Barbara De Rossi in Freckled Max and the Spooks

In 1987, Barbara De Rossi played a key role in a television miniseries called Teta, otherwise known as Frankenstein's Aunt. This TV production was edited down into a feature film called Freckled Max and the Spooks (which is the English title of the original Czechoslovakian Pehavý Max a strasidlá). The project featured an international cast, with actors from a variety of countries participating. Originally presented in the Slovak language, it has also been released in with German audio (possibly other languages as well) and with subtitles in a number of languages.

Barbara De Rossi plays the role of Klara, the love interest of Frankenstein (!), in Freckled Max and the Spooks. She was no stranger to TV miniseries, having already appeared in The Octopus (La piovra) in 1984 and had experience with miniseries with international casts having previously appeared in Quo Vadis? and Mussolini and I, both in 1985.

Barbara De Rossi in Stay as You Are and The Cricket

In 1978, Barbara De Rossi appeared in her first movie, Stay as You Are (the English title of Così come sei). She did not have a very big role in the film, with the bulk of the female screen time going to star Nastassja Kinski. However, the movie offered her some nice exposure and allowed an opportunity to act opposite the prolific Marcello Mastroianni.

Barbara De Rossi's second film was The Cricket (the English title of La cicala) in 1980. This movie offered her the chance to play a larger part and displayed her talents quite nicely.

Tarah Nutter on Nero Wolfe

In 1981, Tarah Nutter guest starred in an episode the detective show Nero Wolfe. The show was short-lived, and is best remembered today as either William Conrad's show between Cannon and Jake and the Fatman or as Lee Horsley's first show (or his show before Matt Houston). Tarah Nutter, after starring in the movie Without Warning, a sci-fi/horror cult classic released in 1980, then turned her attention to television roles. The first TV appearance she made was on Nero Wolfe, in a small but central part. In an episode called 'Before I Die' Tarah Nutter plays Elaine Page, a woman who is unaware that her father is a big-time criminal. When her father dies, Nero Wolfe is charged with ensuring that the young woman gets her inheritance.

Jill Townsend on The Wild Wild West

In 1967 and 1968, Jill Townsend was part of the cast of the CBS 70 minute western TV show Cimarron Strip. That show was cancelled after only one season, perhaps due in part to the fact that there were so many westerns on television at the time. After the demise of Cimarron Strip in 1968, Jill Townsend spent all of 1969 doing guest appearances on other popular old west TV series. Her first featured role on TV after Cimarron Strip was on The Wild Wild West on CBS and she followed that up with appearances on Bonanza and The Virginian for NBC. However, after this flurry of old west activity in the late 1960s, Jill Townsend would never appear in a western again. It was good while it lasted, though!

Jill Townsend appeared on an episode of The Wild Wild West called 'The Night of the Sabatini Death' which aired in early 1969. In the epsiode, Jill Townsend plays a blind woman named Sylvia Nolan who is unaware that she is the daughter of big-time criminal, Johnny Sabatini. Sabatini, just before he dies, asks star Jim West to make sure that a young woman gets a certain gift. Sabatini dies before he can give the whole story, so Mr. West and his cohort must visit Calliope, Missouri in order to begin unraveling the mystery. Alan Hale and Jim Backus, both of Gilligan's Island, appear in this episode of the show. Jill Townsend does very well with her part and looks quite lovely as well.
