Director seeks 52 year old woman for scene in nightclub
In Denver a director attempted to cast a 52 year old woman for a scene in a stripclub film. An assistant brought out Shari Scott, a 27 year old exotic dancer, who fit the measured figure and got the part despite the intended age. Meanwhile Kansas City faced a morning thunderstorm that froze streets and paralyzed traffic with only one reported injury by midmorning. The storm spread across Missouri and Kansas, turning roads icy and causing numerous fender benders as drivers slipped through traffic signals and hills, with fog in river bottom areas.
