@ Russ...Ok bear with me here, things went kinda pear-shaped...in the movie Best In Show, which is a comedy revolving around the dog show world that came out in I think the early 1990s...there is of course a big climatic dog show scene. In it the main judge is a larger woman in a black skirt suit if I recall correctly.
Anyhoo that woman wasn't some extra or actor being paid scale. She IS a real world, internationally-recognized dog show judge who does travel everywhere...and I know this cause one of the first people who befriended me on the photo site on which I compete, and with whom I went on a photo expedition with some 8 years ago (sadly he has since left the site so I can't send you a linky to his profile)...is her brother!!! And the resemblance between the two is so strong that there is no way it could be otherwise.
I don't know her professional name, whether she goes by the surname Morgan or not, but his surname was Morgan. Paul, I think, I have to go through some 90 pages of PMs to verify it.
So it's one of those 6 degree of separation thingies, I guess two? One and a half? in this instance :-)
