It's great to see 93 year young Kay Linaker get her own featurette. She was in various Chan movies and later became well known for writing the screenplay for THE BLOB. She still teaches a college course on the East Coast and makes the occasional personal appearance.

I am hoping that 101 year old Lester Ziffren, who wrote 4 Chan screenplays will be interviewed on Vol 5. He is still quite lucid from what I am told.
