MICHELLE PFEIFFER IN FANTASY ISLAND: my heretical theory! My question could appear pointless, but I'm a faithful admirer of Michelle Pfeiffer since the (More) My question could appear pointless, but I'm a faithful admirer of Michelle Pfeiffer since the early '80s and for Pfeiffer pfanatics like me this is a kind of "dogma" that started everything. Every Pfan knows her very first line was "Who is he, Naomi?" Well, in the Italian dubbed version that line is not "Who is he, Naomi?", but "Who is he, Niobe?" hence my nickname. I've never seen the original English version, so I can't be sure about that, but I don't think it's a simple translation matter. "Who is he, Niobe" makes perfectly sense because in that scene Michelle's character, Athena, is talking to a character named Niobe played by Robin Eisenman, the line is addressed to Niobe and there isn't anyone called Naomi in the whole episode. So I figured she actually says "Niobe" and since the English pronunciation of the two names is similar, maybe someone who first wrote about it, in some article or book, just misspelled the name.
But when I found an interview in which Michelle herself stated the line was "Who is he, Naomi?" I got confused. So I dared to ask myself something outrageous for a Pfan, but that appears to be the only reasonable explanation: Is it possible that Michelle Pfeiffer herself forgot her own first line? After all we're talking about 30 years ago! Maybe it is not as unconceivable as it seems. Probably I'm totally wrong, but I don't want to be right, what I'm looking for is just an explanation, because if I'm right I want to point out this mistake to all Pfans, but if I'm wrong I would like to know what the name Naomi has to do with that scene.
If you have the original version of that episode, I would appreciate if you paid attention to what she actually says and told me, once for all, what the real line is.
Thank you. (Less)
