Trust Fund Pirates - Hot background extra

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! First post here; longtime Vice fan.

 

The episode Trust Fund Pirates is one of several episode favorites and there is a really attractive extra in the scenes onboard the smuggling boat "Mas o Menos." She is the one on the left in the aqua-colored bikini. I have attached to this post a few screen caps from this scene. She was HOT, no doubt about it! 

 

I recall a conversation with a guy I met many years ago in Miami who claimed to have been part of the production team during the MV series. I was discussing some of my favorite episodes and when the episode Trust Fund Pirates came up, I mentioned the two hot girls that were in the background of that scene. This guy claimed to have been part of the crew on that particular shot and said that the woman on the left in that scene was an adult model who went by the names "Paula Ann Wood" or "Isabelle Duncan."

 

I recall saying to him that would be unlikely as the PR backlash for casting an adult model on prime time TV would have drawn some controversy, especially back in the 80's. Does anyone know if this is true? I looked at the cast credits and the actresses who appeared in this scene seem to be uncredited so I cannot confirm this.

Adult model...or porn star? Not sure what an adult model is, unless that means she was a sexy lingerie model or something.

 

Yes, she was totally fine in MIAMI VICE. I've not heard her name before. But then again....I never bothered to watch credits to those type of films. ;)  :)  

 

A quick check on the internet does show a nude woman with the names you provided. I'm guessing it's her. I'm not going to post the link for obvious reasons. It's simple to look up. I may have to return to that website to do further research on the subject.....  ;)

 

Interestingly, I know a woman named Isabelle Duncan, but she suuuuuurrre does't look like THAT!   

 

Thanks for the interesting tidbit!

No need to get viruses anyone :D  :D

 

While I did do a quick Google Image search and tried to compare the screenshots with what I found online, I think I was given some BS (and then some) from the alleged "crew member" of the original series. Much of what I was told during my conversation with the guy I later found to be incorrect through my own research.

 

But the question always remained:  who is/was that smoking' hot gal??  :fireworks:

 

Apparently the name he gave me that I posted earlier was a Penthouse Pet sometime back in 1984. I would think it highly unlikely that a Penthouse, or Playboy model would even be on an episode of Vice, simply due to the potential media controversy.

Maybe she had another name or her real name  that she used for MV??!!  Everyone wanted to be a guest star and maybe she asked and they said no as a porn star, but then she said she would use this name instead and since no real credit was given or it just slid by till you brought it up and busted her out....;)

You're right, pornstars almost always use an alias. Never their real name, unless they star in something legitimate like Miami Vics, perhaps.

I don't think anybody would have noticed or cared anyway. Playmates and pornstars have gone on to act in the past, and the future. As long as they keep their clothes on...

James,

 

You're right. In the episode "Viking Bikers from Hell" the character "Toad" was played by former minor porn star Sonny Landham. So there is a precedent and this guy may actually have been telling me the truth. 

 

A former college classmate of my wife is in acting and has done many extra roles, mostly uncredited. He told us when scenes are shot there's a paper called a "call sheet" that lists everything and everyone who's in that particular shot. If there's a call sheet in someone's collection for "Trust Fund Pirates" maybe that can confirm?

if it's a call sheet, Coop may have it. He seems to have everything, like he's secretly an NBC Universal employee. :)

Texasvicefan, saddly, not everyone's name who is in a particular shot is listed. Extras names are not usually listed, unless perhaps, they have a speaking part. If they have a speaking part, the chances are higher. For instance, MANNY, Izzy's side kick, is only listed as "Assistant". The actor / extra who was in several episodes did not have a speaking part, and his name is not listed on call sheets.

 

Texasvicefan, did she have a speaking part?

No, neither of the girls on the boat had any lines. Curves and tan "lines", but no spoken part  :p
