Is that you confessing that you added it?
Oh, Heavens no! I’ll trust what others have found, but I haven’t followed it closely enough to be confident myself.
Plus, I’m personally not into updating music videos.
I don’t know how IMDB gets its listings in the first place, but I did notice that “Shatterdaymorn” who wrote the storyline section of the listing, is credited with 11,011 contributions to IMDB. Many (at least of the first 100 I looked at) are for music videos. Does anyone know how to contact Shatterdaymorn to see how they came to write that storyline, and whether they might have some production information?
Also, there are two other Regina Scotts listed in IMDB, one active in 1989-1990, and another in the 2000s. That Regina Scott has been involved in production, but who knows, maybe she did some commercials and music videos when she was just starting..
Also, let’s remember that the video is from 1982, so the actress is probably about 65 years old now.
Still no. However. . .
I was the person who submitted “Al Traina” to the “Tonight Show” cast (though I was not the person who found him), for those who remember that rabbit hole of a search.
I recently became curious about the making of Live’s Lightning Crashes music video. IMDB has very little info besides the names of the director and band members. Then, in the wiki, I came across this tidbit under Composition:
The song is written in the key of B major.[15] The identity of the female backing vocalist remains unknown.
Eh? I didn’t even realize there was a female backing vocalist. This sort of thing can drive you crazy.
And to Ms. Regina Scott: If you’re out there, come join the thread!
That thread is so vivid in my memory that I could almost type it out with no notes. Something about the carpet-covered pieces of the Tonight Show set really engaged my neurons. (I was wrong in the position I took in the thread, so you’d think I wouldn’t want to remind anyone of it, but… who cares?)
I don’t remember that thread, and have no idea who Al Traina is, or was. I remember this thread vividly. I sent a message to someone trying to find out who the actress was in the video, not really expecting an answer, and wound up having a nice chat.
IIRC, Al Traina was the publisher of People magazine back around 1970. A photo of him and a bunch of celebrities who had been in the magazine (e.g., Marlo Thomas and Glen Campbell) turned up, in which they were guests on The Tonight Show. It looked like Al was substituting for Johnny Carson (he wasn’t), thereby prompting the question “Who the hell is THAT guy???”
This was maybe ten years ago, but the memory lingers on.
It was a version of this image:
Right, and Johnny was cropped out of the photo for some reason.
Sorry about the nitpicking, but I don’t think it was People because that magazine’s first issue wasn’t until 1974.
It was Harper’s Bazaar, amongst others.
Correction noted.
That’s right. @terentii may have gotten the “P’s” mixed up: the Tonight Show photo was of the Awards recipients from “Photoplay”—Photoplay was a big-deal magazine for several decades, covering the movie industry (and television, in later years).
If one of us finds the old thread, it might give the title of the Awards, which may have been “The Photoplay Awards”:
Hey, what’s a “P” or two among friends? 
Frippends.
Yes, the Photoplay Awards.
Oh, that is a great resource—thanks.
I haven’t hunted down the thread because I’ve been interested in trying to remember as much as possible—but as I recall it took a long while for us to discover and accept that the man in the photo (that we were trying to ID) was there because he was hosting awards. I had fixed in my mind that awards would be given at banquets or in theaters/auditoriums–-not during an episode of the Tonight Show! (I was wrong, as I learned.)
I do remember that we were absolutely convinced that the man was actor Mark Richman, and that someone actually wrote to him or to his family. And this is the connection with the current Steppin’ Out thread, in which some identifications of the actress that turned out to be wrong are advanced.
I saw Mark Richman in an episode of Twilight Zone last night and immediately thought of that (and this) thread. Synchronicity!
Oh, which one is he in? (I should know, but don’t…)
