I am so happy that I have received the informatiive letter about the next TCM Festival's Passholder Options. If you have subscribed to the Festival information list, you might have already received the information in your personal email.
I found this link to an earlier Athens, Georgia, Film Festival with information about Angela Allen:

Here's a short article about Ms. Allen:
The African Queen (1951)
Saturday, April 12, 8:30 PM
SPECIAL GUEST: ANGELA ALLEN
A Classic Couple...
Special guest: Angela Allen
Angela Allen is one of Britain?s film industry treasures, having worked on hundreds of films for the past half century. Angela started work at an artists agency, Filmrights. She trained as a script supervisor (known as Continuity) at the Korda studios and worked on the second unit of the Third Man. Romulus films hired her for Pandora and The Flying Dutchman, and as the youngest continuity working in England, she was chosen by Sam Spiegel to work for John Huston on The African Queen. She then worked on 13 more of his films including Moby Dick, The Misfits, The Man Who Would Be King, Night Of The Iguana. In Georgia, she worked with Huston on Wise Blood, and in Hollywood she worked on the television movie The Patricia Neal Story. She worked in New York for NBC, and for Ray Stark on his stage production of Funny Girl. In California she worked for Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin and as script supervisor on some TV shows for Universal. More recently she worked with John Frankenheimer and has been involved with Franco Zeffirelli on his films and stage work. Her list of credits includes Tea for Mussolini, The Dirty Dozen, Women in Love, Downhill Racer, Murder on the Orient Express, Kenneth Branaugh?s Hamlet, among many others.
I was able to visit with this wonderful lady at Club TCM. She is very lovely and energetic, and is quite
willing to share her experiences with passholders. She talks about Ava, Marilyn, Clark, and John Huston like I might discuss a neighbor or cousin, matter-of-factly like someone who just passed the potatoes at the other end of the dining room table.
She laughs readily and enjoys listening to jokes as well as she relishes telling them. And she was a stand-in for AVA GARDNER and KATHARINE HEPBURN!
From the following website, http://www.gbct.org/script2.html, I found information about her on-camera
antics on The African Queen in 1952 in an excerpt from The Hustons by Lawrence Grobel:
"...a long shot was needed of Hepburn on the river, Angela Allen doubled for her. ' I was the only female...I was meant to be on the tiller...we had to go around this terrifying place with all those crocodiles lying on the bank. But I got to direct those pickup shots for two days'...Huston liked his script girl's spunk and professionalism. Over the years John would try to catch her in an error, but rarely succeeded.?
She was also featured in a lengthy documentary with Sir Carol Reed, "Shooting the Third Man" in 2004. If you ever have a chance to see Ms. Allen in person, or view the documentary, don't miss either one!

One of my favorite conversations with one of the presenters happened at Club TCM and
I was totally in awe.
Angela Allen--- absolutely unbelievable her career! And the folks she's met.
I was able to hear her introduce *Pandora and The Flying Dutchman.*
-
Well, then du know that *It's a Wunderbar Lebenspiel*, oder sumzing lak zat, dahling...

I was in a bubble pretty much the whole time, and I just waited in line. I think someone in
a uniform handed me a number, but I can't remember whether it was at the Egyptian or at Graumann's Chinese... I'm usually talking to people in front of me or behind me because I am
so bored waiting in line, and all the attendees were so much fun to talk to...

All my favorite ex-husbands that sent those wonderfully generous alimony checks have gone on to that great screening room in the sky......

Her majesty, Queen of all Boca, has now passed the record number of 13,000 posts, and as her majesty has proven in the past, she is not afraid of bacon-wrapped cheese sticks, stodgy posters, frogs, unbelievably obtuse two-headed movie monsters, and bags of popcorn prepared by unwashed teenagers.
A Hale and Hearty HUZZAH!!
Thanks to the C-MAVE, MAVA, for announcing this marvelous accomplishment with such verve and
style that befits a QUEEN OF EVERYTHING SHE SURVEYS.....
As one of the world's most devoted Francophiles, her visions of Provence plums dancing in her crowned glory, and BTW, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is STILL dead, but I digress, she has
thrilled us with many youtube travel videos, one after another, and we all wish we were lounging on the Riviera, and preparing our own TCM Film Fest near the shores of the Meditterranean with a
most beloved sovereign.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!

*My ideal house in the South of France would combine the down-to-earth rustic charms of Provence together with the clean lines of beachily-elegant Riviera "modernity".

I'll be there. I'll cook, chauffeur, and market. Merci!

So if you can make 10,000 lively, wonderful, informative, entertaining posts, you need to show up at the TCM Festival in 2011!
I can't keep them entertained with my silly antics for two years in a row. I need help!
