Fifteen Seconds of Fame

The Film Programme

Available for over a year

Antonia Quirke hears from listeners who found 15 seconds of fame in the movies, like John Chapman whose hair can be seen in two scenes in Star Wars. Hanja Kochansky rubbed shoulders with Richard Burton in Cleopatra, while Diane Poole was picked from her school playground to take the plum part of Hayley Mills' sister in Whistle Down The Wind. Antonia visits Downham village to meet Diane and her best friend Pam Dyson, who played Pam in the movie. There's the tale of the badly behaved extra and the resident of Notting Hill who was greeted one morning by the sight of Rhys Ifans in his grey underpants on his neighbour's doorstep.
