TV movie. This role led to O'Connor's being considered for the part of Gabrielle. It is somewhat curious that this series used the Roman name for the main character, rather than the Greek (Heracles).
Hercules is provoked into fighting Gargan, a giant with whom he had no quarrel, and defeats him easily. Then a dying messenger begs him to come end Hera's rule of terror in the "lost city of Troy", which Zeus, tells him can only be found with a magical compass which was last seen in the possession of Queen Omphale. In the process of searching for the Queen, he frees Deianeira, who is about to be sacrificed (willingly) to the river god to end a drought. Hercules defeats the 48 sons of the gate guardian and arranges to be sold at the annual slave market to the Queen, who wants to sleep with him. It is not clear if he does that, but he gets the compass from Omphale. He and Deianeira get swallowed by a sea monster that ends up coughing them up near Troy. They find her father, the dying king of Troy, and prepare an army of Trojans to reconquer the city. Hera's soldiers, whose leader wants to sacrifice Deianeira (just natural sacrifice material I guess), are defeated.
In the subsequent film HERCULES AND THE CIRCLE OF FIRE, Deianeira was played by Tawney Kitaen and was unrelated to the Deianeira played by O'Connor in the previous film. It must have been a very common Greek name. The character Phaedra (Stephanie Barrett) was offered to Anna Paquin (it was the year after THE PIANO) but she turned it down.
Elizabeth Hawthorne (Queen Omphale) would later be Alcmene in 6 episodes of HERCLUES THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS. She was a news reporter in the Xena episode "Send In the Clones".
Darkman has perfected his synthetic skin, and is horrified to learn that his nemesis, Robert G. Durant, is alive, and that has constructed a laser weapon. Using disguises and great physical strength, Darkman defeats Durant.
Pulp fiction. At least this time she gets to be the sister of the main character. Has only a few lines. An OK sequel to Darkman. Kim Delaney is in this one. Larry Drake (Durant) was Benny Stulwicz in LA LAW. Went directly to video. Not released in theaters.
Investigation focuses on the brutal murder of a wealthy family (as a relative of the victims, ROC gets to be interviewed by Sipowitz). Lastarza orders Janice to cooperate with the mob resulting in a death. Kelly works on his relationship with Janice as she tries to keep him out of her current situation. Sipowicz takes a statement from a gay writer whose Academy Award was stolen.
A flash flood on the Guadalupe river on 17 July 1987 near Comfort, Texas swept a bus from a nearby road. Forty-three students returning from bible camp were on the bus at the time. Ten of them drowned, the rest were rescued mostly from treetops. On April 18, 1989, the story was aired as part of the pilot episode of Rescue 911 and it was later made into this film.
Joe Spano of Hill Street Blues starred in this one. Holly Brisley was the Training Video Woman in the film SCOOBY-DOO (2002).
Disney flick with Anne Heche. Not a terrific interpretation of Huck. ROC plays one of a pair of sisters and I do not think she has a spoken line (the other sister does). The film employed no digital effects and no sound stages were used in the production. Tom Sawyer was not used in this film either, which will be something of a surprise for people who have read the book.
Sergeant Stewart (Robert Conrad) investigates three macabre murders, making use of a psychic in the investigation. Based on actual events in an unspecified Texas town. Michael Cavanaugh (Pete Hall) was Captain Robert DeSoto in the STTNG episode "Tin Man".
This is truly a dreadful film. O'Connor appears for about 20 seconds, sleeping.
This hour-long ABC TV series with Amy Hathaway and Eric Balfour was a parody of "Cops", and was a sitcom without a laugh track. It lasted only 4 episodes (the fifth episode was never aired). Unable to find any more information.
episode title: Blue Fiber Pt.1 & Pt.2 - Ofc. Renee Lanot
Officer Lano goes undercover as a hooker to catch a serial killer. O'Connor wore brown contact lenses for this episode.
episode title: Millionaire Murderer - Tina Marie Risico
The millionaire referenced in the title would be Christopher Wilder. amd Risico was a victim who was allowed to escape.
Host was Pernell Roberts. I can't find these episodes (or the series) anywhere. Ausxip has some stills and clips.
Joe Huff is angry at the system for handling criminals with kid gloves. Joe is a cop on suspension, but the FBI asks him to go undercover in Mississippi and infiltrate a white supremacist biker gang that runs drugs. Starred Brian Bosworth, Lance Henrikson, William Forsythe, and Arabella Holzbog. Directed by Craig R. Baxley (who as an actor was Mr. R.I.N.G. in 4 episodes of KOLCHAK, THE NIGHT STALKER in 1975).
O'Connor's character is called Tinselteeth presumably because she wears braces, although there is no visual indication that she does. Tinselteeth appears only in the first few minutes of the film.
TV news anchor Melanie Adams falls in love with heart surgeon Peter Hallam. They get married. Each has children from previous marriages (but not as many as the Bradys). One of the boys gets one of the girls pregnant (not ROC). Main focus of Ladd's character seems to be to get her new husband (Michael Nouri) to take down that painting in the living room. Christy Clark (Valerie Adams) played Carrie Brady on DAYS OF OUR LIVES.
Starred Cheryl Ladd. O'Connor plays he quiet younger sister again. Plot is soap-opera-ish. Not having to recite too much of the dialogue written by Ms. Steel must have been a mercy.
Very bad teen-oriented thing. Teenager wants to be more independent. Mom doesn't want her to. Robin Lively (Melissa Harmon) was Angela Schiff in the X-Files episode "Field Trip". Ernie Lively (Jack Harmon) was Sherriff Teller in the X-Files episode "D.P.O.". Jeanne Mori (Mrs. Tanka) was an Enterprise helmsman in Star Trek III The Search for Spock. Arlene Taylor (Jeri) was Monica Creel in Sworn to Vengeance (see 1993). Below is clip with ROC in it(the full extent of her role).
O'Connor was a contestant. AUSXIP has video and screencaptures.
Everything prior to 1991, with the exception of Tales From the Crypt,
is available only on VHS as far as I can tell.
episode title: The Switch (Season Two Episode Two- ROC scenes deleted)
Directed by Arnold Swartzenegger - Waitress
O'Connor's scenes were entirely removed.
Bujold plays Rachel, a radio personality who discovers a Purple Heart at a garage sale. Traking its history, she discovers that it belonged to Harlan Errickson(Stacey Keach), the long-lost brother of a prominent local man, who does not seem that hard to find. ROC plays Errickson's daughter.
Veronika Cartwright (Vera Errickson) was Cassandra Spender in the X-Files. Todd Jeffries (Chad) was Agent Mayfield in the X-Files episode "Roadrunners". Pat Crawford (Nellie) was Mrs. Meeker in Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. This film could have been better but it's not a total waste of time.
Components are: a serial killer, Houston Astro's baseball (fictionalized), and heavy borrowing from some film I've seen somewhere but I don't quite know which. The killer only kills on nights when one of Houston's pitchers wins.
Another Disney TV thing. Can't locate a copy
With lots of screen time, ROC gets to ride a horse, and get tied up (not at the same time). Cocaine movie set in Texas.
Totally unrelated note: 1989 also saw the release of a hardcore porn film titled "Snow Black and the Seven Wienies" starring Alex Storm and Penny Lane.
Co-starring Brian Krause. There was another Teen Angel series about 8 years later. Do not confuse the later series with this one. The 1989 series is completely unavailable as far as I can tell.
Just as the title specifies. Made for Randall's Food Market, a chain of 116 supermarkets in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas. Here it is:
