SEEING the ‘Movie Extra’ in Rewind last Monday, (Viewpoints, January 28), brought back a funny memory.

My dentist in those days was in High Street, and I always tried to park in Oriel Square. One afternoon, I drove up Merton Street to get to Oriel Square, and became an unwanted extra in the filming of Heaven’s Gate.

To the director’s annoyance, there I was in my Morris Marina Estate in the middle of a period drama.

With the director shouting “what’s that b***** woman doing here?”, I made a very quick, three-point turn to get away as quickly as I could. I did have a laugh with my husband about my interesting afternoon.
