Kathleen Wilhoite, Ed Egerdahl, and a Surprise Guest!
We have some more fun celebrity news for you! First up, actress Kathleen Wilhoite will be joining us this year. Kathleen played the character of Gwen Morton, Lucy Moran's chatty older sister. A familiar face on both large screen and small, Kathleen has played recurring characters on such shows as ER, Gilmore Girls, and was the voice of cartoon favorite Pepper Ann. She's also a musician and songwriter, with two albums under her belt.
Also, get ready to quote your favorite Norwegian translations, because we will be joined this year by Ed Egerdahl, whom we all know and love as the Norwegian translator in the Twin Peaks pilot episode. A local Washingtonian, Ed will be joining us for both film night and the celebrity banquet! Just remember...helso industry dey go hond e hond!
Finally, we have a surprise guest joining us for the festival. You won't know where or when this person will show up, but we definitely think you'll be pleased. Aren't you glad you bought a ticket?!
