I think Fiji Joe might know.
I DO know that the tall, exotic-looking woman who was the fire-eater's assistant (and Brian's date) was Donyale Luna (not sure of the spelling), who was in Fellini's bizarre and wondrous Satyricon and, like Brian, died young and left an exquisite corpse. |

Fellini's Satyricon is one of my favourite films. People don't believe me but I play it and the hours pass like minutes. |

I believe you! It's also one of my favorites. Actually I love EVERYTHING by Fellini; besides Satyricon, I think 8 1/2 and Roma are excellent. Some of his later works (like City of Women, for example) are less amazing than these - but there's still no one making films today who could fill the shoes of Fellini.
Bravo Sasca! I also agree with your politics but like to keep my nose out of the muck whenever possible, so I steer clear of these "debates". |

The combination of Fellini and Petronius Arbiter is irresistable to me. What a man Petronius was. A complete libertine yet also a brilliant politician.
And what a way to die. Nero sends him an order to kill himself so he calmly slits his wrists, then binds them and eats, then unbinds them, binds them, has casual conversations, leaves a list of all Nero's lovers, unbinds them and dies, leaving Nero wandering how in Hades he found out. |

Why do you want to find these midgets? I certainly hope you don't have any intentions of tossing them or using them for dwarf bowling, for gods sake.

Just wondered. Dwarf bowling! As I said to my Dad in the bath this morning, 'Some people are into some weird shit.'
