See No Evil by Barbie Wilde (Burgess, Walters, Wilde)
About me: I'm best known as THE FEMALE CENOBITE in the classic cult horror movie 'HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II' by Clive Barker. I've performed in cabaret in Bangkok; appeared in the Bollywood blockbuster, 'JANBAZZ' (being the first classically trained robotic mime artist to perform in a Bollywood movie) and was a vicious mugger in 'DEATH WISH III'. I've also robotically mimed with British TV legends Morecambe & Wise and the famous TV hand puppet 'Sooty'.
In the early 1980's, I danced professionally at the top nightclubs of New York City, London, and Amsterdam with the mime/dance/music group, SHOCK, which spawned the duo, Tik and Tok. SHOCK supported such artists as Gary Numan, Ultravox and Adam & the Ants and released two singles on RCA Records: 'Angel Face' and 'Dynamo Beat'.
While working as a television presenter, I wrote the scripts for all of the programs that I appeared in, which include: 'The American Hot 100' (Skytrax TV); 'The Morning Show' and 'Supersonic' (Music Box TV); 'The Small Screen', a film review program for London Weekend Television; 'Hold Tight' a music show for Granada Television as well as a live music program, 'The Gig', for London Weekend Television. I also presented the movie history program, 'Sprockets' which is still sporadically shown on various free-to-view channels (such as The Horror Movie Channel) on Sky Television UK.
Over the years, I've interviewed such pop personalties as Cliff Richard, Iggy Pop, The Sisters of Mercy, Pepsi & Shirley, Roger Taylor of Queen, John Lydon (the Sex Pistol's Johnny Rotten), The B52's, Lisa Stansfield and Black as well as actors Nicholas Cage and Hugh Grant.
I've also worked as a film critic for the prestigious Film Review Annual; as an assistant casting director for the BBC production of 'The Buddha of Suburbia'; and as a casting director for numerous commercials for British television as well as for MTV's London production of 'The Real World'.
As a song writer, I've worked with Tim Dry (Tik from Tik and Tok) and Richard James Burgess & John Walters (Landscape).
I'm currently editing my first crime novel, 'the Venus complex', due for publication soon.
