Mike and I parted to go to different events. He went to Screenwriting 101 and I went to Anne Lockhart's Q&A session.
Her Q&A session mainly had a focus on her role of Sheba in the original Battlestar Galactica. It turns out not much was going on for her career at the time Glenn Larson first approached her with the idea of her on the show. Sheba's character was almost nonexistent and actually blended into the background of the show. Lockhart didn't want to play the character and told Larson she wanted Sheba to have a larger role in the series, she wanted Sheba to be a strong character. Larson went back & after rewriting the role approached Lockhart again with new script. This time she was pleased. It turns out Sheba was the first character ( female ) to ever on a regular basics be shown on a military role.
Anne said that during shooting the show little interesting things did happen on the set. During the episode where the warriors played in a sports tournament. Walking around the set it was hard not to laugh at the men walking around wearing speedios. When shooting the scene that showed the men being congratulated for the sport and the women standing shortly behind them. Just after the scene was over and the men started walking away, both ladies at the same time, gave those speedio wearing actors wedgies they'll never forget.
At one point when filming an episode Richard Hatch ( Apollo ). Was supposed to be leading a team of Vipers into battle. Now when filming was done for the original BSG, green screens had not come into being yet so actors and actresses really could see video projected on to the wall behind them. Hatch was sitting in the massive prop Viper acting off the remembered script when he looks to his side. While the prop Viper was facing one way and him with it. The video Vipers were facing & running in the opposite direction. Hatch had to give the screen a double take when he caught sight of this.
There was a line that had to be cut with very good reason from an episode one day. To quote the Devil "You have nothing to fear as long as I'm inside you." The actor who spoke this couldn't help cracking up when saying this and Lockhart couldn't keep a straight face when the line was said to her. The line was companied about but the producers didn't want to change it. Eventually it was cut out and changed after concerned people presented the script to a group in Hollywood involved with the moral of film.
When filming A Dream of Jennifer for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. At either 11:20 or 11:30am something that she can't remember set off her, Gerard and two other actors into such fits of laugher that the filming was called off so every body could get lunch. The laughing was so bad one of the painted red faced actors was on the floor in the fetal position crying making white streaks through his makeup.
I asked the question of what role did she play in The Fifth Element. She'd done voice acting for the movie for more than one part in the movie. Shes also done voice acting for a bunch of other films. When talking about Project X she was cracking up. She had to audition for the part of making chimp noses. They rolled the film with no sound and listened to her hoot and holler like a chimp. A note I'd wondered about for a while that was answered here. Muffet Two had a chimp inside the costume.
Some thing Anne had fun with a few years ago. The USA Network wanted to bring back Lost in Space as a new TV series. They cast her into the series as the voice of Jupiter One without realizing who her mom was. She tried her best to sound like her mom so people would get the clue. The last voice acting project she did recently was for Disney for a coming animated movie named "Bolt".
If I'm remembering this correctly three or four generations of Lockharts have played in A Christmas Carol.
