Thank you to Judith O’Dea who played Barbara in George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead for coming on my show for an interview! Judith talked about getting a call to audition for the role of Barbara less than a year after moving out to California from Pittsburgh, how her fear of Vincent Price in House of Wax 1953 prepared her for her performance in Night of the Living Dead, and the barriers that the film broke with casting the first black actor as the lead in a horror film, Duane Jones. She discussed how the time period that the film was shot in relates to the political tensions that are escalating today, learning a lot from George A. Romero on set, and getting worked up for her ad-lib scene where her character recalls what happened at the cemetery. She also got into the story of the prop of the corpse at the top of the stairs in the film, going to the premiere, and stories from being on set with the other cast members. Judith also spoke about her short story that she wants to see made into a film called The Old Woman and the Alien and Night of the Living Dead’s upcoming 55th anniversary next year.
Judith O’Dea’s short story The Old Woman and the Alien is available on her website O’Dea Communications: http://www.odeacommunications.com/2017/book.html.
