Michelle Randell, I have been to this page before, hoping to see some mention of you. My mum was administrator of the WA Ballet co. while you were there and, if memory serves me correctly, I believe we both competed in the Miss West Aust. contest at the same time.

I played Alice in Wonderland in the Australian production of Disney on Parade in the 1970’s, and was in the television production which appeared on American television. I enjoyed playing the role very much, and have fond memories of the cast and crew. I live in Perth, Western Australia with my husband Joe Romanoski (from Chicago, USA). We still continue our dancing.

My parents took me to see Disney on Parade. Before the show began a man approached my father and asked if his son [me] would sit on Kurt Russell’s knee during intermission while a TV commercial was filmed for the special that was being produced for American TV. I was about 10 at the time and I think Kurt prob about 17 or 18 and he smelt good. I sat on his knee smiled at the camera and waved at the camera and the imagined US TV audience. When I have recounted this story, people have thought me bonkers. It was great to find this site. If anyone knows how to source the special or ad I would love to know.

Is it possible to get a copy of this video? Or even, would you upload it to youtube? My mother was a dancer in it and I would absolutely love to see her perform.
