Now that British Airways has centralised its data with Salesforce, it is looking to help its global sales team collaborate to spot and respond to new opportunities faster than before.
BA adopted Salesforce's core CRM - Sales Cloud - back in 2014, three years after International Airlines Group (IAG) was formed, following the Iberia merger.
Previously the organisation was relying on siloed data and a CRM system from travel industry-specific vendor iSell.
Now, Sales Cloud is the global CRM for business-to-business sales teams across the two airlines. According to Edward Millington-Jones, sales enablement manager at British Airways, this has created a "single instance, single organisation" between the two airlines – helping to drive broader sales transformation.
The global sales team of around 800 people plans to better leverage the tool along with the collaboration capabilities of Salesforce Chatter and Community Cloud to link up global teams and react better to new opportunities from its customers, which are primarily agencies and corporate travel partners.
"It enables us to focus on our selling processes and efficiencies and delivering what the customer wants," explains Millington-Jones.
According to Millington-Jones, that means "getting deals filed quicker" and "being more reactive by using cases to manage requests and executing those".
"And also giving teams analytics and data they need to maximise efforts," he added.
BA has even put 72-hour service level agreements on certain activities like lounge or upgrade requests now that sales teams have better access to data.
For example, if BA was to open a new route to Nashville in the United States, sales teams now have the data to spot a corporate customer with an office there that may be interested in the route, or that has historically built itineraries with a stopping service to that destination.
Similarly any travel agencies with a particular focus on that destination may be contacted by the BA sales team to explore this opportunity and perhaps run some joint marketing activity as a result.
"We are always looking at personalising how we deal with customers and making things more relevant," Millington-Jones said. By having better access to information like booking activity, BA can start to help customers maximise their travel budgets by optimising their booking patterns.

This is where Millington-Jones sees some potential in Salesforce's AI-powered Einstein capabilities, which use machine learning to surface opportunities and match them with the right agents.
"We see an opportunity to quickly match agents with customers with the best propensity to take advantage of that opportunity and to raise an action," Millington-Jones said.
He admits that BA isn't currently leveraging the Einstein capabilities, which often come at an added cost, but did add: "We will look at it. That smart matching and how we identify opportunities across our network and how to match those at the time that may benefit and help us to fill the gaps, that's what we want to constantly get better at."

BA also uses data visualisation software from Tableau to give sales teams self-service dashboards directly within Salesforce.
This has saved account managers around 20 percent of their time normally spent mining and interrogating data, according to Millington-Jones.
Salesforce is also driving better collaboration across the B2B sales team.
"Account teams use Chatter and that is recorded to help on cases and on accounts and opportunities," Millington-Jones said.
BA also rolled out an instance of Salesforce Community Cloud earlier this year to create a customer portal. This allows agencies to better self serve for information and save on unnecessary contact with account managers.
For example, agencies can now enter their own fare distribution numbers within Community Cloud, instead of sending in spreadsheets.
"We have plans to further usage of Community Cloud to allow agents to self manage other areas like servicing requests and maybe deliver performance reporting around deals," Millington-Jones added.

Moving is tough for sure. You leave behind old memories to make new ones. It is definitely a fresh start and a new experience, but to carry those belongings to your new abode is not easy. Whether you are an old friend, a new next-door neighbour or just invited for a post-move party, make sure you don't end up empty-handed. Give some thought to reward the host's successful relocation spree with a nice housewarming gift. If you give something practical, it will be a welcome addition for their new abode.
Here are some ideas, which will force the new homeowner to praise you for ever.
- Pot Stand: Any nice stylish 3-in-1 or more pot stand that can be displayed in the balcony, terrace, garden or even in the living room will be an excellent giftfor someone who loves plants. It will add greenery element and will surely enhance the beauty of your house.
- Aluminium Ladder: You need it to reach out to cabinets, shelves, cleaning or fixing lights and life can get real tough without one. Get one with extra-wide rib steps for better stability and comfort. Made of aluminium, it is lightweight and durable and once used it can be folded and kept in a corner or under a bed.
- Memory Tree: A large Memory Photo Tree Wall Decor Removable Sticker will be a well-cherished gift. It adds a festive life and personality to any space and instantly livens up and decorates the room. It is easy to apply, remove, reposition, and reuse without leaving damage or residue.
- Fish Tank: This is an excellent gift for someone who loves to have fish as pets. A fish tank can accompany the home decoration for a very long period of time.
- 5. Mop with Easy Wheels and Bucket: Cleaning a floor is something that needs to be done on a daily basis. To reduce bending and hurting back, gift a mop with wheels and bucket. It works on all types of the floor like tiles, wooden flooring, slate, linoleum etc. Cleaning with mop is extremely easy since it provides 360-degree cleaning, while making sure every speck of dirt is removed from the floor. There are mops that can be used in both wet and dry forms to clean floors.
You can order for any of these from online shopping sites like Flipkart or Snapdeal and get it delivered at your doorstep. Home ownership can be overwhelming at times, especially if you have no prior experience with it. If someone is moving into their own house the very first time then he or she may not be aware of the types of things that are required. He or she may not have ever given a second thought that they might need it ever. At such times, a thoughtful house warming gift from you can fill their heart with joy and every time they use it they will remember you. If you're on a budget for gift shopping, you can make the most out of your money by looking for discount coupons from sites like Couponhaat.

The Horror Stories From Australia's Front Lines
Emergency workers share their horror stories from the front line as Australia releases first report into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
What you need to know
- Former police officer told ten daily post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is "rampant"
- As many as 20 percent of emergency workers are impacted by PTSD
- Intensive care paramedic estimated at least half of her colleagues have PTSD symptoms
- A landmark report released aims to better support the mental health of first-responders
For former police officer Belinda Niel, every day at work was a "bad day".
"People didn't come to me when it was a good day, it was always a bad day and bad news. Dealing with murder, trauma and hostages was a normal day for me," she said.
There are a handful of particularly gruesome scenarios she has never been able to forget.
"As a hostage negotiator I had a situation one time where the hostage was being stabbed in front of me as I was trying to negotiate their release. It was truly horrendous," she said.
Neil worked as police detective, homicide investigator and hostage negotiator until 2005 and is now a strong advocate of raising awareness about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
"It's a rampant problem, statistics indicate that as many as 20 percent, or one in five first responders will be impacted by PTSD," she told ten daily.
She was one of them.

After having children, Neil's life began to unravel. She had difficulty sleeping, was constantly on edge with fears her children were going to killed. She became irrational and was unable to concentrate and do her job. As a result, her marriage broke down and she couldn't get out of bed to go to work. She was diagnosed with PTSD and left the NSW police force.
"At the time, nobody had any training around mental health, nobody knew how to support me at work. There was no training in terms of identifying PTSD or even just stress.
"If you were senior you needed to be seen as 'tough'. The good thing is, I am beginning to see this change."
In an Australian-first, a report examining post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among the country's emergency services was released on Thursday.
The report is the outcome of a roundtable discussion at Australian Federal Police headquarters last year, exploring better ways to improve mental health for first responders like paramedics and police officers.

Think tank Australia21 and support service FearLess Outreach lead the initiative in conjunction with 20 organisations including state police departments, ambulance services and fire and rescue bodies.
When Helping Hurts: PTSD in First Responders, makes 31 recommendations to better manage the mental health of police, ambulance, fire services and defence force.
These include reviewing how recruits are screened so they are aware of the mental health risks of the job and normalising attitudes to post-traumatic stress so it's "not in any sense, a marker of a [being] genetically inferior being but a response to life challenges".
Ambulance Tasmania intensive care paramedic Ruby* estimates that more than half of her colleagues show signs of PTSD.
"There are some who are diagnosed but many others who show signs and symptoms but continue working undiagnosed," she said.
She said the stigma around mental illness remains, although it is getting better.
"It's a slow cultural shift, when I first started in 2011 and was an intern, it was a bit of a boys club. I didn't feel comfortable walking into the tea room and saying 'I just experienced something really bad', there would be eye rolls and advice like 'toughen up'," she told ten daily.
The report highlights the importance of workers with PTSD being able to return to jobs that are not on the front line, without a drop in their salary
On Tuesday, the head of the NSW Ambulance Service admitted the organisation had "completely failed" paramedics suffering trauma and mental health problems.
In a video sent to paramedics , chief executive Dominic Morgan delivered an apology on on behalf of NSW Ambulance (NSWA) acknowledging widespread bullying and that the service neglected mental health problems.
"NSW Ambulance has not always looked after all its staff as well as it should have," he said.
"For some, it will not be possible to fully recover until they are acknowledged and believed for the pain they experienced. For their pain I am sorry."

these were nice comfy socks which I actually bought for a hiking trip.
I wore them 3 or 4 times just on small walks and they are already see-through and have huge holes in the bottom!
Very warm ideal for walking the dog in the morning
I bought these socks for work very durable and very warm
nice warm, soft sock but I agree with other reviews, they are short in the foot and as a result were too small for me
These socks are a bit thinner than I was expecting, but they're still very warm. The heel sits just about right, but I'd like them to be a touch longer in the foot. Overall, I'm very happy with them and would buy them again.
I suffer from chilblains and was advised in store to buy these. They kept my feet warm. The only problem is the fit they are a but short and also a but wide.
The socks are warm but too wide.
Very warm and comfortable. Didn't need to adjust them on my walk like have with other socks.
Good fitting and warm walking sock. Excellent value for money
These socks are so warm and comfortable. My only complaint is that they're a bit on the small size. I am a size 5-6 and so bought the medium socks - they're a bit snug so will go a size up next time ( hope they won't be too big!)
Good fit and comfortable.
The best walking socks I've owned!
Excellent item, very comfortable for a walk up Whernside. My feet weren't at all uncomfortable, in fact I finished the walk with no discomfort with my feet having had blisters with other socks.
Great price. Socks wash well. Arrived in plenty of time .
I just love these socks they were very comfortable, no pinching along the tops of my toes from seams. My feet stayed dry and cosy warm all day. I will be ordering more and telling all my friends .
Thank you
I suffer with cold feet regularly so thought I would give these a try. A real test this weekend when we got caught out by the rain, even though my footwear leaked my feet felt warm and comfortable. I will be purchasing another pair for myself and I might even get some for my mother who is 85 and likes to keep her feet warm.
Nice but only wore them once and the grey ones shrank in the wash but the mauve ones did not, although in same wash load. Not to worry they still fit and are a bit thicker so more cushiony! I washed them at 40deg but have lost the care label so may be my own fault. Nice socks though.
Kept my feet nice and warm while not being too bulky

Amid the continuing standoff in Syria over US withdrawal and Turkish desire to carry the fight to US-allied Kurdish militias in the country, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Ankara in no uncertain terms that if Turkish forces took unilateral military action in Syria, it would have "devastating" consequences.
Pompeo met his counterpart, Turkish Foreign Minister Melvut Cavusoglu, on Wednesday in Washington, DC, who called the meeting "constructive." The two nations are at odds over Washington's recent attempts to bar Ankara from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program after Turkey purchased S-400 anti-air missile systems from Russia.
"Secretary Pompeo expressed support for ongoing negotiations regarding northeast Syria, while warning of the potentially devastating consequences of unilateral Turkish military action in the region," said US State Department spokesperson Robert Palladino in a statement following the talks.
Washington proposed an alternative buy to Ankara of an MIM-104 Patriot missile system, but that was rejected.
However, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay fired back at Pompeo, saying the US "must choose" whether it wants "to remain Turkey's ally or risk our friendship by joining forces with terrorists," which is how Ankara refers to the YPG and other Kurdish militias, and "undermine its NATO ally's defense against its enemies."
Kurdish militias in eastern Syria have been the US' primary ally in its fight against Daesh, and Washington forced Ankara to stand down late last year by refusing to budge so that Turkish forces could attack those militias. However, now that US President Donald Trump has announced the withdrawal of US forces from Syria after the defeat of Daesh, the door once again appears open to Ankara.

Graphic CCTV has been released showing the moment a close friend of rapper Drake was murdered as he waited to be buzzed into an apartment building.
Anthony Soares was ambushed and executed by two masked gunmen, who opened fire at close range through a glass door at the high rise building in Toronto, Canada.
Security cameras showed the 33-year-old victim waiting inside the foyer as the two killers jump out of a car towards the entrance.
Soares has nowhere to run as the men open fire, shattering the glass door and emptying their magazines as they gun him down in a hail of bullets.
The suspects, who were wearing hooded tops with their faces covered, flee in the waiting getaway car - a four-door, white Ford Fusion - as the victim lies on the ground.
Police in Toronto have now released the disturbing footage of the September 14 murder in a bid to identify the killers.
Homicide Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux said: "In essence, the deceased was trapped between the inner foyer area and the offenders, who were on the opposite side of the glass."
Soares, who was known to police, leaves behind a girlfriend and their toddler daughter.
Following the brutal murder, Drake paid tribute to his friend on Instagram.
Posting a picture of Soares, he wrote: "RIP to one of our family members...our brother... I still can't even believe this morning was real.
"It was a honor to have shared years together and I will always keep your memory alive."

After a very late kick-off in Kolkata, a fatigued FC Goa side finally secure a point to keep their heads high.
ATK played out a 1-1 draw against FC Goa at the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata in the first match of 2018 in the Indian Super League. An early strike from Robbie Keane was cancelled out by a controversial goal from Ferran Corominas who increased his goal tally to nine this season.
Let's take a look at the Indian Player Ratings for the match.
Debjit Majumder– 7.5
Debjit turned out to be the hero for ATK once again in this gruelling match. The goalkeeper made many saves to keep the game competitive for them. He was unlucky to have conceded a goal but was solid after that. His double save in the first half kept the scores level, while he also made some crucial ones in the second half to save his defenders from humiliation and keep the Kolkata side in the match.
Debajit made a super save from Brandon that kept ATK in the game
Majumder ended up making six saves, while also punching away the ball from danger on numerous occasions and showed dominance inside the penalty area with his assertive performance to help ATK earn a point.
Prabir Das– 4.0
Prabir Das has been pretty impressive for ATK in the right-back position so far this season, but he did himself no favors when under pressure against FC Goa. The 24-year-old right-back looked to be lively in the early minutes of the game. but things started to tumble for him after ATK gained the lead. He couldn't reach the ball in time for the clearance that resulted in Corominas' goal.
Das looked extremely rash and was booked for a terrible challenge, while he was lucky to be on the pitch after making a dangerous foul on Brandon Fernandes which should've been a penalty with a suspension for him. Teddy Sheringham subbed him off at halftime.
Anwar Ali– NA
Ali started the match brightly but was forced to go off at the 16 minute mark after sustaining an injury and was replaced by Ashutosh Mehta.
Keegan Perreira – 6.5
Keegan Perreira had a tough match up against the dangerous Mandar Rao Dessai and seemed to have gotten early jitters when he failed to stop Mandar from hitting a deadly shot on goal. However, he settled into the game slowly and stopped Goa from moving through the right flank, marking Rao Desai really well and not letting him go past him.
Hitesh Sharma– 6.0
It was yet another frustrating night for the young Hitesh Sharma, who showed a lot of energy throughout the 90 minutes, but could not come up with the end product. Sharma played the role of the link between midfield and attack really well and played some clever through balls to Zequinha and Keane.
He showed a lot of energy in the second half as well, but failed to create any big chance and could only see his side scrape through with a point in the end.
Jayesh Rane – 6.0
Jayesh Rane didn't really have the best of times with the vibrant winger not looking so dangerous on the day. Rane had to fulfill his defensive duties and had to often track back to help out his defenders, but couldn't find a way past Narayan Das on many occasions. His passing accuracy was at a poor 52% and he gave away possession cheaply on many occasions which almost sparked a counter-attack for Goa.
Ashutosh Mehta– 6.5
While he didn't get to start for ATK, Mehta had to come on rather early in the game for his side when he replaced Anwar Ali. He looked really reassuring on the ball and partnered Tom Thorpe quite well in the center of defense, as the two did their all to stop Corominas from being menacing.
However, Mehta couldn't really do anything about the unfortunate goal, but he did his best to stop Goa from taking the lead. His passing accuracy was great and he looked really comfortable on the ball, while always keeping a cool head and never lunging into challenges like some of his teammates.
Rupert Nongrum– 6.0
Nongrum replaced Prabir Das in the second half and drifted into central midfield for ATK, as he started with where Ryan Taylor left off in the first half. Nongrum looked quite reassuring for his side in the middle of midfield and sprayed the ball really well, but couldn't really do anything eye-catching or add any spark to ATK's attack. Was fouled sometimes which got him riled up, but he kept his cool and strolled through the rest of the game.

FC Goa:
Laxmikant Kattimani– 7.0
Laxmikant Kattimani has had some horrific performances in goal for FC Goa this season, but looked much relaxed and composed in between the posts for the Gaurs against ATK. While his opposition failed to really pile the pressure on him, they did manage to create chances out of nothing and Kattimani reacted well to them.
He made some really good saves to keep his side in the game, while also looking much safer with handling the ball and not letting the opposition pressurize him. Kattimani ended up making five saves in the game which would be a confidence booster for him and a relief for the fans seeing a much better showcase from their goalkeeper.
Seriton Fernandes– 7.5
Seriton Fernandes is slowly establishing himself as one of the finds of the ISL so far this season, with the former Churchill Brothers defender making quite a mark in the match against ATK. While one could argue that he could've done better to mark Keane for ATK's goal, Seriton was absolutely solid in general and isolated the dangerous Zequinha.
He also made some dangerous attacking movements, but his defensive work was terrific. Seriton made three crucial tackles as well as five clearances and made sure ATK could not penetrate through the left flank.
Mohamed Ali– 7.0
Mohamed Ali had the job of marking the dangerous Keane on the day and one could say he did it really well apart from a few miss-timed tackles. Ali asserted himself as the dominant, aggressive force for Goa early on in the game and did not let Keane have it easy. He was always close to him and marked him pretty well, while also making a few aggressive tackles to ruffle some feathers.
He did get yellow-carded for a rash challenge in the second half, but Ali was really strong defensively and made an amazing six interceptions and four clearances! He continues to prove himself as one of the best defenders in the ISL this season.
Narayan Das– 6.5
Narayan Das had a difficult encounter ahead of him against ATK, as he had to defend against both Rane and Prabir on the night. He was a bit shaky in the first half because of the barrage of attacks through his flank, but settled into the game later on and looked to be safer on the ball. He made more attacking runs in the second half and even created a few half-chances, with his crosses being pretty good.
Das had a rather decent game defensively making two interceptions and three tackles and looked quite solid towards the end before he had to be substituted after sustaining an injury late in the game.
Brandon Fernandes– 7.5
Brandon Fernandes looked like the only Indian player on the pitch who was capable of creating a dangerous chance for either side and was quite lively throughout the game for the Gaurs. Fernandes made some good movement on the left-hand side and made things really difficult for Prabir in the first half and should've gotten a penalty after he was brought down by the defender just inside the box.
He looked even more menacing on the counter-attack in the 2nd half and created three goalscoring chances, but was unlucky to see them being scuffed by his teammates. He also made a crucial block in the final minute to deny Keane from a clear shot on goal and Fernandes' impressive display won him the Emerging Player of the Match award.
Mandar Rao Dessai– 6.5
Mandar Rao Desai had a chance to score
It was a rather topsy-turvy game for Rao Dessai, who had a decent record against ATK coming into the game. He looked to be really threatening in the early stages of the match and curled in an amazing shot, but was unlucky to see it strike the post and go out.
Mandar made things difficult for Keegan Perreira in the first half but wasn't that prominent in the second half, when he missed a glorious opportunity when Corominas found him with a clear shot on goal but Mandar's scuffed shot was parried away. He showed good energy to spark some counter-attacks, but wasn't as effective as needed and should've done better in the second period.
Chinglensana Singh was brought into the game in the final few minutes in place of the injured Narayan Das and couldn't really do anything in that brief period.

Colombia's Energy Renaissance
Colombia's Energy Renaissance tells the story of how Colombia has revived its once flailing energy sector over the course of the last decade, developing into one of Latin America's foremost destinations for investment in the oil and gas sector and securing a steady supply of electricity for its growing population. As part of our focus on hemispheric energy issues, the AS/COA's Energy Action Group (EAG)* produced this paper to sum up ideas stemming from a June 2010 roundtable on energy in Bogota, Colombia. Bringing together leading public and private sector representatives for a conversation on key energy issues in Colombia, the EAG's Bogota roundtable explored Colombia's oil and gas regulatory framework, electricity sector, political climate, and environmental challenges. The paper makes several recommendations, drawn in part from that session.
- Colombia should continue to prioritize regulatory and contractual stability to ensure investor confidence.
- In order to expand regional energy integration in the electricity and oil and gas sectors, Colombia should seek to address inconsistencies in the regulatory frameworks between Colombia and its neighbors.
- Colombia should encourage investment in oil and gas pipelines and expand the power grid to bring electricity to all communities.
- Colombia should protect the environment and local communities without stifling development of the oil and gas sector.
- Colombia should continue to focus on a long-term strategy for encouraging greater use of cleaner, reliable fuels, such as natural gas, in the energy matrix.
- Colombia should capitalize on its clean energy matrix and take advantage of carbon financing.
*Americas Society and Council of the Americas' Energy Action Group brings together the public and private sectors to develop strategic energy policies for the Americas. The EAG hosts forums in cities across the Americas and publishes working papers and recommendations on key energy and climate topics.

Do You Want To Be Famous Or Do You Want To Act?
The most important lesson I've learned as an artist, a performing artist is:
You must make your own opportunities. An agent negotiates your price, you negotiate your worth. A manager gives you his or her observation of your type, your venues and how you present yourself. Nevertheless, in the final analysis, you and you alone, must be proactive in your own career.
Through the years, I have performed in over fifty stage productions since my early childhood. I am surprised at the advice my well-meaning friends and fellow actors give to me or others. On Yahoo Answers, there are countless questions, from small towns, big cities and villages across the world, asking either 1) How to I become a famous actor/actress; 2) How do I get an agent to become a famous actor/actress in movies; or 3) How do I get acting experience in my small town? Many saying they don't want to do theatre…only film…or the Twilight films…or work for Disney exclusively. Yes, most very young girls and boys and some; amazingly, high school seniors and early college teens and 20s.
The advice given to these questions is often way off-base – from just get an agent to pay for this agency [or that agency] and they'll put you in films. NO! You don't just "get an agent". Agents are business people and need clients who can book work. Thus, you need experience, lots of experience. Secondly, in my experience, 75% of the time, I booked more work on my own when I didn't have an agent.
There's no excuse, no matter where you are, for not finding opportunities to gain experience. Every city, town or village has some sort of place, school or community center that has or is open to entertainment or speakers. I was in a small town in Florida and found a tiny theater in a town that was two blocks long. The Lake Wales Little Theatre does good plays with really good turn-out for audiences. As a teen, on tour, I did a play in a town called Winnemucca, Nevada, where they had a huge, state-of-the-art theater called The Nixon Theatre. The cast of our musical out-numbered the audience. In fact, the whole town came to see the show and we all had Dairy Queen afterwards – the town and the cast!
Of course, it must be incredible to make a good living doing what you love. There have been lean times and more non-lean times with my acting career. Have I found opportunity? Yes, everywhere I go or have been. I've made more money as a stage manager – theaters always pay the crew. Actors are the last to be paid. Why? We are a dime a dozen. We all want to be noticed or famous and will work for free or low pay for that opportunity of recognition. Admit it, we all do it!
Do I want to be famous? Not necessarily, yet, if it means I will be paid every time I step on a stage. Then, count me in, "Yes!" What do I really want? To make a living as an actor! I do not seek riches in the millions. I can survive, even in New York, with $50,000 a year. The highest I have seen, in a lifetime of doing what I love [as often as I can], has been $20,000. It was not for acting, though, that was for administrative work. Still, I will not and cannot stop pursuing the dream. I am a Broadway actress/singer without a Broadway show.
My YouTube Videos: AngelAura28 — Part I
This is a quickie to share some of my favorite YouTube videos: Videos I made myself . . . with CyberDirector or Windows Movie Maker.
This one was just so much fun! I try to attend the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Flea Market & Grand Auction. Last year, 2010, I found a fun table for an Off Broadway play titled, Tales From The Tunnel.
I end up winning tickets to the play. I was happy to learn Wilson Jermaine Heredia, he played 'Angel' in the Broadway show and movie, Rent! At the play, he gave me a huge hug!!! What a great guy. In March 2011, I saw Wilson again on Broadway, this time, in La Cage Aux Folles. It was so much fun to see him again, at the stage door, we were like old friends!
A Rocky Horror Picture Show fan club asked for a 30 to 60 second video about "What Rocky Horror Means To You". I found I couldn't get it to 60 and say all I wanted. So, I videotaped a lot more — finally made a short version — then used the footage for this.
It has been years since I put on 'Frank N. Furter' make-up, so I really don't have enough of the right colors left. Still, I guess a decent job with what make-up I actually have. And my collection of Tim Curry collectibles.
When I first posted this, in 2007, it was clearer [as in video quality]. Hopefully, in storage, the original is still clear and I can re-make it with updates! Yes, I still want to portray 'Elphaba' in the Broadway musical, Wicked. Nevertheless, it's 99% positive I will not in this lifetime. I am more suited now to the role of 'Madame Morrible'. And I will play it proudly should the opportunity present itself!!!
I did, of course, portray my dream role at a Halloween party or two. The photo is from 2009 at the Manhattan Theatre Source Halloween gathering. And who knows, this year, I may done my green make-up again at a certain Halloween party.
Now, this production of a play is important to me. It was so exciting to see my friend (ex-boyfriend)'s story up on stage. It was moving and my reviews were fabulous. Even though, some facts were messed up in the final production — I want to make a true documentary on Fredy Adolfo Gonzalez De Leon as he still deals with homelessness, citizenship and now communicating with his son, Juan Miguel in Guatemala.
As I write this, Fredy lives in a shelter in the Bronx. Although, he enjoys it there. He awaits his status from our government on his citizenship. Nevertheless, he is unable to earn money or fend for himself. Sort of sad, really.
For now, I will close with another video about my work . . . and do another one of these soon, with more videos!

DELUSIONS: Angels, Punks & Raging Queens Long Forgotten
Angels, Punks & Raging Queens
By Angela Theresa Egic
(my original title)
A few weeks ago, someone I used to call a friend, posted in a public forum that I, Angela Theresa "Curry's Angel" Collins-Egic, am just "not that memorable"; also, I apparently "lack charisma" to boot.
Since I originally penned this article (last week) — a little glitch in my life [an abnormal mammogram and upcoming needle biopsy to see if its benign or malignant] has caused me to think about memory, being remembered, etc. Two and a half years shy of my half-century mark, I'm having the longevity conversation with myself . So, as I chronicle my life, up to now and hopefully well into the next fifty or so years.
The person who said this does need a little introduction, because to most of you, he's not that memorable, I would think. To most of my readers, he's unknown, in fact:
He was born Andrew Martin Arnold but solely uses the stage name of Andrew Martin now. It suits him well.
When we met, back in 1985…I thought he was a 17-year-old girl. Andrew would tell you the same; that he looked like a 17-year-old girl.
For a few of those youthful years, Andrew did start wearing women's clothing, taking my hand-me-downs, in fact; and marketed his transvestite image. He utilized my talents and Susie "Squeaky" Schwartzberg's talent to do two cabaret acts at a venue called Jason's Park Royal. The first one titled: THE LADY AND HIS MUSIC.
He was Miss Andrew, in every sense of the word. A talented, off-the-wall and interesting young gay man.
To some degree, he and I were as close as any two friends could be. Andrew and I met at an 8th Street pizza joint called Bennie's [worst pizza ever – yet we ate a slice every week]. The day I walked in there, across the street from 8thStreet Playhouse in NYC; on my way to see the NY showing of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: I met these two girls, [I thought]; when the very thin, flat-chested one told me her name was "Andrew". I was a little taken aback. The shorter one, with a tomboyish charm [yet, was obviously female] was "Barbara".
Really, they didn't even look related. Nevertheless, they were: fraternal twins.
In 1985, though, Andrew, Barbara and I, and a few others became a gang of misfits, at a place where us misfits fit in. There was the "8th Street Gang [Cast]" and "us". "Us" who wanted to be in the 8th Street cast—all of us talented enough, yet not popular enough – to Sal Piro, at least. Being that Sal is the President of the Official RHPS Fan Club and cast the floorshow (now called shadowcasts) back then. We were still misfits.
We showed up every week, though, at 8th Street Playhouse – Miss Andrew, Barbara Arnold, Susie "Squeaky" Schwartzberg, Phil Dejean, Shawn Rozsa, Mad Man Mike, Andy Grondahl, Hawkeye, A.J. and many more. Since Sal seemed to have blacklisted quite a few of us from being in the popular 8th Street cast…I found us another way!
I moved to Brooklyn and heard about a midnight showing of RHPS on Saturday midnight. When I heard the floorshow [shadowcast] was thrown out, I grabbed my mis-fitted friends and swooped in to have our own show. I wanted to have the best cast! A cast that would have people saying we were "as good as the 8th Street cast" or "better than"!
I just wanted Sal to see how talented we were and have him, finally, offer us a role in the big show in Manhattan; or acknowledge us, at the very least.
We put the show together, quickly. I had every intention of playing 'Magenta'; no one wanted to play 'Frank N. Furter', oddly. Inspired by an 8th Street idol of mine, Julie Calabrese, I molded myself into 'Frank N. Furter'. Oh yes, and my other idol, Dori Hartley. [She, Dori, had moved on with her life before I had arrived in New York, though].
Our (really, my) cast, The Low Down Cheap Little Punks, at Brooklyn's Marboro Theater, became known as one the best casts in the East coast – comparable to Manhattan's 8th Street Playhouse! At least, as far as I was concerned! Sal Piro eventually took most of my cast into his cast – so, that tells you something. Some of the top cast members of Sal's 8th Street group, in 1986, got their start in MY CAST!
As time went on, around 1987, when I began working in a talent agency – we represented Sal Piro – Sal and I started a professional, respectful friendship: I've attended many Rocky Horror conventions where Sal and I had some great conversations. My favorite was a Las Vegas convention, in the 90s, when Sal introduced me as "one of the most dedicated" fans of RHPS.
Sal also put me in his 2nd RHPS book Creatures of the Night II;invited me to be part of the first television showing of RHPS at FX Studios [I went as Frank N. Furter, of course]; and Sal asked me take his RHPS items to an Albany, NY convention when he couldn't attend.
In the early years, I was at every convention from the 10th Anniversary (Beacon Theater) – and where my original costume – "Curry's Angel" brought me Good Morning America and newspaper reporters and photographer's interviewing me about "who" I was.
Found out, later, one of the friends' buzzing about me told the reporters that my real name was Angela Curry . . . and that I was Tim Curry's real-life niece!!!
I hadn't even met Tim Curry, at that point!
Nevertheless, the next morning, as my interview aired, millions of viewers thought I was, indeed, Tim Curry's niece as the name ANGELA CURRY was emblazoned at the bottom part of the screen. Coincidentally, when I finally did met TC, it would be revealed how much I resembled his real-life niece. I believe she, Tim Curry's real-life niece (he has three); one resembles me [I'm older, I believe]; she, my doppleganger Curry niece, has aged much better than me, though.
About three weeks ago – on the Facebook 8th Street Playhouse page – to be told by Miss Andrew that I am "not that memorable" and that I lack "charisma", really got up my crawl!
We must also remember, after 1987, Andrew disappeared from the RHPS fan base and refused to be part of any of our conventions, get-togethers, etc. until about 2008 or 2009.
In short, while I was involved, actively from 1983 (AZ) to 1984-1987 (NY) and then from 1988-now at conventions, another stint as 'Frank N. Furter' in Arizona in the 90s, made a "rock-u-mentary (1990) w/the AZ group, talked to Tim Curry and had many conversations with Sal Piro, Patricia Quinn and Richard O'Brien and too many cast(s) – all the way to England – and had a RHPS newsletter – fans from as far as Italy and France writing me fan mail . . . Really?! Not memorable? No charisma? Me?
Are you talking to me, Andrew? Unmemorable, little ole me?
Andrew claims "more people" remember him from those days. I might agree with him about that, of course. My argument is NOT the numbers; it's the words about a personality – no charisma, not very memorable. Are those words you say to a friend? A friend so instrumental in so many memories, my own and in his, and many others!
There are people from "those days" who approach me, remember me, actually . . . whom I cannot, for the life of me, remember at all. BUT, friend or foe, I would never be so rude to say to them: "you're not very memorable" or "you must've lacked charisma".
Hell, for all I know, they are very memorable and have tons of charisma – I just wasn't lucky enough to see it and or get to know this great person at the time. My loss.
Which was my point with Andrew Martin, supposedly my friend … he went on to remind me and the group how "everyone remembers him" and "hardly anyone" remembers me. A snob! An ego-maniac.
A very insecure person, envious of my involvement and part of this history. Andrew missed the years between 1987-2007, when we had reunion's, conventions and were interviewed by German, French and British TV shows and even American specials.
After I blocked him on Facebook – had unfriended him months ago when he posted some rude, jealous and snobby remark on my wall – I actually just feel sorry for him. He is, insecure. He is dysfunctional much more than most of us. I claim to have empathy.
Of course, without proper, professional diagnosis, I can say, from my experience (in life) – I find Andrew shows signs of classic Narcissist Personality Disorder. I had another friend with a professional diagnosis of the disorder – thus, I see the similar signs in Andrew.
This means, I really should be empathetic. Yet, I, too, have my ego and insecurities, as well. I guess we're all a bit narcissist in the theatre business!
A recent scare, which I'm still dealing with calmly, made me think about . . . well, being remembered, etc. and how we are remembered.
I have no fear of death, itself, yet I don't want to do it right now. I want to see one hundred years on this earth, I mean, if I'm capable and not crippled up, etc. Yet, as I have had friends pass on – far too many for someone my age – it makes me think about who will remember me? Who will share these memories with me, of me and our times in the 1980s?
If Andrew is right, and I'm not that memorable or charismatic — me being there was all, I don't know, an illusion.
I thought I finally did fit in. I had found my people – the different, the misfits, the unusual – and now, maybe I am still an alien, the kid easiest to bully, the ugly one, the forgettable one.
Sure, I know it's not true, really.
Andrew is trying to hurt me to make himself feel better – for his insecurities – yet, he succeeded. As really, no one even stood up for me!
I may understand why, though – Andrew will argue, filibuster – and would've pestered anyone who dares speak up for me. Because I spoke up for me and he went on and on until I ended it by blocking him! It just would've soothed my ego (of course, not my authentic self as "ego" is the false self) if someone had spoken up for me.
I guess we can say Rocky Horror Picture Show also attracts insecure people all around! Yikes!

Curry Chronicles: Meeting The Man — Part II
DISCLAIMER: These are my experiences, shared by me, as they happened to me. People in these true event(s), may not remember them in the same way. Certain facts can be agreed upon by all parties, nevertheless. I met Tim Curry, in New York, on August 28, 1987. Beyond that, I do not, in any way, suggest, hold or express that anyone else experienced this event in any paranormal, psychic or unusual way. That is how my experience of the event(s) happened, though.
By Angela Theresa Egic
I laugh and think to myself "Did I say that out loud? [Pause] My God, I did!"
Then, I realize Tim is moving closer and closer to me, and due to the natural body space thing – I back away a little. Again, not that I mind that he is closing in on me, but it is getting difficult to see his face as he is very close indeed. Besides I try to get a look at his crotch [pay back is a bitch]. When I finally take a big step back and get a good look "there" it's a total loss. His pants are very loose in the front and what I want to see is not visible in the baggy pants.
I must've looked very disappointed, Tim seems hurt at my expression.
To comfort him, I get out two words, "Loose pants."
Tim laughs that laugh. I'm a bit embarrassed that twice now, I've been so bold.
To cover my embarrassment, more words come pouring out of my mouth a mile a minute. "When is Me and My Girl opening? Where? Can I get your addre . . . er, I mean . . .your autograph?"
Tim laughs at my little blunder and nods yes about the autograph.
Since I am empty-handed; my backpack with pens and autograph book on the nearby bench, he eyes me and waits without a word.
His patient glance jolts me to attention, I nervously giggle and say, "Oh yeah, sorry, let me get the autograph book!" As I walk to my bag — a fun idea occurs to me.
Liz is still on the phone.
"Hey Tim!" I am surprised at my familiarity. "You wanna really freak somebody out?"
Tim gets this sinister gleam in his eye, as only he can do, and says "Yeah!"
Wow, he is exactly as I imagined — fun and playful!
Hardly believing it, I instruct him, "Go pick up that phone over there and say 'Hello Liz'!"
Tim beams and walks right over to the pay phone, picks it up, and says "Hello Liz!"
My jaw must've been on the floor. I smile to myself thinking, "Wow! Tim listens to me!"
I pull out the book for him to sign he is still having a little conversation with Liz.
As I approach, he excuses himself graciously from Liz, gently lays the phone where I had left it, and gives me his full-undivided attention. All right, I am the only one there at this point, too!
He signs thoughtfully, thinking about what he was writing. I continue talking. Tim takes in every word and responds to my questions. After he finishes signing, he closes the book and hands it to me.
Tim waits, I thank him and he continues to stand there.
Finally running out of words, Tim still there, I tell him, "Oh, I am going to see Blue Money this weekend!"
Sounding excited, Tim responds, "Oh, is that out here now?!"
Then I make a huge mistake, I confess, "I just saw Times Square! I really like it!"
Tim rolls his eyes, then sarcastically informs me, "Oh that is my LEAST favorite!"
Uncomfortable at my blunder, "Oh well, I guess I said the wrong thing! I am a writer, Tim, and you should have been in it more!"
TC is now acting like I'm an annoying child; no longer smiling he's being so very professional.
I hate it. Moments ago, he was so fun, playing with me verbally. Now he was so standoffish.
I had to make up to him fast . . . I need him to remember me, notice me! What can I say now? Oh, of course, let me follow-up with what I know.
"Oh, by the way, how is your niece, Tim? I heard she was sick." I meant it, too, I did want to know how it turned out.
TC completely came out of his momentary stoic attitude; reaching for my hand, I think, with a few tears in his eyes, "Oh my God, she was so sick. I am so worried about her!"
"Did she see a doctor?"
Very worried, Tim tells me, "No, she refuses to go . . . says she doesn't need one!"
I tried to reassure him, "It's been very hot here. She probably just was overheated."
"Do you think so?" He earnestly asks me.
"Yes, definitely, " I honestly share, "it happens to me a lot in this humidity."
Tim and I are friends again!
"Can I please get a picture? I brought my camera." Tim didn't look particularly pleased with this request. I quickly added, "Oh, I want to be in it too!"
Tim laughed and agreed, "Oh, sure!"
Like a perfect cue, Tim's friend, an older British gentleman with curly gray hair, comes out of the hallway and tells TC it is time to go.
Tim calls out, "Perry, will you take a picture for this girl here?"
Another Perry! My friend, Perry, was the one who told me about Tim and his niece at Dreamgirls.
Tim's friend, Perry, says sure, and asks me to show him how to work my camera.
TC winks at Perry and comes to stand beside me. Tim and Perry are having some sort of secret non-verbal conversation about me, as I was to find out.
Tim and I stand side by side. Tim grins at Perry, not even turning toward me. I lift my hand, behind TC, and start to put it on his shoulder, I get cold feet and put my arm down to my side. Before I can think about the chance I've just lost — to actually touch him; Tim GRABS ME AND PULLS ME AGAINST HIS LEFT SIDE! HARD!
I thought I was going to fall over, yet TC throws his arm over my shoulder; it didn't hurt, he holds me up. All I'm thinking is 'Tim Curry just grabbed me! Wow!'
FLASH! The picture is taken.
Tim still has his arm over my shoulder. TC is looking in my face, saying "Thank you!"
"No, Tim, thank you!"
Hmmm, his hand is still there and, wait, was that warm feeling moving down toward my breast. Is Tim really moving his hand slowly toward my left breast? Is he going to grope me, right here, in front of Perry and the security guard? Crazy thoughts run wildly through my head . . .!
Perry is holding my camera toward me, but will not bringing it to me. He can clearly see that Tim has me in his grip. I don't want to be rude and remove his hand, nor walk forward causing Tim's hand, radiating such heat into my shoulder, to drop off of me. And still slowly, I can feel his hand moving very, very slowly to cup my breast. Really?
No, I must be imagining this, wishing it, right?
No, I think he's really doing this!
Perry blurts out, "Don't you want your camera?"
"Yeah, of course." Perry makes me leave Tim. As Tim's hand drops off me, TC winks at Perry.
They were teasing me, I am sure! Hilarious . . .guys, really hilarious.
Perry heads to the exit. Tim turns to look at me and walks backward, without peaking behind him, and repeats thank you as I say it back to him. It's a game!
"Thank you!"
"No, thank YOU!
"No, thank YOU!"
I hear the elevator chime; Tim and Perry are gone. It's just me, the security guy [behind a plexy glass thing and he never looked up from his book].
"What was that?!" is all I can think.
Then I remember Liz! I run over to the phone and sort of collapse against the wall, again. I am flying, I am high, and I am dizzy and euphoric! Who needs liquor or drugs?
Liz informs me she taped the whole thing!!! We decide to keep the meeting to ourselves until TC leaves town with the tour. Otherwise too many RHPS fans may come up and interrupt rehearsals. I didn't want to be the reason the rehearsals are interrupted.
I hang up with Liz and realize I forgot to give TC my letter!!! The one where I tell him this was my birthday gift one month early and about the Village Voice personal ad.
Like magic, a tall young man with glasses comes out of the hallway. I approach him.
"Are you in Me and My Girl with Tim Curry?" He assures me he is and I hand him my letter. "You have to give it to Tim tomorrow."
The man is wide-eyed, like he's scared of me. "Yes, I will."
"Promise? It's really important!" As I take advantage of his fear of me.
The next morning, as I awake for work, my phone rings. I hear a weird click and the following:
Tim Curry: Hello, Liz!
Liz: (weakly): Hello? [she sounds suspicious]
Tim Curry: Where are you?
Liz: Long Island? [hesitantly]
Tim Curry: Oh, that's quite a long way away, isn't it?
Liz: I guess.
Tim Curry: I'm talking to your friend here!
Liz: I know.
Then Liz came on the phone, live. We laughed about how she had Tim on the phone, and she thought I put someone up to it. Liz didn't believe it was really him (until a week later)!!!
Through the years, Liz would call me in the morning and play the tape. I would always get a good laugh and smile hearing his voice, talking to her.
Sadly, the tape disappeared eventually. We never made the copy.
Curry Chronicles: Meeting The Man — Part I
DISCLAIMER: These are my experiences, shared by me, as they happened to me. People in these true event(s), may not remember them in the same way. Certain facts can be agreed upon by all parties, nevertheless. I met Tim Curry, in New York, on August 28, 1987. Beyond that, I do not, in any way, suggest, hold or express that anyone else experienced this event in any paranormal, psychic or unusual way. That is how my experience of the event(s) happened, though.
By Angela Theresa Egic
- The psychic also said, "Tim Curry is just a breath away, just turn around and he will be there."
- I understood, I would meet TC while I was still 23 years old and nearly 24 years old.
- Tim's niece became ill and Tim brought her out to the lobby.
- It was apparent to me, the time was close at hand – time for Tim and me to come together again [after many lifetimes]. I knew three things my first visit with one of my most important [i]soul mates had to have:
- It was to be just Tim and me, alone – no other fans around.
- I wanted to leave a lasting impression on Tim, to remember me by. I'll decided to write him a personal ad on the back of the Village Voice! It was original, different and I never heard about a fan doing that for a celebrity.
- I would leave a lasting, positive, impression on him so he'd never forget meeting me.
Why the Village Voice? It was 1987, we were all into the Village Voice weekly paper, at least, in New York. This was before the internet and texting; the Back Page was the 1980s version of texting/Facebook! You'd see notes on the VV Back Page:
Looking for the cute guy I saw on the F train at West 4th. Meet me at The Gap at 4:00pm.
I posted this personal ad a couple of days before I actually met him. I knew it we were meeting, I had no hesitation to go ahead and place the ad.
My Dearest Tim . . . Read my lips! I'm glad we finally met. How about drinks, sometime? . . . Your Angel
Thus, as our day to meet approached, I went to the 'Village Voice' offices to pay for and place my ad, to TC. So, it would appear the Wednesday after we would meet. This way, I could tell him of my gift for him when I would meet him the end of the next week.
Then the day before I met him, which, as I predicted would be while I was still 23 years old and nearly 24 years old; it would occur [the meeting]. EXACTLY one month to the day before my September 28th birthday! I wrote him a thank you note . . . which read, in part:
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me and sign your autograph! This is the best birthday present I've ever gotten — to finally meet you! And be sure to check the 'Village Voice' this Wednesday, I left you a special message.
I also enclosed the poem I wrote for him, in my best handwriting on a stationary paper with a beautiful white unicorn on it! It looked like it was from the film "Legend"!
Then, work was over and I head over to 1515 Broadway on August 28, 1987. There I am standing in the third floor lobby of Minskoff Rehearsal Studios. Three seems to be a recurring number with Tim Curry and I.
The security guard observes me and said nothing. I suspect my appearance much like any other young actor coming to rehearse in these studios. I look at the 'board' seeing who is rehearsing and where.
"Me And My Girl"–Room 6
I act like I've found what I want and go into the inner lobby. Tim is there . . . like an angel calling in the mist; I hear his voice, singing . . .from just down the hall! My heart skips a few beats; I am weak in the knees, euphoric, dizzy. I try sitting, it' not working.
I hear footsteps coming down the hall. I compose myself and prepare. It's an elderly couple and they come right to me.
The elderly British woman says to me, "You must be here to see Tim! He'll be right out, luv!"
You all know the rest . . . she and the gentleman think I am TC's daughter. They take their leave, I go to the pay phone [before the invention of cell phones] and call my best friend, Liz Bank, to quell my nerves or keep me from running screaming into the street.
With one ear I listen to Liz, while hearing Tim's velvet-like singing and powerful speaking voice coming clearly down the hall. Then I hear goodbyes. I know Tim is on his way out! Liz insists on holding and begs me not to hang up. I lay the phone down on the little tray below the phone.
Quick footsteps approach the waiting area —the wall holds me up as butterflies explode inside my stomach. I think to myself, if I don't talk now the opportunity is going to pass right by. Considering Tim's rapid movement, I was not mistaken. I end up right in his path as I propel myself off the wall. Because I am in his way in the narrow area, he halts and smiles broadly, yet nervously.
I think he must also think I am his daughter and/or a teenage girl or both, as did Tim's friends !
In a voice much too squeaky to be mine, I blurt out the first words that come to me. "Hello Mr. Curry, I've been waiting five years to meet you!"
He looks me up and down curiously, and says, "Yes?"
We stand together, in the middle of this room. I ask questions and he nods or says "Yeah."
He says it a lot, in fact. I notice his Cheshire grin the whole time and at some point, I realize, he is looking at my chest!!!
Not that I mind, still, I'd also like him to notice my face or know my eye color at some point! I finally get frustrated with his glances downward at my minimal assets [at the time]. Not sure if Tim is even listening to me, I go to where his eyes are and point up and say, "Tim, my eyes are up here!"
I laugh and think to myself "Did I say that out loud? [Pause] My God, I did!"
[i] I believe we can have several soul mates in one lifetime.
Curry Chronicles: You Must Be His Daughter — Part II
DISCLAIMER: These are my experiences, shared by me, as they happened to me. People in these true event(s), may not remember them in the same way. Certain facts can be agreed upon by all parties, nevertheless. I met Tim Curry, in New York, on August 28, 1987. Beyond that, I do not, in any way, suggest, hold or express that anyone else experienced this event in any paranormal, psychic or unusual way. That is how my experience of the event(s) happened, though.
TC reminded me of something deep in my soul . . . a soul mate, yes, but more than that! A long-lost love, friend, brother, father, a voice in my very soul, a guide, a comfort and the spirit which accompanied me through lifetime after lifetime in so many ways. Crazy maybe, certainly it couldn't hurt to meet him, to befriend him or to date him.
The psychic informed me of several past lives: TC had been my brother in one lifetime, my husband in another. These lives seemed to bring out memories in me. I wondered; would I remind TC, too? Would he feel a spark with me, too? Or was all this just my wishful thinking?
I had this dream that night:
I was walking, coming up on the Marriott Marquis. There were billboards on the front of the hotel, all photographs from Me and My Girl. People where everywhere. Of course, that is the way it is in New York.
Standing still, in front of one of the photos of Jim Dale (the Broadway star, at the time, playing the lead in Me and My Girl) was a man. His back was to me as he looked at the photos. I recognized it was Tim Curry, anyway.
I moved closer, through the crowd toward the back of TC. Suddenly, I was aware I was dreaming.
As I reached TC, put out my hand to tap him on the shoulder, he turned around and said, brightly, "Hello, my angel! I'm here!"
"Here?" I repeated, "…at the Marriott?"
He grinned, "I'm here."
We did this back and forth a few times.
I woke up feeling energized, truly connected.
It was time to meet the man!
The next day, awake and happy, I just knew it was time: I went to find my friend Perry.
Perry had been working, as an usher, at Cats since it opened.
My intuition was so strong now; I knew that had changed after years.
Not too long before, Dream Girls are re-opened in NY. My instincts told me:
1) Tim Curry had seen Dream Girls
2) Perry had moved to usher at Dream Girls
3) Perry had seen Tim Curry there, tried to contact me.
NOTE: Perry Dell 'Aquila and I met at AADA. In 1987, I hadn't kept in good contact. I would stop by Cats from time to time, still, I had moved and he didn't have my new phone number. It has been awhile since I stopped by Cats.
As I walked past the Winter Garden Theater and to Dream Girls, knowing Perry had moved – I went to the stage door of the Dream Girls theater.
"Is Perry here?" I asked a crew member.
He told me, "He went on break, probably be back soon."
"Any minute!" I just knew it.
As I went to the front of the theater, Perry was walking toward me, a huge smile on his face!
Perry started, "I was trying to call you on Thursday night! You already know, right?"
Perry is well aware of my intuitive nature, and ties to TC. "Yeah, Tim was here, at the show."
Then, I heard what happened! TC didn't see the show. He was in the lobby all evening with his niece! She had taken ill right before the show and told her uncle to stay and watch the show. But, Tim, being a good loving uncle wasn't going to leave her alone in the lobby.
Perry also told me, he nearly called my name upon seeing Tim and his niece. Apparently, I look just like his niece!
It makes sense, since in 1985, at a Rocky Horror 10th Anniversary convention, I was asked several times if it was "true" that I am "Tim Curry's niece"!
To this day, I have no clue who may have started this rumor. It certainly wasn't me! My feelings for TC were not familial. Definitely not! Of course, I was a bit skeeved out watching Clue. TC does look remarkably similar to my mother's brother, Curly, in the film. I am not, in any way, attracted to my Uncle Curly!
I asked Perry, about his sighting of TC and his niece. "Where would the cast for a Broadway tour be rehearsing?" Certainly, Perry would know.
He gave me two possible addresses, saying the use one of the two. One was a downtown address; the other was called The Minskoff Rehearsal Studios.
Minskoff's address: 1515 Broadway!!!
Remember, those big glass doors with the escalator inside going to the movie theaters? Minskoff Rehearsal Studios is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Marriott Marquis – MM.
August 28, 1987: I'm going up one of those escalators at 1515 Broadway, to an elevator to—what? The third floor! The security guard, on the third floor, observed me enter the acting rehearsal studio lobby. He said nothing, went back to reading his book.
I suspect my appearance much like any other young actor coming to rehearse. Tim was there, somewhere, too.
Like an angel calling in the mist, I heard his voice, singing . . . from just down the hall!
I went to a near-by bench, to sit down and wait for TC to finish his rehearsal.
Hearing TC's voice coming down this corridor, this elderly man and woman came out of an archway which leads to a hallway. The hallway where TC's voice was floating into my ears and soul.
The woman, in a thick English, laugh-like voice, bellowed, "Oh darling! You must be here to see Tim Curry?!"
She hugged me! The kind man, also with a thick English accent, jollily, "Yes, he will be here shortly!"
Seeing as I wasn't wearing any badges, shirts or pins, which showed my obsession with TC, I wondered how they knew and asked, "How did you know?!"
The woman curiously said, "You look just like him! You must be his daughter!"
My only response, "He has a daughter?!"
The man said, "We thought you were!" with a bit of seriousness, "You're going to scare him, then!"
Scare him? Why would I scare TC? I was very well-mannered, I thought.
The couple explained to me that fact I looked just like him would scare him as he would think the same thing . . . I look too much like him.
I asked the most important question at that point, "Is there any other way Tim can leave this building?"
My thought was he'd skip out another exit.
As if I stepped into a Monty Python film, the older gentleman replied, "Only if he jumps out the window!"
I laughed nervously.
Master Manifestor: 2011 Off To A Great Start
In the past few years, I've been utilizing "Law of Attraction" and intention . . .
Some amazing things have happened for me this month, this year and just this week . . . beside me, on my cork board, I have a photograph of one of my favorite actors in the world: British actor, Alan Rickman.
Also, I'm was trying to enter a contest to win a trip around the world in 80 days. Here is my video. Unfortunately, the upload on the site isn't working for my video. I will find a way to submit it, though! What do you think?
Well, in the past years, I had put out the wish to meet him in person, and see him live on stage.
Nevertheless, a few days ago, maybe a week — I saw a poster of Alan Rickman on the subway, right? I took a picture of it (the poster), I liked it so much! He excites me. I didn't realize that the poster was an advertisement for a stage play, I thought it was a film.
It is a play, live on stage, at BAM (Brooklyn)! Someone made me aware of that two days ago . . . Alan Rickman is in NY, live on stage!
I have my ticket and will manifest this dream this coming week. Hopefully, both of them, by meeting Mr. Rickman at the stage door. From my typing to God's ears!
I'm working on writing and publishing my book . . . I read the first two chapters, today, of my book Nonfiction Book Proposals Anybody Can Write.
Today, I was checking my email . . . and I see the subject line: WIN A BOOK CONTRACT!
Divine timing . . . exactly as I was thinking about it and I manifested a contest. Wow!
What's more, it is with Conari Press.
Back in 1992, I read a book called Random Acts of Kindness, the publisher: Conari Press! It gets better.
In the book, on the back page of the just published book, they asked for submissions of stories of kindness.
I've won writing awards growing up, so I wrote two stories of kindness to them and send them off. I forgot about them.
A few months later, or a year later, 1993 . . . I receive a package in the mail with two books in it. The books are More Random Acts of Kindness. It came with a letter.
When I read: "Dear Ms. Egic (my legal name), Thank you for your submission . . . " I immediately thought it was a rejection letter.
I read on: "...we received over 1000 stories and could only choose 25 to publish."
I knew I had been rejected . . . " . . . and we chose yours as one of the 25! Congratulations!"
Conari Press was the first book who published my work in a national book! And now, I get an email from them about winning a book contract . . . divine creation as I am about to write my book.
Also, working on my entry to win a trip around the world for 80 Days from Cathay Airlines. Although, having trouble uploading the video to them.
Best Compliment Award: From Dori Hartley
Originally meant to post this in October . . .
Since I didn't, here is a wonderful compliment I received from Dori Hartley . . . whom many of us know from her infamy of being the first 'Frank N. Furter' when Rocky Horror Picture Show was becoming a cult classic back in the late 70s, early 80s in New York City — and in the United States.
If you pick up, or find a copy of a book called CREATURES OF THE NIGHT by Sal Piro, you will find her story and many others. Afterwards, if you find a copy of CREATURES OF THE NIGHT II by Sal Piro; well, you'll find my photograph(s) and a little about me, the infamous, Curry's Angel.
Of course, since I wasn't the first or never became a regular 'Frank N. Furter' at the actual 8th Street Playhouse — my fame is fading some. Nevertheless, I've had some years of what I call Rocky Horror fame. As you read the article below, about me and my association with Rocky Horror and all that entails — you will see my wish was "to be the next Dori Hartley". In many ways it came true and ran full circle.
Besides getting to meet Dori, a few times (at RHPS conventions); in the past few years, via facebook and the RHPS family we all formed, I am happy she calls me a friend. We are not the best of friends [in the sense of knowing each other extremely well], or have we ever chatted, in person, for hours, or on the phone (as friends would do) — nevertheless, we have exchanged private emails and via facebook and, I believe, if we do, or had opportunity to hang out or chat on the phone, it would be for hours! It would also be fun, informative and really interesting!
Yet, we are quite sympatico and deep inside, I know, we understand one another as much as two, very unique women of similar age can. We are, for lack of a better word, contemporaries. We've had some common experiences, both of us have strong opinions [on which we agree, and many we would not agree], yet, respect each other enough to live and let live on things of which we'd, no doubt, disagree.
Also, like Dori, I did meet Tim Curry, as was also my goal.
Here is her wonderful note to me [I vote it the best compliment of 2010, and perhaps of the whole decade, so far!]. If nothing else, as noted in her note, Dori gets me, even when she doesn't!
Angela – You're an original and I'm pretty sure you've taken your share of guff in your time.
I love your spirit and your independence. You're as mad as a hatter and I have to let you know that I am YOUR fan – for your originality, your ability to stick with what YOU believe, and your 'oh yeah? you think I care?' attitude.
I totally respect you because you are uniquely you, all the time.
And Dori, I am your fan . . . for sure!
Now, my story:
The Story of "Curry's Angel"
It Was Great When It All Began
A long, long time ago (1979) in a galaxy far, far away (Phoenix, Arizona) my journey into Rocky Horror began, and almost ended at the same time! Being the 16-year-old Christian child that I was, I expected a fun film where we teenagers, who enjoyed acting, were able to do so. What I found was underage teens emulating sexual behavior, cursing like truck-drivers and men dressing like women! I was afraid to go to the bathroom because my two escorts, two other teen girls and their mothers, told me "don't go to the bathroom because there is only one!" At the time, not really realizing that most of the guys wouldn't even care if they saw me (or any other women) naked – thoughts of rape and molestation ran through my mind. My moral, Christian upbringing was being shaken at the foundation. In the next month, having seen the film Footloose, no doubt; I talked about starting a petition against The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I didn't try very hard, but I told a couple teachers that it was immoral and should be banned! Little did I know what would happen two short years later…
At the age of 18, my mind was opened up… a lot. I was finding my chosen faith of Born Again Christianity much too limiting. My beliefs left no place in God's world for my Jewish friends, my homosexual friends and my friends raised without organized religion. So, I asked the same friend, Traci Dubow, who escorted me in 1979, if she'd be willing to re-initiate the new me into the R.H.P.S.
That fateful night I fell in… love (or is it lust) with, as I put it, "that man in the fishnets and corset" and wanted to be part of it all. I was obsessed, trying to find every book written on the film and on Tim Curry – and I found them everywhere! In that same year, I read Sal Piro's Creatures of the Night and read about Dori Hartley. I told all my new Rocky Horror friends that "Angela Theresa Egic is going to be the next Dori Hartley of Rocky Horror!" This was also around the year I was officially titled "Curry's Angel".
Since I am an actress, my first cast in Arizona was pretty impressed with my virgin performance at Rocky Horror and invited me back for the next week to audition to be a permanent Janet. I did that and then the cast was fired! I took over and began a cast of volunteer audience members. We had no costumes and most of us were still new to the film, but we all acted and performed our hearts out. Admittedly I was getting them into shape and we were doing pretty well for our inexperience… then BOOM!! Some big guy showed up, with entourage in tow. He had been doing the R.H. circuit for several years and he took over. He made me the understudy Magenta, Janet and a real occasional Columbia. But he did let me in the show free for the next year as a cast member. His name was Max Medina and his wife who became the regular Janet, also named Angela. To keep confusion down I began signing our cast list as The Next Mrs. Curry. Max was constantly telling me I wasn't a true R.H. fan, but a Tim Curry fan. One night, Max, frustrated at my endless "Curry lines" during the film, shouted at me."Angela! Who do you think you are, Tim Curry's angel or something?!!" (I'd like to note this was before angels became all the rage, too).I responded, "Yeah, Max, I am his angel! That's why my mother named me Angela!!"Soon after two other cast members and I began our 70's tribute as "Curry's Angels" with us two Angela's and our Columbia – I was Jaclyn Shit, then the other Angela, with the hair was Farrah Fucked Up and Kate Jackass. I kept the "Curry's Angel" name, obviously. I was the biggest Tim Curry fan of our group!
And that's how I became Curry's Angel in 1983 – which leads me back to my becoming the next Dori Hartley. The ways I most wanted to be like Dori was to become famous in the R.H. circuit and to actually know Tim Curry!! At this time I didn't have the "balls" to consider even playing "Frank N. Furter" in a cast. I was pretty content with Janet and Magenta.Thus, the first thing I did on my road to R.H. fame was to write the fan club president, Sal Piro. I ordered a "Tim Curry Fearless shirt" and wrote him a note of how much I adore Tim Curry and the show. He wrote me back!! Little "Curry's Angel" got a little from someone Dori Hartley was close friends with!!! Sal told me the medium t-shirt I ordered was gone and he only had a small one left… did I want it? I said "Yes" even though I like my shirts big.
The next few years many things happened.
Most importantly, in 1984, I was accepted to The American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) in New York City.
I arrived in NY on October 12, 1984, only two weeks after my 21st birthday. My goals: to go to 8th Street Playhouse, meet and become friends with Sal Piro, join the cast and meet Tim Curry and become friends with him too! This, or course, would make me quite famous in the R.H. community!
My first visit to the 8th Street Playhouse was rather interesting, a whole different crowd from the Phoenix group. Met Sal before the show and asked about being in the cast, he said he did need a female Magenta. Culture shock city for me! But I had yet to get together a full costume, and that was an 8th Street requirement. By the time I got things together Sal had a full cast and didn't seem too interested in either knowing me or casting me. I was this annoying Tim Curry fan always sitting in the third row trying to out-scream the resident 8th Street cast Tim fanatic, Michelle Rehfeld.
I boasted to everyone there how I was going to know Tim Curry and he was going to know me. They all thought I was just another young, fly-by-night, Rocky Horror fan, never to be seen again. But this Girl from Arizona who called herself Curry's Angel never went away! Eventually, I became a regular audience member of 8th Street, and as much as I annoyed a lot of the cast, I slowly began to fit it. They stopped calling me "the Girl from Arizona" and started to accept that I was indeed "Curry's Angel".
Later, living in Brooklyn… there was a theatre, The Marlboro, which showed R.H.P.S. on Saturday midnights only. I approached the manager of that theater and several of the 8th Street regulars and asked if we could be the resident cast of Brooklyn. The manager agreed and gave us a date that we could try it out. And as true and dedicated fans of the 8th Street cast, we still went into NYC on Friday nights, and for anniversaries. Our show was only on Saturday nights.
In the two or three years that the show was in Brooklyn, several of our cast members became 8th Street regulars. In fact, some of our originally Brooklyn cast are still involved with the fan club and the NYC Cast!
To make a long story short (too late)… On August 28, 1987 at about 6:00 p.m., in New York City – I met Tim Curry! He [Tim Curry] was in rehearsal for the Broadway touring cast of Me and My Girl. I tracked him down through my friend who worked in "the Broadway Circuit" and met him…by myself, and I made quite an impression! It would take several more pages to explain what happened with me and Tim and why, to this day, he knows me by name and calls me his angel when we do see each other. The interesting part, Tim and I never discussed R.H.P.S. the whole 20 minutes we chatted during that first meeting. It just didn't come up.
I retired a couple of weeks after the meeting. In 1992, I volunteered to use my years of RHPS experience to do a column, in a now defunct fanzine by Mad Man Mike called When Madness Takes Its Toll. When Mike decided to end his fanzine I started my own [now defunct]. I premiered it at the "1993 Mini-Con" in Washington, DC. I titled mine The Unconventional Conventionalists R.H. Newsletter.
Since 1992, I've been in full retirement from the performing aspect of the RHPS. I've attended many RHPS conventions and seen Mr. Curry several more times through the years. In fact, I've met, sometimes hung out, with a lot of the original film cast of RHPS.
And Sal Piro has had me involved in some convention and a Halloween TV special on cable! I've also appeared as "Curry's Angel" at the 10th Anniversary in NYC and the 15th Anniversary in Los Angeles.
In 2008, via a friend in Hollywood, CA, I also had the pleasure of meeting the original "Trixie/Magenta" from the Broadway Roxy cast of Rocky Horror Show; the lovely Jamie Donnelly!
Currently, I live in New York doing stage acting and still pursuing a career as a Broadway actor/singer and writer. I am working on my first book about developing your psychic gifts; I also work as an Intuitive/Medium.
Comments also welcome here! Keep reading as I will have updates about my books, my intuitive work and my stage work.
Happy New Year!
Love, Light & Laughter,
Angela Theresa
