Trivia: Born Barbara Nickerauer, character actress and former model BARBARA NICHOLS (1929-1976) always played the wise-cracking blonde with the nasal Brooklyn accent, the tart with repartee, unusual for her time as most blondes were portrayed as vacuous. Some of her films: 1954-River of No Return (with Marilyn Monroe); 1956-The King and Four Queens; 1957-The Pajama Game; 1960-The Scarface Mob; 1961-Where the Boys Are; 1964-The Disorderly Orderly (with Jerry Lewis); 1965-The Loved One (with Jonathan Winters); 1966-The Swinger; 1968-The Power; and 1976-Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood. Nichols had a memorable recurring role of Miss Chickadee on TV's Beverly Hillbillies.

Born in Michigan in 1939, truly huge (7' 2" tall) RICHARD KIEL, who plays the evil Dr. Kolos here, also appears briefly as a pinhead in 411-THE MAGIC SWORD; as the Solarite monster in 902-THE PHANTOM PLANET; and, of course, plays the title role in 506-EEGAH! He's perhaps most famous for playing the maniacal, orthodontically-challenged Jaws in the James Bond flicks The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979). His filmography also includes: 1962-House of the Damned; 1964-Roustabout; 1974-The Longest Yard; 1975-Flash & Firecat; 1976-Silver Streak; 1978-Force 10 from Navarone; Humanoid; They Went That-A-Way; 1981-So Fine; War of the Wizards; 1983-Hysterical; 1984-Cannonball Run II; Mad Mission 3; 1985-Pale Rider; 1990-Think Big; and 1996-Happy Gilmore (with Adam Sadler, ack!). Says Kiel, "My wife is 5' 4" and everybody asks me how we do it."
