Fox 26 KRIV contributor's movie ties

Bob Martin aka The Accountant to the Stars has been instrumental in helping me research Houston TV news anchors that have appeared in movies.

But even he has some Hollywood ties:

Mike - My mother (Louise Martin) is the actress playing the part of the
ticket clerk in the final scene of Scarecrow (1972) with Gene Hackman in the
attached video clip. We lived in Detroit in 1972 and the scene was filmed at
the Greyhound Bus Depot in Detroit. She was a stage actress all of her life
and she did a lot of industrial films and TV and radio commercials. Her
agent called her for the cattle call they liked her and she got the part.
She used to travel to New York quite a bit for auditions and she also landed
a very small part in the Woody Allen film Annie Hall (1977).
