Laurie Zimmer and am stating the obvious was a breath of fresh air for a Movie like Assault on Precinct 13 because she wasn't the damsel in distress she was strong and courageous and could take care of herself and the bad guys as well but another thing that struck me about her in that movie was how damn mysterious she was in it she had that aura about her that made her stand out (you got the sense that she had a bit of a dark past which possibly made her want to work in a police station) and a lot of people don't have that quality about them i am really baffled as to how many opportunities didn't come her way after Assault on Precinct 13 and why John Carpenter didn't cast her in any of his other movies afterwards she could have been one of the greats. Her performance in Assault on Precinct 13 is a reminder that she could have had a great career and what could have been but sometimes just one performance like that can make an impact and linger in the memory and it's on film forever and i guess that's how it was supposed to be and that is good enough.
@@trinihammer Yeah, the same thing happened with the dude that played Jake in Sixteen Candles, Michael Schoeffling. I guess the acting roles become few and far between. A regular job with a regular paycheck is much easier.
@@festeplatte4225 , French is a language that must be respected, as well as any other language. But French is not an international language anymore. Even Mandarin or Spanish are actually more important than French today. It is very normal to ask for English subtitles so that everybody can enjoy this film.
@@festeplatte4225 , naive??? hahahahaha, I already found subtitles in English. I just ask the uploader of this video cause it would be nice that in youtube people could enjoy it too. You should admit French language wont be important nevermore.
Laurie zimmer in 2003 and laurie zimmer in 1976 assault on precinct 13 looked identical she hadnt aged in 27 years she had to be at a guess 53 (apoligies if im wrong) and looked fantastic.
@@paulbirkbeck1790 Thanks. I'm doing my own Laurie tracking now. Since that Movie channel just aired "Assault..." this afternoon, Sept. 2023. I'm trying to locate a copy of this documentary I just discovered on her, that has English subtitles. That color footage of her driving a green Ford convertible was shot around Labor Day in 1977, for a French film done by the same lady film maker that was tracking her back in 2001, for this documentary. Best of luck to Laurie where ever she is now.
@@alanosterman7130 that footage of her in the green car is what confused me I thought it was current footage (2002) of Laurie and thought wow this lady still looks amazing 😂
@@paulbirkbeck1790 If you haven't made it to the end of the documentary, advance to the 47:00 minute mark, to listen to their phone call from 2001. Maybe a sequel is in order ?
