The episodes of "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman" ("Moment

June 15 and 16. "True Women" is to be shown on Sunday
and Wednesday, June 18th and 21st on CBS.
"Smoke Signals" is airing on Monday and "The Minion"
is airing on Thursday, June 22nd.
Looks like the television networks have finally seen
sense and are trying to schedule MG at least once
a day!! Can't wait till till he gets his own channel

DSTV has been airing SWCH of a regular basis lately
on the TMMC channel, so checkyour DSTV
guides for details!! *grin* it's almost like MTV (Michael
TV) has come to South Africa!!!
Here's a funny 'Michael' anecdote from the Krohn household.....hubby
was sitting in front of the TV
trying to catch what he could of the PGA golf, and
was channel-hopping during the adverts, when all of
a sudden I heard him yell "Come quickly Sonja!! There's
a Native American guy on the TV!!" LOL! (he
knows my interests)! I rushed into the TV room, and
there was Michael in SWCH! I said,
"Dear....*Thinking to
myself.... are ALL men this dim-witted??!*......THAT'S
Michael Greyeyes!! The guy I've been going on
about! We've only got like FOUR videos of his here
in the house!" Oh boy!!! I'll be REALLY miffed if
he fails to recognise Michael next time he's on the
screen!! (I'll make a fan of that husband of mine if
it's the LAST thing I do!! LOL!)

"Grey Owl" will be televised
starting July 1st on "The Michael Netw ..."..I mean "The Movie

While MTV is alive and well and living in SA, seems 'True Woman's latest
airing on TV
over in the good ol' U.S. of A. has caused quite a stir of it's own! Get
on any Native Celebs
list folks, and it is abuzz with Michael's performance as Tarantula! Unless
the poster
happens to be male, in which case he is lamenting Irene Bedard's untimely
death! (Gotta
admit to feeling pretty miserable about that too!) Oops, SWCH is about
to start
again.....bye for now!!

Stolen Women
Author: Ruth_Brown , Jul/23/2000 07:34:13
Hi everyone good morning.As usual it is raining in
sunny old U.K.
I just wondered did anybody else notice when Tokalah
got shot there did'nt seem to be any blood.I'm not
complaining{as if I would) Ijust wondered that's all
.
I really love this site.I wish I had found it a lot
sooner.
Everybody who leaves messages on this board seems so
friendly.
bye for now

No blood please, we're British! - Sonja, Jul/23/2000 15:17:19
Homepage: Voting
Booth!!!
Hi Ruth! Sorry, couldn't
resist the title of this message! *grin*
Yes, we are usually very
nice here...except when we make up message titles in the vein I just did!!
As to Tokala's disappointing
dissability to 'bleed' when he was shot, I guess the answer lies in
the fact that SWCH is
a mushy 'romance' film, so the director decided to downplay the 'gore'.
Whatever the reason....I
hardly noticed the lack of blood, as long as Michael kept LOOKING as
good as he did!!! *grin*
Hope you keep popping
in Ruth! We sometimes have a Mad Hatters tea party going here, and if
you lucky you may even
get offered a cucumber sandwich and some Earl Grey(eyes) tea!
Untitled - Ruth Brown..., Jul/23/2000 19:18:53
Hi Sonja
I loved the title of your message. I couldn't think of
one half as good so I'm not even gonna try. I will certainly
keep popping in. Being English I just love cucumber sandwiches. I
hope you didnt think I was being unkind about SWCH.
I really love that film. I have it on video and watch it often.
Dont get excited we cant buy it in England either.
The first time I saw it I only caught the last 20 minutes
but I have never seen anything as beautiful as Michael
before and he can certainly act too!!!!
Anyway the next time it was on I made sure the video was set up.
Any way thats enough of my rambling for now.
take care

Homepage: True
Women
Sheesh, ....he obviously made a pressure poultice out of ...um....swamp
grass and horse
manure. Yes, that'll stop bleeding every time!! That or the director was
shockingly
over budget and couldn't get them to run to any more 'blood-bags'. (The
makeup lady
surely kept a grasp on her expensive Christian Dior lipstick set, too!)
No? oh well,
just a suggestion! *g* I guess Sonja's explanation makes the most sense
....but you'll
never get me to admit it!
Marnie
PS My problem with SWCH is WHY didn't he just kidnap her when he first
spotted
her? Then he wouldn't have had all that trouble!! sigh!
RE Pats,Ex-Pats and Colonials - Ruth..., Jul/24/2000 14:01:42
I guess if he had kidnapped her when he first saw her the
the film would not have been very long.I dont think any of us
would have been very happy with that.I agree that Sonja's
explanation is probably the right one but I think yours
is very interesting.

Hi Tammy,
in answer to your question about Stolen Women.I live in
England and you cant get the video here.I believe it is
the same in the states.Thw best thing seems to be to wait until
it is shown again on t.v and video it yourself.It is a very good
movie and Michael is wonderful in it.He is agreat actor
and looks great too!!!!!
Good luck

Hi Ruth, I know the server
there has been having a lot of problems sending out their

Some people have had to try up to six times before it worked. I have heard
that if you go in and
delete your voter ID ...then re-apply then that often works ...and whatever
glitch has occurred is
bypassed and an activation/confirmation notice is sent. Give it a shot
anyway. We need all the

In fact, my entire body
turned to ooze as I slid off the computer chair, only coming to my senses
as my chin came into
painful contact with my keyboard! I propose that Marnie's latest

Hi Gigi, If you made the video bigger ...sadly all you'd get would be blobby

could make it larger ...as the original images are huge ....but it would
take something like
...ooh...two weeks straight, to download the darn thing ...and whilst I
can think of no better
way to spend ones time (waiting for MG to pucker up) I could not, in all
good conscience,
let half the world grind to a halt while the female population of the planet
commandeered
the computers! Then again ...it might be worth it !!LOL
Marnie *eg*
PS OK, I admit it, I can't exactly figure out how to leave the image big
and compress the

getting to see that one!
GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time
Author: Sonja , Aug/3/2000 05:24:59
Homepage: Voting
Booth!!!
For those of you who are struggling with the GMT concept:
It is the '0' degree longitudinal line that passes through
the UK (United Kingdom) at Greenwich
(pronounced 'Grenitch' please!), whereby we tell time.
NOT to be confused with the date line which
stretches on a zig-zag path down the middle of the
Pacific Ocean somewhere!
Marnie uses GMT, rather than her own local time when
giving us times for 'chat', so that it is easier
for those of us on 'foreign' soil to work out when
we should log on. If we know the GMT, we can easily
work out what time it would be in our neck of the woods
- just a matter of counting hours forward or
backwards!
However, if you are still confused.....the easiest is
to go to the URL Marnie gave in an earlier
message.....OK, I'll givie it again : www.worldtimeserver.com
Good luck all, and see you Friday night (which will
be early Saturday morning for moi!!)
I dunno about that..... - Marnie, Aug/3/2000 05:56:53

MG Fans
Hate to disagree with
you Sonja but GMT in fact stands for, (what else?) GREYLAND Mean
Time!! (At least on this
board! heehee!) No, no, I lie just to befuddle you all, Sonja is correct.
Greenwich, England is
where East meets West at the Greenwich Meridian (0° Longitude), World
Time is set from there...there
are 24 time zones and each is measured relative to Greenwich!
...However, I shall hereafter
refer to it as Greyland Mean Time as this fits in much more nicely
with our board!!*g*

done that and that they
no longer have it. l
hope to see it somewhere.
l want to see Michael

bummed me out when he

thought it would be a

for Gigi re. Tokalah - Inti, Aug/20/2000 00:58:30
Howdy Gigi, Sometime shortly
after the airing of SWCH U
read someplace that the
word Tokalah means fox (no pun
intended about our hero!!)
Specifically, it refers to a
kit-fox which has very
large ears and a black-tipped tail.
It is found in the Southwest
U.S. and in Mexico. Then again,
you probably see them
all the time roundabout your neck of the
woods.
See, we all learned some
(probably totally useless) trivia! Not
that I have ever seen
one of these critters first-hand, mind you. About
the most wildlife I see
around these parts are woodchucks,
squirrels, the occasional
bunny rabbit, and a colony of very
noisy geese who honk
at the most inconvenient times! There is one
lonely old blue heron
who hangs out near the pond. Nearly stepped
on a harmless little
old grass snake in the park the other day and just
about freaked out. But
no foxes or even foxy-looking guys, sad to report.

Thanks for the info. I think I might have actually
seen some of these critters at our zoo here in AZ. I
haven't seen any out in the wilds though...lots of
coyotes.

Good grief! I was just reading some of the current info

Re: video SWCH question

Hi Nefer,
Actually they say they
don't have all the distribution rights to market it in North America. The
SA copy covers you saw
were from an ex rental copy (thankyou, Sonja!)...and the ones available
in the UK are the same....so
far. We live in hope and every now and then jog CBS's memory with
the petition and ask
them to revisit the idea of getting the necessary copyrights. Don't hold
your
breath, though! *g*

Well hello!
My name is Christina and I'm from Toronto, Canada.
I just got the internet today and I was looking
around when I found this site. I am amazed.
I thought I was the only person who ever saw and
fell in love with Stolen Women Captured Hearts (or
SWCH as you all seem to call it) but it seems that
I am not alone. I have been reading some of the
other messages and to the girl with the "Kissing
Booth" idea, I think its wonderful. Well I just
thought I'd say hi, feel free to e-mail me or leave
messages here. All this talk about SWCH has made me
want to go watch it so I'm off. Bye!

Hi Christina, Glad you
dropped by. As you live in Canada you might be interested to know that
the series "Harsh Realm"
will start running on the Space channel on October 7th. Michael was in
episode seven, entitled
"Cincinatti".
Thought you might want
to catch it if you haven't seen it already (the series was cancelled
before that episode aired
but it has been shown in the States!). Something to look forward to
and keep us warm as winter
sets in and Canada truly becomes "The Frozen North!" *g*

Article
Hi all,
I came across this Feature Article on "Skipped Parts".
It has a few thoughts on the more
controversial aspects of the story line, including
the Director's take on it,"I think one of the things
Tim (Sandlin)and I really agreed on is that the movie
was going to be just as brave as his novel, just as
honest about different sexual attitudes and their effect
on people."
As we all know Michael plays the part of Hank ElkRunner
who Lydia (Jennifer Jason Leigh) has ..." a
scandalous affair with ..."
Scandalous!!!! Oh Goodeee!

Hi Nana,
Well Michael has certainly captured one heck of a lot
of women's hearts LOL! Unfortunately, I've found
out that the digital cable I was going to have
installed does NOT carry Lifetime. So, *sniff*, I
will be unable to view the movie. Drats!! I'll
have to hope that someday it'll be run on one of the
Canadian channels.
Jeri - Nanah, Sep/29/2000 16:41:45
Have you ever seen SWCH???
nana
Nana - Jeri, Sep/29/2000 20:49:06
I saw part of the movie back when it was first
aired. It certainly made an impression and I wanted
to see the entire movie, but it's never (to my
knowledge) been aired again on a Canadian TV
channel. For those of us north of the border, it's
very frustrating to know when shows we really want
to see are being aired, but because we don't get the
U.S. channels, we are unable to see them. When I
discovered that the digital cable I had ordered didn't
carry Odessy or Lifetime, I cancelled the service.

When l walked to school this kid used to hide between

Strangely enough, SWCH is for sale at the Amazon.com

sent to various parts of Europe, there is a fee schedule
for postage
etc. on the associated pages. They will send it to
North America too,
but isn't suitable for most VCR's here (unless you
have one that reads
all formats).

Yes he is, and very talented!
And also - Nefer, Oct/18/2000 21:26:37
He's a fine person, l gather that by the way he

l saw SWCH Mon. and oh my do l love that film.
Email From Lifetime
Author: Nefer , Oct/18/2000 23:06:55
l have to share. l just received this.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed watching
"Stolen Women, Captured Hearts" and the big hunk
Michael Greyeyes, on "Lifetime." We are very
proud to offer such excellence in programming and
love to hear from valued viewers.
l had sent them a couple of emails a while back re:
running SWCH . And l thanked them for
showing it Monday evening.
SWCH - Marlene, Oct/19/2000 04:29:52
I thanked them also. I
recorded SWCH with the
commercials. I didn't
want to take the chance of
anything going wrong
with this gem! It's a wonderful
example of our Michael's
talent. Also Janine Turner
and the other actress
and the young Indian boy were
just grand.
Michael and Janine's
final scene was so excellent!
When the viewer feels
the emotion it means you've
got two fine actors who
know what they're doing.
Regards, Marlene
Re: SWCH - Nefer, Oct/19/2000 17:45:02
l so agree with you. l was totally swept away.
Being l was taping had to have remote in my hand
all the time to weed out commercials but l had
backup taping on my bedroom VCR w. commercials
just in case. You know l went to buy a more
expensive tape-- l thought l would check it out
to insure. Sure enough it was a bad one. So l
taped on a tried and true one l already had used.
l am so glad l checked. Like Murphy's Law eh? l
made sure old Murphy did't get me. So with
The Lost Child we'll be taping again. Keep in mind
- check your tape if it's new.
Nefer

Well l had a dream yesterday afternoon, sleeping on
the living room couch and (last thing l saw before
falling asleep was that great picture of Michael l
have on the wall) l had had a cup of tea with
an oatmeal raisin cookie! The tv was on.
So, in my dream, Michael's wife was making oatmeal
cookies and they got into
a food fight! He was laughing and having a great
time.
l love food fights. Used to have them quite
a bit.
Nefer
What Cookies! - Marlene, Oct/21/2000 20:00:41
Nefer,
That was some dream!
You got me wondering if Nancy
makes oatmeal raisen
cookies. I wish she'd make
chocolate chip and invite
us over.
Was there anything else
in the tea? Let me know if
you have anymore cool
dreams OK?
Best Wishes,

Re: Cookies - Nefer, Oct/22/2000 17:24:18
Marlene,
l forgot to add 'raisin' in my note.
They where fat free-not too good. l used to bake
some great oatmeal raisin cookies. but since l
divorced and went to work-- no time. Forgot how.
The tea was Earl Grey. Oh yes if l have another

Stolen Women, Captured Hearts
Author: Peggy , Oct/21/2000 20:23:44
Hi - I am new here - but I was wondering if someone
could assist me. I was wondering about the story
behind Anna and Tokalah. Was this totally fictional,
or was some of the movie true? I was doing
research into Anna Morgan, but came up empty handed
- could someone help me?
Thanks, Peggy
SWCH - Marlene, Oct/22/2000 08:18:00
Peggy,
According to history,there
was a demand made by
Colonel George A.Custer
that the Cheyenne return
any white women held
by them. No consideration was
given as to rather any
of the women might not want
to return to the white
world. Three Cheyenne chiefs
were held under the threat
of being hanged if they
were not returned.
I believe you'll find
it written in true history
that the Cheyenne returned
the white women held by
that particular tribe
but Custer hanged the chiefs
anyway.
I think Anna was a fictional
character. If there was
a true life Tokalah among
the Lakota, I believe you
could reserch it under
the histories of the
different nations of
the Sioux.
But in the meantime,don't
you think Tokalah and Anna
(Michael Greyeyes and
Janine Turner) are very dear
to us?
Hope I helped a little!
Good luck with the reserch,
Marlene
SWCH - Peggy, Oct/23/2000 14:28:31
Thanks, I will do some research. Yes, if this was
truly fictional - that's okay - I will still dream
of Tokalah and Anna...WOW

Stolen Women Captured Hearts ...the 'true' story?
We've had many MG Fans
list members wonder how accurate SWCH is ...after all, it is supposed
to be based on a true
story ...however the information we've found leads us to believe that it's
very loosely based indeed!
Here is some of what we've found, cobbled together from old posts.
It's also to be found
in the MG fans List shared Files.
Marnie's info....
"Well, there I was the
other day doing a spot of research for a book cover in an ancient military
base library when I came
across a musty old tome called "The Indian Wars of the Plains" or
something like that ...it's
a little hard to read, the original cover being long gone and someone has
hand written a replacement!
I was intrigued by it ...the last time it had been taken out was in
1958!!!!! Anyhow, there
I was ploughing through it (actually I was just reading a bit here and
there as the language
is a bit arcane in places ....and definitely not PC ...though it is quite
a
sympathetic book as it
quotes from
both sides ...old logs
and diaries and also "Indians" that were interviewed.) Anyhow, I'm
rambling on a bit ....but
suddenly a couple of names leapt out at me ....a Miss White and a Mrs.
Morgan....our heroines
from SWCH. Yes,
it actually has a bit
about their kidnap ...and eventual "rescue" by Custer! According to the
book, it was after the
Washita when, "Two white girls, a Miss White, and a Mrs. Morgan, a
bride of a month, had
been captured by the Indians
in raids up the Solomon
and Republican valleys the previous summer. Their capture aroused great
indignation in Kansas.
Governor Crawford obtained permission from the war department to
organize the 19th Kansas
Cavalry." (Here it relates
some of the rather nasty things that were purported to have happened
to Miss White and Mrs.Morgan
....I won't go into it too much here ...but suffice to say it's not as
nice as the film, the
girls being severely abused on the journey back to the encampment when
they became the property
of a specific captor.) Anyway, Custer went off searching but got
side-tracked by finding
the remains of Major Elliot who'd been missing since the Washita ....and
so as winter was coming
on, the fighting was over for the year. In the spring they set out again.
Guided by a captive Cheyenne
woman, Custer located the village where the two girls were held.
"It would have been easy
to ride down and give the Indians a taste of lead but that would have
ensured the demise of
the prisoners."
Diplomacy took the place
of force . "Custer flattered, promised and threatened for tedious
days."
Then he took the step
of seizing three Cheyenne warriors as hostages for the safety of the girls.
To make it a bit more
palatable he sent presents and promised the release of the warriors on
the
surrender of the captives.
The following day the girls were sent to him, both mounted on a single
pony. No more is mentioned
of this incident except a footnote that Miss White lived to an old
age. She afterward married
and reared a family ....but sadly Mrs. Morgan died a few years
after her release from
captivity.
Well, I dunno about you
....but I prefer the CBS version!!!
Marnie
PS I quoted and paraphrased
and changed the wording a bit but that's pretty much what it says
in the book ..."
Subsequently I discovered
another book ....
"I was back at the military
library ...and would you believe I found another book that mentioned
Miss White and Mrs Morgan.
This one had a much lengthier description ....but, man, it was even
harder to read and not
nearly as balanced as the other one. The book is made up of various
writings from "frontiersmen"
and Cavalry officers ...so you can imagine how biased it is. Plus, the
writing is so florid
and grandiose (not to mention self-serving) it rather jangles the nerves.
However, I did find the
description really interesting ...especially that Mrs. Morgan's brother,
Mr Brewster, did accompany
the cavalry to help find her but he was only about 22 ...Mrs.
Morgan being 19 ...and
that the two girls didn't know each other prior to their capture. Mrs.
Morgan's husband was
badly injured and left crippled in the original raid which is why he didn't
accompany the search
and the two girls did, in fact, briefly manage to escape but were chased
and caught ("I'll run
you till you drop" Sonja?) and then split up. This
part was very long and
encompassed a lot more than the actual search for the two and it was
written in the first
person and why did the writer keep receiving orders addressed to "General"
I kept asking myself?
You got it, this section was written by Custer!! Took me a while to figure
it out as his name wasn't
mentioned as author. I had heard he was a bit of a self promoter ...and
judging from this book
he certainly was!"
Later I mentioned that
in one passage I read there was someone who struck me as being similar
to "Tokalah" this generated
some interest so I then quoted the relevant section.....
"The passage I thought
was most apropos was when he was actually deciding to hold some of the
"Chief's "hostage .....for
the return of Miss White and Mrs. Morgan and other guarantees. It's
long ..and there is a
point when Custer is worried he's going to throw up whilst smoking the
"pipe" ...but anyway,
I could just picture one of them as "Tokalah" .....
Custer writes....
"...Even at this date
I recall no more exciting experience with Indians than the occasion I now
write. Near me stood
a tall, gray haired chief, who, while entreating his people to be discreet,
kept his cocked revolver
ready in his hand for use, should the emergency demand it. Near him
stood another, a most
powerful and forbidding warrior, who was without firearms, but who was
armed with a bow, already
strung, and a quiver full of iron-pointed arrows. His coolness during
the scene of danger and
excitement was often the subject of remark afterward between the
officers whose attention
had been drawn to him. He stood apparently unaffected by the
excitement about him,but
not unmindful of the surrounding danger. Holding his bow in one hand,
with the other he continued
to draw from his quiver arrow after arrow. Each one he would
examine coolly as if
he expected to engage in target practise. First he would cast his eye along
the shaft of the arrow,
to see if it was perfectly straight and true, then he would with
thumb and finger gently
feel the point and edge of the barbed head, returning to the quiver each
one whose condition did
not satisfy him. In this manner he continued until he had selected
perhaps half a dozen
arrows, with which he seemed satisfied,and which he retained in his hand,
while his quick eye did
not permit a single incident about him to escape unnoticed.The noise of
the voices and the excitement
increased until a movement began on the part of the Indians who
were mounted, principally
the young men and boys. If the latter could be allowed to escape and
the chiefs be retained,
the desired object would be gained. Suddenly a rush was made. But for
the fact that my men
had been ordered not to fire, the attempt of the Indians would not have
been successful. I, as
well as the other officers near me called upon the men not to fire. The
result was that all but
four broke through the lines and made their escape. The four detained,
however, were those desired,
being chiefs and warriors of prominence......"
So which one do you think
I meant ...the "gray haired chief" or the one coolly picking out his
arrows, psyching them
out? ...I won't tell you what happened to him, it'd just depress you!"
So there you go ...this
is what I found out ...plus I also just discovered that "Miss White" lived
to a ripe old age and
died in 1938 ....it doesn't seem that long ago, really!
Looking forward to hearing
what the book "Pioneer Women" has to say on this subject....let's
hope it's happier than
some of the stuff I found!
Marnie
Angela, our Lady of the
Beasts found some more references to the "kidnap" in a book called
"Pioneer Women" this
is the information she found.
Angela's info....
"Anna and the King of Hearts:The True Story"
I am going to summarize
the information that I got from the book "PioneerWomen". First, some
information
about the book:
Title: Pioneer Women Voices
From the Kansas Frontier
Author: Joanna L. Stratton
Publisher: Simon &
Schuster
The story appears in Part
Two, Chapter Six, pg 123-126.
The author obtained the
information from "Emily Haines Harrison,
' Reminiscences of Early
Days in Ottawa County,'"Kansas Historical Society.
Vol.10(1907-8),pp.627-28.
(Whew!)
I am summarizing and paraphrasing in a linear list form for clarity.
1. Sarah and Anna were
captured separately, a month apart, by two different groups of warriors
who took them to
the same village. Sarah
was 17 years old, one of 7 children. Anna is described as a beautiful
young woman,
with, "...yellow hair,
blue eyes and a fair complexion". She had been married exactly one month.
2. At the village they
were forced to do menial chores. They were obedient but immediately
began to set aside dried
buffalo meat so they
would be ready to escape whenever they had a chance. The chance came
during a big
pow-wow.
3. They almost made it
to Fort Dodge when they were recaptured, whipped, tied to ponies and
taken back. Now
they had no privileges
whatever and settled to a life of hard work.
4. An Indian chief (who
is not named) proposed to Anna and she accepted hoping to improve her
lot. It worked. In
her words she states
that, "... my Indian husband would come in from the warpath bringing many
things he thought
would please me”.
5. Now the other women
had to wait on her and bring her firewood. All her husband expected of
her was for her to
tend his horse when he
came in. He would throw the lariat to her and she would “picket out” the
horse.
(WASH THE HORSE, ANNA?”)
6. In her words Anna began, “...to think much of him for his kindness to me.”
7. One day she was brought
the news that there were two white men in the camp. She did not
care to see them.
Then her own brother
walked into the tent.
8. Anna and Sarah were exchanged for the lives of five chiefs scheduled for hanging.
9. After their return,
Sarah made money by telling her story and selling her photograph. Anna
did not.
10. Anna is described
as melancholy and unable to forget her captivity. A few months after she
returned home, she
gave birth to a son,
by her Indian husband. The child died at age two.
11. An acquaintance reported that, “...her mind gradually failed and she died in an asylum.”
12. Anna is quoted as
having said, : “After I came back, the road seemed rough, and I often
wished they had never
found me.”
Joanna Stratton writes
that Custer wrote about this incident in “My Life on the Plains”and that
he wrote about the
story in a political
way. Her opinion is that the personal truth of the capture was very complex.
The End
PS The book has some humorous,
some frightening, and many touching and often sad anecdotes of
the
relationships of the
pioneer women with the Native people. If not available at your library
you
might find it at a
college library under
History/Women’s Studies which is its classification . Enjoy!
Hope everyone isn't too
disillusioned ...after all, we all need a little "happily ever after" in
our
lives!
WOW - Peggy, Oct/23/2000 14:37:27
Marnie,
Thanks so much - this is some good stuff. You're
right - I will hold on to my thoughts that CBS
portrayed!!!! I can't wait to see the movie again,
I missed some of the movie :-(
Peggy
OOOPS!--- - Marlene, Oct/24/2000 04:25:09
Marnie,
I stand corrected! You sure did a great research.
It was enteresting to learn there really was an Anna
and Sarah. I've heard of the book but never read it.
I'd better plan to do it real soon. It was sad to
learn about Anna's death, so young. And her two year
old son-wonder what his short history was!
Anna and her son's fate seems so similar to Cynthia
Ann Parker, the mother of Quanah Parker, the
Comanche leader in Texas.
Now thanks to your research,I'd say SWCH was really
close to real life material except the end of the
picture. But like it's already been said, we all
need a happy ending once in a while. And what a
great ending it was! Now I think I'm right on this.
Regards,Marlene

"Reservation Blues"
Author: Nefer , Oct/22/2000 17:44:14
Just finished reading Rez Blues by Sherman Alexie.
Anyone read it?
Remember the movie Smoke Signal where MG played

plus Victor and Thomas and Lester-Falls-Apart are

But it was so sad what happened to Junior. Wonder
if it will ever be movie?!

Michael in"Smoke Signals" - Marlene, Oct/30/2000 07:41:34
Nefer,
Before I get off the
web---What happened to Junior
of"Smoke Signals" in
the book"Rez Blues"? Was it
another demise for Michael's
character like "Johnny
in "Race Against Time"
or "Imala" in "Magnificent
Seven"? If they do make
a movie from Sherman Alexie
book,and Michael again
plays "Junior" will we see
Michael again bitting
the dust?
About MG biting the dust - Nefer, Oct/30/2000 18:01:24
l am sorry to say yes. He goes up a water tower
and shoots himself. l wonder if this movie will
ever be tho' although from what l read they were in
pre-production. Maybe it's held up because Adam
Beach is busy with Windtalkers til Feb. (l did
not realize who Junior was in the book until l
saw the credits from Smoke Signal)Wonder if
Michael will even be in it. Michael and Adam
are very busy guys, with movie deals. Yeah!!!
Oh l was so mad when he got killed in Race
Against Time--that could have been great if they
teamed together to fight those creeps-. The way
Michael fights (Dance Me Outside)tossing those
cops around.)TNT really screwed up- l mean after
the great job he did in Crazy Horse. Where were
their brains?

Canadian TV/Michael's Eyes - Marlene, Oct/30/2000 07:03:20
I agree with you about Canadian Broadcasts. I wonder
how much of Michael's work we're missing down here
in the states! I think I'll order "Big Bear tonight.
Part of "Crazy Horse" was filmed on Forest Service
land here in South Dakota, so since I work for the
Buffalo Gap Nat. Grasslands, I got an extra special
video and picture of the cast. I am so proud that
"Crazy Horse" was filmed in my neck of the woods.
Of course the fact that Michael was here working on
the movie was great. I wish those times were now.
I've bought "Mag Seven" and "True Women" and"Team
Cherokee" But I just keep looking at my recorded
tape of "Stolen Women Captured Hearts" over and over
I want to watch Michael's eyes again so I'll get off
the web site and go watch SWCH tonight.
RE: Michael's eyes - Nefer, Oct/30/2000 18:15:30
Lucky you to get the goodies from Crazy Horse.
Oh l can't wait to get to SWCH sometime today.
"Those eyes" is right. Watched Dance Me Outside
last Nite. Getting back to Crazy Horse, l loved
the way he rode the horse taking aim with the
buffalo herd running top speed. From the email
in FAQs he sure loved doing that. Would love that
scene as a picture. l better go- l could talk about
Michael and his films all day.

As some of you may or may not know, on APTN there is
