The actress, teacher, author, and model has starred in a handful of films and TV series. Anne Carlisle clearly wore many hats in the entertainment industry.
She is best known for writing and portraying both the lead female and male roles in the film Liquid Sky. In 1985, she also played the small role of “Victoria” in the Susan Seidelman film Desperately Seeking Susan. She played a memorable role as transvestite “Gwendoline” in Crocodile Dundee and starred in an episode of the TV series Miami Vice. Carlisle also adapted and wrote a novel version of her cult film Liquid Sky. Carlisle also posed for the famous Playboy Magazine in 1984.
Christine Totos
Totos is quite a mystery. Not very much is known about her, and she does not have a lot of acting credits. Needless to say, she played Rosita in Crocodile Dundee, but aside from that, she has just had small roles.
The actress is mainly known for The Young Wife, The Custodian, and The Cut. Her most recent acting credit was in a short film called Ralph, where she played a teacher. Although she is now known as Khristina Totos, she was credited for her role in Crocodile Dundee as Christine Totos. Why the name spelling change? We are not sure. It is just as much of a mystery as her career.
Anne Francine
Anne Francine is a cabaret singer and actress. She played the role of Fran in Crocodile Dundee. In addition, she played the Evil Queen in the live TV version of Snow White! Even still, most knew her due to her villainous role as Flora, in Harper Valley PTA.
In 1954, she made her Broadway debut with Shirley Booth in By the Beautiful Sea. She stepped in for the legendary Bea Arthur as Vera Charles in the 1966 Broadway production of Mame, starring Angela Lansbury. Incredibly enough, she and Lansbury reprised their roles in the 1983 Broadway revival. In 1987, she made her last appearance on Broadway as Mrs. Harcourt, in the revival of Anything Goes, starring Patti LuPone. Unfortunately, Fran was her last role, as she passed away in 1999.
Irving Metzman
Irving Metzman was actually born Douglas Kahn, but changed his name to "Irving Metzman", the name of his character in the second play he did. He had planned to change his name for each appearance to that of his character in the play before, but didn't follow through and has continued to be known as "Irving Metzman".
He is best known for his roles in WarGames, The Purple Rose of Cairo, and as Irving the doorman in Crocodile Dundee. Irving is also a published playwright. The play Irving wrote, entitled "Partners", was published and appeared in "Dramatics" Magazine in its March/April 1979 issue.
Nancy Mette
Most people probably don’t remember, but Nancy Mette played the role of Karla, a New York prostitute, in the film Crocodile Dundee. Since those days, she has maintained a very low key Hollywood career, gaining a mere 19 acting credits.
She’s had roles in projects such as Meet the Hollowheads and Terms of Endearment. She may never have become a star, but Nancy Mette had found a unique niche in movies playing small but demanding roles. If a director needed to fill a minor role calling for a difficult line or a quirky delivery, he could always pick up the telephone and ask whether Mette was available. Her last role was as a guest star on Monk. She has been married to Hollywood director Barnet Kellman since 1982.
