Ten Commandments 1956




I posted this in GD and forgot to post it here.

The fund raiser was the 60th anniversery showing of "The Ten Commandments": http://www.omahafilmevent.com/upcoming.htm

And actress Kathy Garver who portrayed young Rachel in the film. She is the last known actress to have a speaking part under the direction of Cecil B DeMille.

Kathy Garver is best know as Cissy on "Family Affair".

Marta and I met Kathy in 2004. (http://www.steveandmarta.com/tzcon2004.htm) She was so happy with something I said, I got a kiss. It happened so fast we didn't get a photo. We recreated the kiss tonight. A local actor that played Moses for the attendees to our left. He owns the most successful "Haunted House" in the Omaha area each October.

Apparently Marta didn't want to talk about the kiss back then: Next we went on to Kathy Garver, who still looks like Cissy on "Family Affair." She had done some TZ episodes on radio, and had them for sale; we purchased her performance on "The Fever." She signed a cast photo from FA for us as well, and Steve was quite happy.
