Who's that flying naked woman in "Jesus' Son?"

May 13, 2006 11:54 PM

Who is the actress that plays the naked flying woman that Billy Crudup and Dennis Leary see in the movie "Jesus' Son?" The Dennis Leary character says it's his wife, though I'm not sure we're meant to take that literally, and we never see the woman before or after that scene. IMDB and Google give no love.

Could it be Holly Hunter or Samantha Morton?

Haven't seen the movie, but those are the names listed on mrskin.com

Unfortunately, they're naked separately in the movie -- so they're not the naked women in question. But thanks for trying! Any other takers?

(Admittedly, this is a hard question)

Post a screen cap?

Well, just in case it is literal, here's his wife. Is it her?

Your best bet at this point is to nose around for contact info for the filmmakers. This 1999 article lists contact information for Elizabeth Cuthrell at Evenstar Productions, one of the film's producers, that might still be good:

Contact: Elizabeth Cuthrell, Evenstar Productions, 393 Broadway, New York, NY 10013. Tel: [phone], Fax: [phone].

If that doesn't work, search for the other producers/director listed here.

My friend worked on the film and just asked one of the producers, who responded that she was not credited because, technically, she was an extra. He didn't remember her name and thought she had been a friend of someone on the production. She was a New Yorker. He said they'd have her name on file, but that would be in deep storage now and nearly impossible to get at. He said that she was a trooper, even with getting dunked in the bay.
