whoops! one more question,
As I PM'd you before, I think Supergirl is a terrific cinematic achievment for all it's effects, the soaring musical score by the wonderful Jerry Goldsmith, and great actors that all partook. I was wondering what your thoughts were on this film? I think it is in par with Superman I and II because even thought it went in it's own direction, as it rightly should have, it maintained a vulnerable Superhero feel to it and even mentioned your character in the phantom zone scene: When Zalter (Peter OToole) states "The Criminals that corrupt evil, they're over the hill, with no way out."
I ask simply because it is not known what Superman actors think of this film, and as an all around fan I think it would be interesting!
Care to share your thoughts, if any?

Jerry Goldsmith was a good friend and such a talent it is a great loss his passing.Peter is a friend as well and Peter is Peter in everything he does.I thought the film was good but badly distributed which was unfortunate.

Thats so cool that you still talk to Sarah Douglas, as your chemistry was dead on.
it's also cool that you like supergirl. it was poorly distributed-yes, but it had such heart and soul!

I am pretty flexable on films.I look for script content,director and casting.Probably won't se Divinci Code until it comes to DVD because I didn't think Tom was a good choice casting I worked with him and this just wasn't his type of film sad really for it was a great book.

Hello,
First I just wanted to say that I saw you at WonderCon in San Francisco earlier this year, but I was feeling a bit shy, and didn't go over to say "hi" or anything. Plus, I had no money, so I couldn't get an autograph.
Anyway, I wanted to know your thoughts on Richard Donner's version of 'Superman II', coming out in November. -

Have you been given any idea what date in November the dvds' will be released?
Also, you may have been asked this before, so im sorry if Im making you repeat yourself, but what was Richard Lester like to work with after Richard Donner was sacked? Was he mindful off the cast and crews feelings towards this and did everyone like him?
"Easy Miss, I've got you"
"You've got me? Who's got you" -

Richard Lester was a shadow of Richard Donner.What was done to Donner was so wrong many of us almost walked off the picture.Lester was never respected by anyone.
I know we are going to a screening of Donner's cut Oct 16th I haven't heard the date for releasing the 14 disk pack as yet. -

Mr. O'Halloran, just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of your work in the Superman films, I grew up with them and just viewed Superman II again the other day. Your chemistry with Terence Stamp and Sarah Douglas as the Krypton villians was something to see. I remember thinking as a kid how crazy and cool you guys looked with your outfits and personas, you really made those roles your own. You cracked me up as Non, but were also pretty freaky. Anyway, I'd love to meet you and the other two.

Hi Mr. O'Halloran,
It is no secret that Donner is not involved with the project of his S2, and has tole interviewers he will not partake in anything to do with it. At least I understood it that way.
What I was wondering was, is there a way you can talk to him about it? I mean, he DOES know how respected by ALL fans of ALL the Superman films?
Thanks!

I think the thread about living next to you in an apartment is a quote from Dragnet. http://imdb.com/board/20641172/board/nest/33717151
