How did I not know that Patricia Quinn<\/a>, who played Magenta (a domestic) in The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/i> was also Livilla in I, Claudius<\/i> (a miniseries of which I am inordinately fond) and also had a memorable (which is, perhaps, to say memorably naked) role in Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life<\/i>?<\/p>\n

I came to this information in a sort of round-about way.<\/p>\n

I was watching this week’s episode of Pushing Daisies<\/a> — a show which, if it’s never quite again reached the peaks of its first episode, has at least continued to be a lot of quirky and silly fun. <\/p>\n

A lot of that fun comes from impeccable casting. It’s tough to dislike for long a show that allows for Kristin Chenoweth or Ellen Green to occasionally break out into song. Most people will probably remember Green best as Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors<\/i>, and it was after hearing her sing a little of “Morning Has Broken<\/a>” in this week’s episode that I thought, “Hey, I’d like to hear a little of her singing from Little Shop<\/i>.” Particularly, I was interested in hearing “Suddenly Seymour<\/a>.” No real reason; I just remember it being a really good song from the movie.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I wandered over to YouTube and played a few clips. And then, because I was in a musical mood, I started playing clips from The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/i>. And then, because that’s how these things work, one thing led to another and I was looking cast members up in the IMDB.<\/p>\n

I’m seriously surprised I never noticed it was the same actress before.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
