Tonight I was watching the special “making of” documentary on the original Labyrinth (yep, for the THESIS) when up popped the choreographer – one Cheryl McFadden. Who looked an awful lot like… Blink, blink. Wait a second! That’s Gates McFadden! Yep, Dr. Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation was the choreographer on both Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. Bonus cool points: she’s from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Also discovered while briefly trolling IMDB tonight: Katie Holmes is from Ohio, too – from the eternally-maligned (although somewhat rightfully so) Toledo.
Ah, Ohio. It’s a great state to leave. 🙂
