> [@Sternvogel](#): > > Andie MacDowell was in _Green Card_. I could have sworn she was in The Frighteners - I thought she played the shrink/girlfiend who helped Michael J Fox escape from the looney bin so he could battle the evil black death ghost but IMDB lists \*\*Trini Alvarado \*\* as the actress in that role - _with no photo_! Maybe Andie used a pseudonym… ---

Since OJ was already played, lets revisit something else. Are we still doing the no sequels thing? Because it looks like the first Naked Gun was already played as well. If we don’t allow it, we need another movie for **R. Lee Ermey**. If we do, then we need someone else for **The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult**. Someone like, say, **Anna Nicole Smith** for instance. Either way, **The Klansman** is still in play. **Anyrose** , if you go to Photographs on the IMDB page for The Frighteners, they have some pictures of Trini. You’re right, they do look quite a bit alike. Andie’s about 10 years older, though. ---

And since I keep mentioning her name, for the benefit of those searching, Andie McDowell appears to still be available. ---

I made a point of spelling her name correctly in my post – it’s [Andie MacDowell](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000510/). She’s sometimes credited as **Andie Mac Dowall** , but she’s always a “Mac”. For Shawnee Smith, let’s go with _The Party Crashers_. ---
