Vista Dancer

While reading the previous Z entry (unbelievable, Z wrote something in this blog!), I was suddenly striked by something… What if the Wind Dancer played by Dustin Diamond in Cost of Living was the inspiration for the windows vista logo?

Don’t you think it looks alike? Same bubble, same hideous colours, same has been look… Yes, I hate clowns, you guessed.

Anyway, while looking for references for this entry, I find the Memory Alpha page, invaluable reference in the Star Trek universe, in which they say, in the section Uncredited Co-Stars of this episode: « According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, the wind dancer was "the face of a made-up clown" and not Saved by the Bell actor Dustin Diamond, as many believe. »

Which seems strange, since Z’s information comes from the no less reputable source IMDB, which cites him unambiguously as playing the Wind Dancer as cameo in this 1992 episode: Cost of Living.

Who should we believe?

Someone has reliable informations? Even better: does someone know Dustin Diamond and could this someone ask him the question?






En lisant le billet de Z qui précède (incroyable, Z a écrit un truc sur le blog !), j’ai soudainement été frappé par un truc… Et si le Wind Dancer interprété par Dustin Diamond dans Cost of Living avait été l’inspiration pour le logo de windows vista ?

Vous ne trouvez pas qu’il y a un air, non ? Même bulle, mêmes couleurs criardes, même ringardise… Oui, je hais les clowns, comme vous l’avez deviné.

Bon et sinon, en cherchant des références pour ce billet, je tombe sur la page de Memory Alpha, grande référence dans l’univers de Star Trek, qui dit, dans la section Uncredited Co-Stars de cet épisode : « According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, the wind dancer was "the face of a made-up clown" and not Saved by the Bell actor Dustin Diamond, as many believe. »

Ce qui me semble curieux, car l’information de Z vient de la non moins sérieuse source IMDB, qui le cite sans ambiguïté comme ayant joué ce Wind Dancer en cameo dans cet épisode de 1992 : Cost of Living.

Alors, qui croire ?

Quelqu’un a des informations sûres ? Mieux encore : quelqu’un connaît Dustin Diamond et peut lui poser la question ?
