SteveG(BBI) : You know what, let's start
Devin Kelly : sounds good
SteveG(BBI) : Barbara, if I may....How did you get involved with Dario Argento's Suspiria?
BarbaraM : I was in Spain vacationing and got called by my agent to meet Dario
SteveG(BBI) : Spain very nice!
Devin Kelly : Do you have a personal favorite giallo Barbara?

SteveG(BBI) : Yes, one of mine as well!
Devin Kelly : and Tony Musante, I like him...good actor
SteveG(BBI) : Hello Frankie
frankie : hello
Devin Kelly : Hey Frankie
evil d : lo frankie
BarbaraM : Absolutely!I think it was one of his first films
Devin Kelly : yes, 1970
SteveG(BBI) : Had you ever though about working under Dario before Suspiria?
SteveG(BBI) : wanted to for that matter?
BarbaraM : No but I loved it!!!
Devin Kelly : Do you think Dario is overrated more by North Americans than Italians?
frankie : overrated?
Devin Kelly : yes like do we make a bigger deal out of him?
frankie : appreciated
Devin Kelly : OK I'll go with that
Devin Kelly : Frankie's hooked on phonics tonight
BarbaraM : What do you mean by that Devin?
frankie : :)
Devin Kelly : I mean is he as big to you Italians as he is to us Americans and Candians
Devin Kelly : like is he as big a deal in Italy compared to what non-Italians make of him? We look at him as a horror God
BarbaraM : I think so definetely
Devin Kelly : I wondered because you guys have had more exposure to him
BarbaraM : To me he is like a kid in a plyground.
SteveG(BBI) : He seems like that in many interviews.
BarbaraM : He totally is in person and in his work too.
Devin Kelly : He's dedicated for sure, it's evident
frankie : would you like to work with him again?
SteveG(BBI) : How does he treat the actor in general?
SteveG(BBI) : sorry Frankie..
frankie : cattle?
frankie : all good
BarbaraM : I'd love too ,particularly because I feel that I am so much better now.
Devin Kelly : Barbara, before I ask a question, would you feel at all uncomfortable talking a little about Marc Porel's death?
SteveG(BBI) : I'd be nice to see you in another Argento film, with a large role as well.
SteveG(BBI) : larger
BarbaraM : I mean as an actess and a peron
BarbaraM : I actually think that is totally possible in the near future.
Devin Kelly : What are your memories of the late Marc Porel?
BarbaraM : you have to pardon my typos I run to open the door..
Devin Kelly : no problem
BarbaraM : Marc Porel was my husbund and it pained me to see him degrading himself
frankie : sorry to hear that. he was a great talent
Devin Kelly : How did it get to be that way for him?
BarbaraM : yes he was a great talent and a tormented person.
BarbaraM : it got to be that way because of drugs
Devin Kelly : Do you recall being notified of his death? It happened in Casablanca didn't it?
BarbaraM : Actually I was in bed one night and I got a message from him obviously out of his body .He came to tell me that he had passed away. I wasn't told till one week later .But I already knew!
frankie : wow, incredible story
SteveG(BBI) : Yes, indeed it is Barbara.....you and Marc must'ov had a great bonding.
BarbaraM : I had really incredible stuff happening when he died. Ghost is nothing compared!
BarbaraM : Yes , me and Marc had that type of bonding. It my standard on a relationship!
SteveG(BBI) : What was it like working alongside him during the production of Ursula's Sister?
BarbaraM : It was great ! Unfortunatly that particular movie turned out to be a sabotaging of our carreers.
Devin Kelly : I'm back again, was having problems...
frankie : that sucks :(
Devin Kelly : oh well
BarbaraM : Ok!
SteveG(BBI) : sorry to hear Barbara
frankie : so, how did the two of you meet?
BarbaraM : There are two other movies I shot with Marc which I loved!
Devin Kelly : What role of Marc Porel's would you recommend to all the fans?
SteveG(BBI) : Would Blazing Flowers be one of them?
BarbaraM : We met for diner in a posh Italian restaurant for a meeting my agent arranged.
BarbaraM : One thing at the time Please
Devin Kelly : sorry, my question was delayed by the chat
SteveG(BBI) : no, that was me Devin...sorry.
Devin Kelly : It's being slow on my end ofr some reason
Devin Kelly : no problem
BarbaraM : Una spirale di nebbia Luchino Visconti
BarbaraM : that is a Marc's role I recommend
Devin Kelly : thank you
Devin Kelly : I shall try and seek it out...Visconti did a lot of dramas didn't he?
frankie : i liked him in Uomini Si Nasce, Polizia Si Moirire and Colpo In Canna
BarbaraM : Yes, Steve Blazing Flowers would be one of them and the other would be Difficile Morire
SteveG(BBI) : ok thx barbara
frankie : i need to see that one!
Devin Kelly : yes BLAZING FLOWERS is a fairly rare film to find for collector's
BarbaraM : I liked Uomini si nasce Poliziotti si muore too
frankie : oops, spelled it wrong :) it is a great film tho !
frankie : okay, i have to ask
SteveG(BBI) : Yes, one of my favortie Deodato films.
Devin Kelly : In Sergio Martino's SUSPECTED DEATH OF A MINOR, what was it like working with Mel Ferrer? He's one of my favorites in Italian cult films.
frankie : in Uomini Si Nasce, were Ray Lovelock and Marc supposed to be lovers?
BarbaraM : Mel? I thought he was a great actor and a gentleman
Devin Kelly : he's been in a lot of films...always a welcome face
BarbaraM : I agree!
BarbaraM : What were you going toask Frankie?
SteveG(BBI) : What are your thoughts about working with Deodato's Inferno in diretta?
frankie : if in Uomini Si Nasce Marc and Ray Lovelock were supposed to be lovers. it's kinda hinted at...i thought maybe the Italian language version made it more clear
SteveG(BBI) : sorry put mine on hold.
BarbaraM : never heard about that !
frankie : :)
frankie : maybe i was reading a little too much into it
BarbaraM : Deodato is a gret friend and a professional ! I was excited to work with him and in the USA
BarbaraM : No problem Frankie
frankie : did he rub your earlobes?
BarbaraM : What do you mean?
frankie : well, on the DVD for Inferno In Diretta, Richard Lynch says that Deodato rubbed his earlobes while he was talking to him
BarbaraM : You trust gossip too much. Did you see him doing that?Or was hear say?
Devin Kelly : How did Marc become associated with the film DELITTO CARNALE? Have you ever met it's director Cesare Canevari? He did a very controversial Nazi exploitation film called GESTAPO'S LAST ORGY. Is Canevari as slimy as his films?
frankie : well, it was the actor who said it. maybe he was just kidding
BarbaraM : When Marc did that movie we were separated. I would have objected very much if I had known the nature of the movie and the director. I thing he is a degraded being.
Devin Kelly : It starred controversial stars of the time like Dirce Funari and Moana Pozzi
Devin Kelly : did you ever meet either of them by any chance?
BarbaraM : No , and I wouldn't be interested to either!
Devin Kelly : I appreciate your honest comments
BarbaraM : I don't think you could call these kind of degradation stars.
Devin Kelly : well they have a cult following believe it or not
frankie : i take it you're not a fan of Porno Holocaust huh Barbara? :)
Devin Kelly : I will call them actresses...you are a star Barbara! They weren't in classics like SUSPIRIA so I agree with you
SteveG(BBI) : Ok guys....let's stop there and take another route. One that has more to do with Barbara.
BarbaraM : Sure they do ! I believe that kind of pornography is a trap.
Devin Kelly : Is this your reason for your dislike of a film like URSULA'S SISTER?
Devin Kelly : for example, I wonder what type of person the director Enzo Milioni was?
BarbaraM : The reason I disliked that movie was because those scenes were added later without my consent and or knowledge. How would you feel about something like that?
frankie : i would be pissed!
Devin Kelly : It's unprofessional and wrong...I would probably sue the director
Devin Kelly : did you?
Devin Kelly : take legal action I mean?
BarbaraM : Exactely what I had in mind!
Devin Kelly : what was the outcome and what was Enzo Milioni's argument?
frankie : that sort of thing happened alot in the old days
BarbaraM : yes , particularly in Italy I think.In USA it is a lot more professional
SteveG(BBI) : Barbara what are you currently working on, or about to?
BarbaraM : To answer the other question on Enzo Milioni,I think his actions speak for themseves .He befriended me and stubbed me in the back.
Devin Kelly : well it shows how his career went downhill, he only did two films after
BarbaraM : currently I am working on a production of a film called GODS and I am planning a big return as an actress as well.
Devin Kelly : excellent!
BarbaraM : Thank you!
frankie : sounds interesting!
SteveG(BBI) : Please keep us updated here at CN, we would love to help you out in any promotions.
Devin Kelly : What do you think about the state of the Italian film industry compared to what it once was?
BarbaraM : I will for sure Steve .Thank you for being such a supporter!
