BTM UNCUT: A Moment with “BLADE RUNNER” Actress JOANNA CASSIDY

At the recent 25th Anniversary reunion event in Beverly Hills to celebrate the Blu-ray release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beyond the Marquee had the opportunity to chat with cast, crew and special guests attending that night’s festivities. Actress Joanna Cassidy, who played Dolores, the love interest to Detective Eddie Valiant (played by Bob Hoskins) was on hand to reminisce about her experiences on-set and memories from that 1988 film.

Fans of the 1982 Ridley Scott sci-fi drama Blade Runner may also remember Joanna from that film as “Zhora the Snake Dancer” (who was actually a genetically engineered organic robot called a replicant), that met her demise thanks to future cop “Richard Deckard” (Harrison Ford).

During our interview Joanna revealed that although a scene for her Snake Dancer character was never shot for the film, she recently made her own video that might give us an idea of what the scene may have looked like. The clip of Ms. Cassidy discussing this was too long to include in our web-series segment, so we wanted to share it with you now. Enjoy.
