| Hey! I wonder if Larry Manetti could be of some assistance in solving the mystery that has stumped all of us? He tends to get the emails send to his radio show email address.

They must have had a list of extras that they could call on short notice, especially for beach scenes like this where many people needed to be placed in the background. Perhaps she was simply a local who they put on their short list?
Asking Larry Manetti sounds like a good idea, someone should do that. Might be a long shot though. I'd have a tough time remembering an acquaintance from 28 years ago.  |
I'm sure she was a local extra. I worked in television production for a few years, and saw many of the same extras repeatedly. Some agencies even specialize in "wrangling" extras. There's nothing last minute about it. The call sheets would list number of extras needed and for what purpose. For some films the numbers are massive, as in hundreds, for establishing shots and the like.
I doubt Larry would remember her, but it's possible.

| Hmm other than the good looking bikini extra that appeals to the predominantly male magnum maniac ... would there also be stalking overweight 'old fart' type local extras that we have just overlooked so far???

I'm more confused the more I read in this thread. She looks like an adult XXX actress from the 80s. It would not be the first time an adult performer was used in Magnum P.I. series.
R.J. Reynolds was a porn star who appeared in Don't say Goodbye (1981) and Past Tense (1982).

She does have that look, doesn't she?

Why is every porn actor automatically a star?  |
