Dina Meyer first came to my attention 2 years ago in the movie
JOHNNY MNEMONIC, which I didn't feel was as bad as everyone says it was. Anyway, she really did a lot for this movie the way that
she brought her character, Jane (the cyber enhanced bodyguard), to life. Then last summer she gave extra life to an already good movie, Dragonheart. In this movie, her second feature film as far as I know, she didn't let herself be intimidated by the special effects, or working with the likes of Sean Connery and Dennis Quaid. Not only did she not let them intimidate her, but I think that she did the best acting out of all of them, which is no small achievement. She followed Dragonheart with a short stint on TV's Friends (the best comedy on TV) playing Kate, Joey's new love interest. Though her scenes were short in these episodes, she, of course, did an excellent acting job, and she had good chemistry with costar Matt LeBlanc This fall she can be seen in the science fiction film Starship Troopers, directed by Paul Verhoven (Robocop). She plays Dizzy Flores in the movie, which could be bad since Dizzy died in the first few pages of the book (good book by the way). Hopefully we will see this wonderful actress in more soon.
Well, I just watched JOHNNY MNEMONIC for the first time since I saw it opening day at the theatres. I still don't believe it is as bad as everyone says it is, but I realized how little Dina was given to do in the movie. Her job consisted mainly of looking good (Which she did an excellent [understatement] job of) and kicking butt. This may have not been much, but she did it with such flair that she still did the most for this movie (though Reeves did a good job during his explosive rant outside of Heaven).

About Sequels
I don't know if any of you out there pay as much
attention to movies as I do, but here is some info for you.
William Gibson, the author of JOHNNY MNEMONIC is
supposably scripting NEUROMANCER, based on his
first full novel. I have read the book, it IS a sequel to
JOHNNY MNEMONIC. Johnny is not in the sequel, but
Jane is (under a different name). Hopefully Dina will be asked
to return to the role if this movie goes into development.
New STARSHIP TROOPER information
Look for STARSHIP TROOPERS on video soon
2-10-98 The movie has been out for for a while now
and so has the script, so here
is the copy of the script that I was sent. It is divided
into 6 parts and all 6 are zipped together.
8-22-97 I finally found out Dina's
role in this movie. As is well known
she is playing Dizzy Flores (who
was a male in the book), and from
what I have read in the new issue of
STARLOG, Dina's sole purpose in the
movie is to try to get the main
character, Johnny Rico, to sleep with
her. Though Dina's role sounds as
though it may disappoint her fans,
the movie itself (which will more
than likely disappoint fans of the
book) looks like one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
10-03-97 I was sent the STARSHIP TROOPERS
script last week (thanks again).
This may or may not be the actualy script,
but I read it anyway, and based on pictures
and scenes that I have seen, I believe
the script to be genuine. I won't
post the script or give too much away,
but Dina does play an important role
in the movie as far as motivating
the hero is concerned.

Autograph Info:
I supplied eight stamps with the letter I sent to her.
The address is listed bellow. I sent eight stamps because
she supplied the picture and the return envelope. She
used two stamps to return the picture and kept six of
them. It took about three weeks to get the picture from
her. But, it was worth the wait. She is not into Science
Fiction and does not go to shows to sign.

Coming Soon (I hope): Between now and January I hope to add
some STARSHIP TROOPERS pics ( I won't have access to a scanner
for a few more weeks). I am also about 2 weeks behind on the
survey due to an unexpected (but cool) increase in traffic for
this site. Thanks for stopping by.
