Trina Parks

Trina Parks (born Trina Frazier; 26 December 1946 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA) is an American actress, vocalist, choreographer, principal dancer and dance instructor. She is best known for her rather iconic role of Thumper in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever (1971).

Trina signed the photo below when she appeared at Covcon in Coventry on 7 May 2022. I used the convention's pre-order service to purchase her autograph.

Laura Summer

Laura Summer (born 5 November 1965 in New York City, New York, USA) is an American actress. voice actress and producer. Her credits include the voice of Janine Melnitz in the cartoon television series The Real Ghostbusters (1986-87), a small part ('receptionis') in the comedy She's Out of Control (1989) and the role of Judy in the slasher flick Girls Nite Out (1982).

I met Laura at Ecto-Con Glasgow, a convention dedicated solely to Ghostbusters, on 7th May 2022. She signed an 8x10 from The Real Ghostbusters for me. She also had a region 1 dvd of She's Out of Control, a film that was not released on dvd in region 2. It received terrible reviews when it was first released in theatres but I have fond memories of watching it as a teenager.
