Note that Jim Henson (whom you hear talking over certain scenes) refers to her as "Cheryl". Her full name is Cheryl Gates McFadden, and to distinguish between her choreography and acting work, she is usually credited as Cheryl for the former and Gates for the latter.
i like how she is smiling at him... i guess she has/had a huge crush on him. I mean.. who wouldnt? Even i had a crush on him and he was always much much older than me. But he had this unique look.. oh gosh.. i loved his eyes and his nose.. i loved his nose.. well i loved anything about his look and his character.. :) such a pity i couldnt meet him before his death. :(
Movies back then must have been so much more fun to film, especially when you're the actress cause everything was actually there in the moment it was filmed, today the entire movie would be special effects, all the characters and backgrounds were actually there back then.
I absolutly LOVE Gates McFadden!! She's one of my all time favorite actresses, and she's so nice to her fans, too. I met her a couple of years ago at a convention, and she was such a sweetheart! She took the time to talk to me and get to know me, and let me take the time to ask her some questions I'd been dying to ask. She's such an awesome woman, and I hope I can go to the next Star Trek Convention so I can talk with again! (And Brent Spiner, because he's awesome, too!) :)
I too had the Crusher crush. I loved Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher on TNG. She made quite the impression on my young mind; not only for her looks, but the way she expertly portrayed Crusher as an attractive, yet professional medical officer. She had way too little screen time in the TNG Movies.
Wow I'm really impressed with Gates McFadden for this choreography work, had no idea she had worked with Jaques Lecoq in physical theater. Just finished Star Trek TNG and this makes the great sassy Dr Beverly Crusher even better. Also her calling out sexist shit makes her so awesome.
I was a big fan of ST:TNG and of Gates McFadden in particular. I think I knew once that she had something to do with the film Labyrinth, but if I did I completely forgot about it. It's so funny because I just rewatched Labyrinth the other day for NO reason and then I stumbled on this today. :)
Actually,the movie itself was released in 1986,but principal filming took place the year before that,in 1985.I remember reading that filming started in October of '85,and since Jennifer's birthday is in December,she would have still been 14 when filming began. And she was 15,when the film was released in June of '86,and turned 16 that December. :-)
I really like the ballroom scene and ending. I wish that she would have said that she will have her dream, but loosing her baby brother is not good. Would any of you people agree?😃😜
You know I must've watched this movie I don't know how many times and I absolutely did not know that Gates McFadden ( Dr. Beverly Crusher, Star Trek TNG) choreographed the dance scenes for Labyrinth! That's really wild! (You can't tell me this world ain't small!!)
@fodxp Ack! That always bothered me too! She was my favourite character, yet in the movies she's relegated to being an extra while we get ANOTHER Data-wants-to-be-a-real-boy storyline.
@seanbateman2010 The scene where data smiles while dancing is also on the Star trek: The Next Generation screensaver , by Berkeley systems.... its great times
I LOVE DAVID BOWIE !!!!!! WTG Cheryl.... and I loved Dr. Crusher too.... but it's confusing when you use Cheryl one time and Gates another - you are multi-talented - so why not just use Cheryl Gates McFadden for all of it?????
Gates is so talented, was a shame she wasn't on season 2 of next gen but if she hadn't have had the time she wouldn't have worked on labyrinth which is awesome so it worked out!
I don't think that is the case. No-one mistakes Dinklage, Davis or Barty or Troyer with each other. But though I do not see the resemblance to Dinklage in this case, there is plenty of other non-dwarf actors where people also see a resemblance that I do not.
