In the time between then and now, when I read Ken Fishkin's post- ing making the same identification, I have seen the video three times. That is definitely *not* Terri Garr!!! I'm not *positive* who it is, but my original guess, which I stick by now, is that it's Christie Brinkley. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA

bip.
Terri Garr is the very last person to appear in the video,
and a lot of stations cut it before she comes on. But she is
there, honest.

No, it's Teri Garr. And the last walk-on in the video is the second appearance of Chevy Chase flipping a lighted cigarette in his mouth. Diane Wilkerson ..!hopd3!dvw

Well, I got a few mail messages with respect to my posting about Teri Garr not
being in the "Ghostbusters" video, most of them saying, when all is said and
done, that I was full of what makes the grass grow. So, Wednesday morning, I set
the Betamax to tape five hours worth of MTV whilst I slept the sleep of the con-
fident. Hah! I'll show those bastards! I arose in the late afternoon, and having
caught my fix of YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION (on Nickelodeon), I zipped
through approximately three and a half hours of the tape, until I hit "Ghost-
busters". When I got to the controversial sequence, I watched it about three
times, the whole while saying, "Naaahhhh. Doesn't look like Teri Garr to me."
Then, to be sure, I went through it again, frame by frame. Jaw drops to the
floor (Thud!). "Nahhh [a little less confidently], can't be! But it is! It *is*
Teri Garr!" And so, here I sit, with egg on my face. I can only say, and truth-
fully, too, that seen at normal speed, it *still* doesn't look like her! You
guys have sharper eyes than I.
<God, I'm so embarrassed>

<Who you gonna call?> You're all wrong! The girl in the video is Teri Garr. By the way, I missed the original list. Could someone send it to me or repost it? Thanks. Robert Perlberg Resource Dynamics Inc. New York philabs!rdin!perl

**********
I submitted this a couple of days ago, but it didn't seem to get to any of the
newsgroups it was posted to, so I'm going to try again. If any of you are see-
ing for a second time, I apologize.

I happened to be watching Casey Kasem's "America's Top 10" late one
night last week when he played the video for Ray Parker, Jr.'s
"Ghostbusters", and he was disussing the cameo appearances. Among
them he listed someone named "Ollie" or "Ali" (sorry, I couldn't ask
about the spelling) from "Ollie and Jerry" (or "Ali and Jerry"). As
this was the only name I didn't recognize, and since I noticed that
he didn't mention Eddy Grant OR Rick James. . .could this be the person
everyone's trying to identify? Does anyone know anything about "Ollie
and Jerry"?
Sorry, he didn't identify the leading lady.
