(aka Deborah Gibson)
Birthday girl in Tavern on the Green in GB1 (uncredited)
Ghostbusters (1984)
Debbie's the girl with the pink bow in her hair, celebrating her birthday at the Tavern on the Green. I first found out about her appearance in the film from an article specifically about it (I believe it was entitled, "Debbie Gibson, Ghostbuster") in a teen magazine in the early 1990s (I wish I remembered which one it was and kept the article). The article even had quotes from Debbie about how she got into the film, and specifically mentions her having a pink bow in her hair. If it weren't for this article, I never would have known that she was in the film because you never get a really good look at her face. The images below come from the Ghostbusters Blu-ray which, thanks to its high resolution, allows us to finally see Debbie as best as possible. It would have been ever better if all of the damn waiters weren't blocking our view of her. The waiters didn't block the girl sitting by the window.

One of the suspects is overseeing an animated version of the comic book, and it is here that Frank Welker is seen providing voices for that project.

With the Planeteers trying to clean up Hollywood's act, a series of strange accidents occur, and the #1 suspect is none other than movie star Bambi Blight, Dr. Blight's younger sister! The writer of the episode worked in several inside jokes. In the video below, the Planeteers are astonished to learn that the monkey in the movie will be given a human speaking voice. The person seen providing that speaking voice is a caricature of Frank Welker, who does the monkey sounds for Suchi.

Male Terror Dog in GB1 (uncredited)
I want to put in a little note to explain this. Harrison Ray is listed in the IMDB as having been the uncredited Male Terror Dog (Vinz Clortho) in Ghostbusters. I wrote to him about it, and he told me that he was inside the full-size puppet, while his now ex-wife was inside the female Terror Dog (Zuul). That said, I can find no mention of him in any Ghostbusters behind-the-scenes materials, and he's not listed in the end credits of the film itself (not surprising since a lot of crew members aren't listed, including all of the stuntpeople). Since, in all likelihood, Harrison added that entry to his IMDB page, I'm essentially taking him at his word that he was inside the male Terror Dog puppet (and the same for his now ex-wife). I really would like to find some concrete proof of him and her operating the full size puppets.

The New Adventures Of Captain Planet: "Hollywaste" (September 17, 1994, Season 5)
The Planeteers go to Hollywood to consult on an environmental thriller based on themselves, and find out that big-budgets can lead to big waste. With the Planeteers trying to clean up Hollywood's act, a series of strange accidents occur, and the #1 suspect is none other than movie star Bambi Blight, Dr. Blight's younger sister! The writer of the episode worked in several inside jokes. When Dr. Blight tries to sabotage the film, she takes her sister Bambi's place, badly voicing her role of Zinka. Noticing the poor quality of the voice, the film director and producer suggest they should get Kath Soucie to dub her voice over in post production. Linka, also viewing the bad performance, agrees they should indeed get "that Soucie person". Kath Soucie, of course, provides the voice of Linka in the series, as well as Bambi Blight in this episode.

Ghostbusters (1984)
To find Ron in the film, go to DVD time code 1:08:16, just after Peck has had the containment unit shut off. Standing around outside, Janine quips "it's a sign alright - going out of business". The film cuts away to Ray and Winston pulling up behind a police barricade and crowd, and there, on the left, is Ron, trademark moustache and all. Sadly you can't see him in full-screen versions, but with the DVD, you can clearly spot the man, circa 1984. (Click on the image below for the super large screen capture. Text and small screen capture done by Chris Stewart. Super large screen capture done by me, Paul Rudoff, from the Ghostbusters Blu-ray.)

Unknown Source [Audio Only] (June 1989)
This is a five minute-long June 1989 TV interview she did to promote Ghostbusters II. I recorded this with an audio tape recorder placed near the television speaker, so the audio isn't the greatest, but it's clear enough to enjoy. I don't know what television program this is from. It doesn't sound like Entertainment Tonight, but it was probably a show similar to that. My family didn't get our first VCR until the end of 1989, so audiotape was the only way we could record television programs and movies before that.
