In reality, though, [Shirley Hendersen] is more than 20 years older than Moaning Myrtle. And she possesses the pragmatic, no-nonsense confidence of her 37 years. She certainly has no delusions of self-importance and no pretensions of fame - nor does she have the incessant weepiness about her that summed up both the Harry Potter role and that of Jude in Bridget Jones’s Diary.
Holy Voly, I never would have guessed.

Wow...I thought she looked kinda old (for Myrtle) but I just thought it was the ghosty makeup.

"Moaning Myrtle" sounds like a porn-star name.

Carey said she would offer a dinner date to anyone giving more than $5,000 to her campaign that seeks to replace Gov. Gray Davis if he is recalled by voters on Oct. 7.

Asked if the date could lead to a sexual encounter, campaign aide Jayson Helgeson replied: "I don't think so, that's not part of it. It's like a normal date."

Pressed to clarify what a normal date means for a woman who has appeared in [edited: by me, deal with it], he put the phone on hold to clarify and then responded: "No sex, no matter what."

Good thing he checked that out. [Eek!]

He had to put the phone on hold? This is getting worse by the second.

They call them candi-dates for a reason you know. [Wink]

Don't worry Kat. With all the other candidates, I bet she won't get more than 10% of the vote. [Smile]

Mary Carey's Platform

quote:
My Gubernatorial Platform
The most important issue facing California right now is our $38 billion deficit and 6.7% unemployment rate. California needs a governor who will get our finances in order! As a “political outsider,” I have fresh, original ideas for helping the state generate revenue and reduce its deficit. Here are just some of them:

1. Legalize gay marriage in California. This will generate a tremendous amount of revenue for the state as a honeymoon destination.

2. Tax breast implants. From Beverly Hills alone, we should bring in millions in tax revenue. (Note: I am all-natural and I personally discourage the use of implants!)

3. Make lap dances a tax deductible business expense. This will help grease the wheels of business in California and stimulate our economy.

4. If I’m elected Governor, I will wire the Governor’s Mansion with live web cams in every room. We will create a pay site, and all money collected will go toward reducing the deficit. Californians will get to see their government in action - literally! (Also, we will have people from around the globe helping to pay off our debt, so it doesn’t all fall on the shoulders of Californians.)

5. I will create a “Porn for Pistols” program to take handguns off the streets. Dealing with the violence and injuries associated with handguns is a huge drain on our state's resources.

6. As Governor, I will recruit fellow performers from the adult video industry as ambassadors of good will. These ambassadors will be a great help to California when it comes to such things as negotiating rates for buying electricity from neighboring states.

7. I will coordinate the state’s unemployment and jury systems, so that anyone who applies for unemployment will instantly be called for jury duty. This will save California state and local governments millions of dollars, because we won’t have to pay for jury duty. It will also relieve those with jobs from the stress of serving on lengthy juries.

8. I will fight the federal government's attempts to harass the adult video industry. Adult video is an $11 billion industry that creates more than $23 million in taxes each year for the state of California. We can't afford to lose this tax base!

Do a google search on Marey Carey...

the first few options will be some very disgusting things, so don't take them...

go to the one that talks of her for gubner.
It's PG-13.

I had never heard that an adult fim actress was running, I guess with all the candidates that are in this race, some really funny ones slip through the cracks.

LOL, Thor.

I knew Moaning Myrtle had to be older, because she has to stay the same age appearance-wise until the fourth movie comes out, when she comes back. If she really were that young, she'd have aged and would look different.

Maybe we weren't looking at the same site. [Eek!]

The one I was looking at looked like it was a radio interview. It's scroll bar at the bottom of the page looks like the scroll bar on the side of page at hatrack when it gets to its 49th post. It was a mess to try and read.

...unless her definition of "No Sex" is like Bill Clinton's. If they are using the same dictionary, she may get a few donations. [Big Grin]

Sorry.

Let's all get back to talking about Moaning Mertle, no more speak of Moaning Mary.

So.... I pictured her plainer in the books. She was sad in the movies, but her smile was too cute for her to be dreadful.

Her voice was dreadful, though. And not at all in the way I imagined it.

I thought the actress that played Moaning Myrtle was horrible! She was the most annoying thing in the movie, and looked nothing at all like a young girl. I really hope they get a new one for future MM appearances.

It makes sense to get an adult actress. I was wondering how they were going to explain a three-year older ghost in Movie IV.

As for her part in Movie II, it didn't strike me as horrible. It was a pretty minor part.

See, I'd have to say that most annoying part about the movie was the ending.
