owlman Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 My wife was an extra in the film of Wicked Lady shot on the Longshore estate near Fox House in 1981 or 82. Was anyone else an extra in this film starring Alan Bates and Faye Dunaway and directed by Michael Winner ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milcan Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 My husband and I were choosen to be extra's. Yes, we were paid £8 a day - four days. My husband was out of work at the time and we had to declare what we had been paid. But we had a laugh, it was an experience to look back on and the photo's too.

WTAW Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Just been trawling through the old posts and came across this! My family were extra's in this film (mum,dad, sister,brother and me) and we all got paid £8 per day. Can still remember the shock of seeing Marina Sirtes breasts, I was about 12 at the time, my brother thought it was great (he would being a boy!). Can still remember the hanging scene now: "I don't care whether you're fore me or against me all I know is that you came here to give me a grand send off" How hot was it on those hills and how many pieces of fruit and breadcakes etc did we eat!!!"

pete_fcs Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 thanks marky.... i thought michael winner's version was awful: no feel or atmosphere; the original was far better even if it does look dated now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-veggie Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I was in it. I was cripple! (I am in real life so it worked well! ROFL) You can see me at the hanging scene leaning on the bottom of the galows frame. My friend was a donkey man. And yes, I remember the cake (parkin or gingerbread maybe?) and all the bread rolls and fruit. By the end of the first day or so, it was all proving too much for me, so I went and sat by the caravans and crew services on the other side of the road (down in the car park, i think).
