeks and
weeks go by. Also waiting for Big Bear.
Crazy Horse from Amazon.com - Tia, Nov/16/2000 01:00:18
Hi Nefer,
I just purchased a copy from Amazon.com. They seemed to
have problems obtaining a copy because the delivery was
delayed for awhile.
It is expensive, but worth every penny.
Tia
Amazon Purchase - Marlene, Nov/17/2000 05:54:51

I'm glad you're happy with expensive" Crazy Horse"
from Amazon. I agree it is worth every penny. I
hope you get to record "The Lost Child" Sunday the
19th. on Hallmark.
Marlene
Amazon Prices - Tia, Nov/17/2000 13:48:13
I couldn't be happier with Crazy Horse and have a new tape
all set to be used to tape Lost Child.
It's interesting when ordering from Amazon the different
prices of videos. Most older films are in the $14.00
range, but there are a few, like Crazy Horse, that are
still up around the $50.00 level. The problem for Canadian fans is that
they
have to pay the exchange rate. So for a film like Crazy
Horse listed at approximately $49.50, the exchange rate
pushes the cost up to the $70.00 level.

NYTimes
Review - Marnie, Nov/18/2000 02:12:06
Homepage: MGFans
Hi all,
here's a review of "The
Lost Child" that you may enjoy ...at least it seems quite encouraging!!
"With more dot-coms dropping
into the dustbin every day, it's nice to get an occasional reminder
that the Internet isn't
completely useless, and "The Lost Child," Sunday's movie on CBS,
provides one. As it has
for many others, the Internet lets Rebecca, the centerpiece of this tale,
find someone with whom
she had lost touch. The someone is herself: she grew up in a Jewish
household on the East
Coast but learns through a Web posting that she is a Navajo and has an
extended family in Arizona.
The premise might sound improbable except that "The Lost Child" is
inspired by a true story,
the autobiography "Looking for Lost Bird," written by Yvette
Melanson with Claire
Safran. In fact, from snippets of dialogue in the film we learn that stealing
and selling Indian children
was not uncommon just after World War II. But "The Lost Child" is
not a documentary, and
anyone wanting to know more about this tantalizing subject will have to
look elsewhere. So will
anyone craving one of those adoptee-reunion tales that end withthe
separated family members'
finally meeting and sharing a joyous hug. The reunion is just the
beginning of this story,
which tells what happens when Rebecca, nicely played by Mercedes
Ruehl, tries to return
to her Navajo roots and drag her skeptical family with her. Karen Arthur,
the director, and Sally
Beth Robinson, who wrote the teleplay (taking considerable latitude with
Ms. Melanson's book),try
to walk a precarious line between compelling story and sentimental
mush, with only partial
success. The dialogue frequently veers toward the maudlin with phrases
that ring as if they
were plucked from a "1,000 lines you can use in your screenplay" book.
("When my mother died,
I couldn't cry." "I don't know why I walk the path I walk; I only know
I have to.") Drippy music
adds to the problem. Yet there are intelligent decisions in evidence as
well. One was to make
Rebecca's Jewish upbringing a minor factor once she reaches Navajo land;
there are no silly scenes
of her trying to teach the Indians to braid a nice
hallah.
Another was to take an
oblique, understated approach to the well-known problems of American
Indian life,like alcoholism
and unemployment. It would have been easy to have a stereotypical
Indian drunk stagger
through a few frames. Instead there is a quick, telling scene between Jack
(Jamey Sheridan), Rebecca's
very white husband, and Eddie (Michael Greyeyes), her newfound
brother-in-law. Jack,
who was a bartender in his younger days, is embarrassed because he has
failed to recognize Eddie
even though they have already met once. "Sorry," Jack says, "I'm
lousy with faces; must
be getting old, I guess. I used to remember everybody's name,
everybody's face, everybody's
drink." His look as he stops himself short, realizing his gaffe,
and the glare that Mr.
Greyeyes gives him say all that needs to be said.
It's too bad that such
moments of honesty are matched by ones not as credible. Rebecca's
father (Ned Romero) and
aunt (Tantoo Cardinal) are pleasant to listen to at first, but after a
while it's like a two-hour
session with Yoda; they speak in nonstop aphorisms that surely
misrepresent the way
older American Indians actually communicate. Similarly, although the film
bravely dashes Rebecca's
idyllic initial impressions of Indian life Navajo, it turns out, have
their own racist and
sexist streaks in the end a cute horse makes everyone forget all their
troubles.
Still, for those with
a high tolerance for sentiment, "The Lost Child" has enough rewards to
be
worth the trip, not the
least of which is the chance to watch American Indian actors in
substantive roles. It's
an educational exercise as well, assuming that the depiction of Navajo
life
is somewhat accurate.
It's even humorous at times: "Mom," Rebecca's elder daughter (Julia
McIlvaine)complains after
being dragged out of bed to experience a sunrise,"we are only half
Navajo, and the white
half needs more sleep."
In fact, an enterprising
network executive could do worse than to jettison some of the junk on
the current prime-time
schedule and turn this into a series. When "The Lost Child" is over,
viewers are left thinking
it would be interesting to check in on Rebecca and family at some
future date to see how
their grand experiment is progressing."

Too Few Scenes - Jeri, Nov/20/2000 14:10:42
I agree Marnie, it was
disappointing. The shots that Michael appeared in went by
way too fast. Right from
the opening credits, as soon as I saw where Michael's
name appeared, I figured
we wouldn't be seeing all that much of him. He looked
great though when we
did get to see him and I especially enjoyed the brief
glimpses we got of him
dancing in full costume.
How did you feel about
the program itself? I thought it was well done and very
thought provoking.
..Jeri
Michael's scenes - Nefer, Nov/20/2000 17:21:58
l too was disappointed. l mean l was afraid if l
blinked an eye l'd miss him. So l was super focused.
He actually rode a horse-in the background. He sure
gave that guy the look at the door. But what was the
deal about the animals?? he giving out
a subliminal reference to his allergies?!!LOL
It was kinda sweet to see him doing the dishes.
Wish l had a good slo-motion- mine goes too slow.
l am so hoping for a tv series lead role for him.
Just think-- we could see Michael every week.
(Besides watching our SWCH)l'm so happy l have it.
Do we have a sign off slogan for Michael??
all l can think of is--"Michael Rules!!"Any better
ideas??

Thanks Marnie for the info. I sure intend to get in

makeup for his too few scenes.
I Agree! - Marlene, Nov/21/2000 01:28:29
I thought the story was great and the actors and
actresses did a fine job. I would have really liked
it if the camera had zoomed back and forth so we
could have seen more of Michael's dancing. But what
we did get to see was just great.
I love to watch Irene and Michael act together in
movies. I hope they get more roles together in the
future.

Christmas Ode - Marlene, Dec/6/2000 06:17:26
I enjoyed the Greyland
Fun Page so much. That's a
great picture of Michael.
And the little one of him
in the sleigh was super.
Thanks girls, it was
wonderful.

Busy Tarantula - Nellie, Dec/7/2000 03:29:34
Thanks also. Good work!
At first l thought it was
going to be about Tarantula
from True Women.
l did not realize that
story was history. l found
the book in a Goodwill
shop. Has pictures of all
the people-none of Tarantula
tho.

TARANTULA'S CHRISTMAS - Nana, Dec/7/2000 12:59:11
Girls----You simply outdid
yourselves on this
one.I must tell you that
I really enjoyed reading
it.I liked the way it
kept raising my expectations.
And then,at the end......I
see this tiny Michael
sitting in this tiny
bright red sleigh,reigning his
indian ponies through
the heavens.and I was
sure I heard him say........
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO MY FANS NITE NITE........Well,as
you
can tell.......I loved
it. Thanks and keep up the
good work you all do.

After looking foward to SWCH coming to lifetime, I just
found out that that cable channel, lifetime
movie, isn't even OFFERED here in southwest Florida.
I am so dissapointed, I am a new fan to M.
Greyeyes and would love to see it. Is there anything
I could do?
Thanks,
Emily
Til the End of Time
Author: Nellie, Dec/10/2000 19:26:59
l went to check over on Native Celebs New Films site
and according to it, Michael's film is going ahead,
after what they call 'a false start'. l hope it
will be a nice big role. Since l know nothing about
Georgia O'Keefe. There is a lot to be read about
her on net. l think she moved to New Mexico in her
later years.
Til the End of Time - Inti, Dec/13/2000 12:57:49
Hi, Nellie,
According to the Greyeyes
Official Site (Current page):
"NOTE: Michael had been
invited to play a supporting
role in a new film called
"Till the End of Time"
dealing with the life
of famed artist Georgia
O'Keeffe. The film was
to star Linda Fiorentino
and Ben Kingsley and
to begin filming this past
July 2000. Michael tells
us he was disappointed
that the film was halted
due to unspecified
production problems.
If further information
comes in, we will post
it here."
www.upcomingmovies.com
mentioned that the film may
possibly still be made,
but with a different
cast and crew.

Sorry - Nellie, Dec/14/2000 05:07:47
What a bummer! Here l thought l had found something-
(l forget how l even got onto that site.)l'm going
to watch Crazy Horse now.
SWCH going to be on lifetime again ..... - little_shell..., Dec/18/2000 19:09:52
on Feb.10th at 2 p.m.
ET ,
or at least that is what
somebody posted as a
message on the lifetime
movie message board. She
said Lifetime had e-mail
her that info, but she
didn't know if it was
going to be on the Lifetime
movie network or on Lifetime
t.v. I don't get the
movie station either.
I e-mailed Lifetime today
and asked them but I don't
if they will write me
back.
I'm counting down the
days! Get the vcr's ready!
SWCH IN FEB. - Marlene, Dec/20/2000 23:26:39
little shell,
I sure hope SWCH will be again on Feb 10th. I sure
did love that picture. Of course we all enjoyed the
great work Michael and Janine did in the film, but I
also enjoyed very much Dennis Weaver,Rodney Grant
and the guy, (Hank in Dr. Quinn,Medicine Woman)that
played Custer and all the fine cast of SWCH.
Thanks again for the info.
Marlene
SWCH.... - little_shell..., Dec/21/2000 01:42:16
I just looked at the MTV page and Marnie says it
is on the 10th of Feb., like I heard, but on the
Lifetime Movie channel...bummer, I don't get that.
Just may have to now! Are you sure Marnie:)? Oh well
I guess that means it won't also be on the regular
liftime channel that day...?
I agree Marlene, the whole cast is good.
I hope I don't miss out on seeing it AGAIN!
Take care

Skipped Parts *sob*
Author: Marnie , Dec/22/2000 16:20:54
Bad news about Skipped Part....seems Lions Gate Films
which bought Trimark Pictures have put it on
hold indefinitely again. I wonder if there's anything
we can do to encourage them to release it. We can
always write them I suppose. Oh well, bah humbug!
Marnie:(
SKIPPED PARTS ON HOLD - Marlene, Dec/22/2000 23:22:57
Dog Gone It,Marnie,that
sure is bad news. I know I'm
just one of many to be
so dissapointed.
Maybe we can write to
this Trimark Pictures and tell
them about how we are
all so anxious for Michael's
picture. There's always
power in numbers!
So here's hoping! Thanks
Marnie.
Marlene
Give it a try. - Marnie, Dec/23/2000 18:41:26
Hi Marlene,
It might be an idea to drop them a line ....after all it did seem to work
with Buffalo
Tracks!!LOL
I'll send off an e-mail saying I'd l-o-o-ove to see this picture, after
all I've been waiting
ever so impatiently for the past year!!!
Here's an address
feedback@trimarkpictures.com
for anyone who wants to send their requests, too!
Marnie :)
PS I suggest putting "Skipped Parts" in the subject box as I'm sure they
get all sorts of
mail.
PPS Sonja ...if it gets released in SA first I shall be really ticked off!;P
Also - Marnie, Dec/23/2000 18:54:51
It's been suggested we write snail mail too ...buy postcards, have friends
fill some
out... to show there is a market for the film. Hey, I know this has worked
for many TV
series so why not a film release. The address to send the mail to is
Lions Gate Films
561 Broadway
New York, NY
(212) 966-4670
You never know, it might be all the encouragement they need ...plus, it
can only help!!
Marnie
Snails Unite! - Nellie, Dec/24/2000 22:34:55
l've discovered that TPTB (The Powers That Be)
pay more attention to snail mail than e-mail.
Example: An actor was let go from a soap. Fans
started sending those letters and he was re-hired.
So let's all get to the mailbox, and get the film
back on it's way to us fans.
BTW, Marnie, do you have the Zipcode on that addy?
Nellie
Zip.... - Marnie, Dec/24/2000 23:11:04
Hi Nellie,
The one I came up with is NY 10012-3918. (Do US post-codes have that
many numbers?....I guess NY is pretty big so it needs more than any place
else!!LOL)
Marnie:)
Snail Mail/Shipped Parts - Marlene, Dec/25/2000 04:42:45
My request letter will soon be in the mail. Thanks
for the zip code.
COME ON EVERYBODY LETS GET THOSE LETTERS ON THE
WAY!
Marlene
Re: Zip - Nellie, Dec/25/2000 16:59:46
Thanx.
Yes that is the normal number although l rarely use
the last 4. l live in not a very large town and
l also have the extra 4. It's an all over thing.
Buffalo Tracks
Author: Marnie , Dec/23/2000 18:22:51
Hi all,
Just had to let you all know what Evan Adams said about
MG in reference to his appearance next
week.....
"Guests next week include the incredibly sexy Michael
Greyeyes...I say incredibly sexy because we
got so many e-mails saying 'can we have this babe on?'..."
So, thanks to all who sent e-mail ...and SEE...they
do take notice!!*g*
Marnie :)
PS Own up ....who was it called MG a 'babe'!!!!? :)
MG on Buffalo Tracks (12/29) - Jeri, Dec/29/2000 20:14:33
Hi Marnie,
I don't know what happened,
but there was no segment with Michael
on the 2:00 p.m. airing
today of Buffalo Tracks, nor did the host,
Evan mention Michael
being on next week. I'm wondering if the
8:00 p.m. boardcast of
the show tonight will be the same as the
one at 2:00? I'll watch
again at 8:00 and keep my fingers crossed.
..Jeri
repeat - Marnie, Dec/29/2000 23:04:38
Hi Jeri,
I know ...it was a darned repeat!!! I don't know whether someone goofed
up and they stuck
in the wrong tape or whether they had some other problem. Fingers crossed
that they show
it tonight ...and if not I guess we'll just have to watch every week till
he DOES show up
(perhaps it's all a ratings ploy!!heheh)
Marnie :)
**SNIF** Same Show - Jeri, Dec/30/2000 01:54:24
I was afraid of that. The same show that aired at 2:00 was
shown again at 8:00 p.m. I guess we'll just have to keep watching
each Friday and hope that somewhere along the line, they show the
interview with Michael. Just out of curiosity, what did you think
of the dancer, Gerry Longboat? Kinda cute...strange dance though!
..Jeri
Longboat adrift? - Marnie, Dec/31/2000 03:43:35
Hi Jeri,
I also thought he was very cute ...certainly fit, and a fine dancer ...however
I
spent most of the time worrying that his ....um...sheet was going to come
adrift.
(I'm not sure if I was disappointed or relieved that nothing untoward happened,
teehee!)
As for BT last time they showed repeats they ran about four in a row ...I
don't
think I can hold out that long!!
Marnie:(
Sent Email - Jeri, Jan/1/2001 15:28:47
Hi Marnie,
LOL..yes, that was quite the costume! With regard to Buffalo
Tracks, I sent them an email asking when Michael's interview
will be aired. If I get a response, I'll post it here.

Glad everyone likes the

have to pan and scan

Perhaps I'll make a nice
banner instead ...or occasionally post different little pics? Wait

All of us have admired the beautiful tribute painting
Marnie did - the "He Who Dreams" painting on her mg_fans
website. Seems someone has "lifted" it without her
permission and put it up on a website where it can
be
downloaded as a screensaver. I urge you to post on
that
website's guestbook, saying that it is wrong to use
copyrighted material without permission and asking
them
to remove it. At the very least, they owe her an apology.
Please show your support for our friend Marnie.
Here's the link to get there:
>click here for the "He Who Dreams" pic

Webshots submits! - Marnie, Jan/13/2001 06:29:48
Thanks for the help everyone.
I've heard from Webshots and they are going to remove the
"Tribute" from their
pages. Thanks to all who signed the book and let them know what they
thought. The worst thing
was if I hadn't done anything about it they could claim copyright title
to it and do what the
heck they wanted with it.
So thanks again, hey,
we won one!!

On Upcoming Films site, it lists
"Skipped Parts" to be out in the spring of this year.
No date tho'
Also found a programme from the Feld Ballet
"Umbrellas in Java", in which Michael appeared.
parts ...to be skipped? - Marnie, Jan/14/2001 04:47:59
Hi Nellie,
Unfortunately the Upcoming
Films site has been saying that for the last good while...and hasn't
up-dated it's info since
the last time "Skipped Parts" release was moved back. Guess it's up to
us to have it released!!
LOL
Marnie:)
Phooey!! - Nellie, Jan/14/2001 05:32:56
and that's all l have to say about Skipping!!
l finally got into vote, at least that's been
worthwhile. Found a programme from the Feld Ballet
with Michael's name on it.
Let's Try Again! - Marlene, Jan/14/2001 06:30:45
Maybe if we all go back to square one,write another
letter to Lions Gate and get in on the website to
place requests. If everyone tried again------MAYBE!!
We can just hope!

Hi all, I hear from the Buffalo Tracks forum that MG's
episode will be shown now on May 26th.
Unfortunately they also seem to think it was already
shown on the 30th of December!!!!! Hey, I
watched the darn thing three times (twice on the 29th
and once e-a--a-rly on the 30th) ...and it was
the same repeat all three times! (Unless they changed
the tape after I switched off!!LOL) I have told
them that they actually showed a repeat.. Looks like
someone was just slapping the tape in the machine
and didn't realize it was the wrong one! Sigh,
Marnie:(
more info - Marnie, Jan/19/2001 14:42:41
Heard from someone at
AV who is going to check with the APTN scheduling manager. So with any
luck MG will be on sooner
rather than later.
Also more good news ....For
the folks in the States the Aboriginal Voices website is going to
rev-up some clips of
the shows for them on site at aboriginalvoices.com. So,everyone will be
able
to get a taste of BT
soon, ....in SA too. Sonja!! LOL They should be streaming jump-fm 106.5...the

i just wanted to say that i'm related to Micheal Greyeyes
through my

Nations
I think it is cool, that our people are starting to
get
noticed as human beings.
Well Thank you
and good luck and best wishes to u Micheal.
Related to Michael! - Marlene, Jan/22/2001 23:32:11
That's great that you
are related to Michael,Trey.
You must be very proud.
Michael is such a fine
person and he has so
much talent. I hope he might
get a series or another
staring role like in "Crazy
Horse" As to the people
getting noticed as human
beings----yes it is about
time. Hope Michael gets
a lot more modern day
roles. I just enjoy it so much
when Michael and Adam
Beach work together.

So l read a few months ago Sherman wanted the original

have a much bigger part than what he had in
"Smoke Signals"
l am wondering if Michael is there.

Hmmmmm....not sure if I can help, bit I did have a similar problem after
we had a disk
crash and had to reload my computer here at home.
Egroups, and anything I'd had to 'register' for, showed I was NOT registered,
but when I
tried to re-register, the site told me I was ALREADY registered, yet I
couldn't get in! I
eventually sent emails to the site-owners asking for help, and it got sorted
out.
Now the site owners at the voting booth are at freevote.com so got to the
homepage and
find some contact email addy for tech probs, and email them with your difficulty.
It often
takes a few days for them to get back to you, so just be patient.......BUT....do
get it sorted
out 'cos MG needs your votes!! *smile*
Good luck!!
PS: Pls note, Annie of Native Celebs does not own the Freevote site and
cannot help you
with tech difficulties there. So don't email her direct.
Read what extra wrote about being in Skipped
Author: Nellie, Jan/29/2001 03:43:32
In case someone hasn't read it
http://www.thoughtline.com/renfro/skipped.html
she mentions Michael in the 9th paragraph.
Thanks Nellie! - Jeri, Jan/30/2001 16:56:22
Thanks for pointing us
to the article. I know only too well, what it's
like for an extra in
a movie or TV. I spent 2 very boring days watching my
daughter and some friends
as extras in a TV show some years back. The process is very
long and drawn out and
scenes are shot numerous times. It is interesting though, but I
was surprised that the
author of the article said that the extras were volunteers.
My daughter and her friends
were paid for their time. I think it was something
like $50 a day, but for
15 yr olds, that's not bad. I also have an Aunt who is
a professional extra
(strange huh) who's been in quite a few movies filmed here
in Toronto, but she says
9 times out of 10, she ends up on the cutting room
floor..LOL!
As for the brief mention
of Michael...I can't imagine anything more uncomfortable
