**First films of people who became very famous** 1. Alien – Sigourney Weaver (not technically her first, but she had only 1 line in her very first) 2. Coast of Terror – Mel Gibson An Australian-produced film also known as “Summer City”. Only reason I know this is because about fifteen years ago I worked for a company that produced and distributed cheap DVDs of obscure, second-rate, public domain, or direct-to-video films for things like the “2 for $10” bins in WalMart and elsewhere, and “Summer City” was one of our titles. And yeah, the packaging definitely played up the “Featuring Mad Max” connection. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

Can I Do It … 'Til I need Glasses? - Robin Williams _Can I Do It_ was a raunchy sex comedy sketch movie. Williams’ scenes didn’t make the final cut in the original 1977 release, but they were restored and the movie re-released after he gained fame from “Mork and Mindy,” which debuted in 1978. But _Can I Do It_ was still his first film. ---
