MARY BOYLAN and BOB DAHDAH, who appeared in more Cino plays than anyone else from 1958 on, also appeared as extras in so many movies they were recognized on the streets.

FREDRIC FORREST (Lanford Wilson’s “The Madness of Lady Bright” and “This Is the Rill Speaking”), seen here with MARI-CLAIRE CHARBA on the set of “Futz,” was nominated for many film awards and won the National Society of Film Critics Award for “Apocalypse Now.” Photo: ACTORS ARCHIVE, courtesy Marilyn Roberts.

BERNADETTE PETERS (“Dames at Sea”) won Cable Ace, Golden Globe, and Hasty Pudding Awards, plus nominations for Daytime Emmys, Emmys, and Golden Satellites (besides seven Tony noms and two wins).

CYNTHIA HARRIS (Sam Shepard’s “Icarus’ Mother”) notably played the Duchess of Windsor on TV (above with Edward Fox as the Duke), and was nominated for BAFTA and Screen Actors’ Guild Awards.

PETER RATRAY (“Aria da Capo,” “Tea and Sympathy”) is a veteran of 22 movie and TV assignments. Here he is the conservative gay rights activist in “Stonewall.”

HAAL BORSKE (“The Brown Crown,” “The Warhol Machine,” “Wonder Woman,” “Henry/Henrietta”) became a famous cult star in ANDY MILLIGAN’s movies (above in “House of the Seven Belles” with HOPE STANSBURY’s back), and toured the world lecturing about them.

MARY WORONOV (“Vinyl,” “Lights, Camera, Action”), gentle and intellectual, somehow became moviedom’s favorite sadistic dyke during 111 movies, TV shows, and series, nomimated for sci-fi and Independent Spirit Awards and winning at the Silver Lake Film Fest.

Playwright SAM SHEPARD (above left with Patti Smith and right with Jessica Lange) became a movie star, nominated for an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe, and winning the Lone Star TV Acting Award.

JACQUE LYNN COLTON (“Moon,” “This Is the Rill Speaking,” “Eyen on Eyen,” “Christmas Carol”), seen here in TOM O’HORGAN’s film of Elsa Gress’ “Boxiganga,” has done over thirty-six movies and TV shows. Photo: ACTORS ARCHIVE, courtesy Matilyn Roberts.

SHIRLEY STOLER (“Talk to Me about the Rain”) graced 34 films and TV shows, leaving an indelible imprint in “Klute” and “Seven Beauties.”

JOE DAVIES (Far too many Cino plays and revues to list, especially in the sparsely-documented early days) was a familiar extra in film after film after film, and at last played the title role in “Johnny Appleseed:and the Frontier Within,” – with Lillian Gish, with whom, alas, he had no scenes!

AL PACINO debuted at the Cino in 1961 as a prisoner in William Saroyan’s “Hello, Out There.” Whatever happened to him?

FRED WILLARD (“If Men Played Cards As Women Do”) in 1980’s “How To Beat the Hiigh Co$t of Living.”"

Hey, even I made it into the movies. That’s Quentin Crisp, painter Patrick Angus, and me in Jonathan Nossiter’s 1989 documentary, “Resident Alien.”

“All of Me” (1984) Steve Martin, possessed by the spirit of Lily Tomlin, cries, “I’m not sharing my body with anyone!” Passing hardhat BOB SHIELDS comments, “Everybody’s gonna be real disappointed.”
