thoaxamlnor Friday Mly11 1979 Will Victoria Racimo break through now HOLLYWOOD NEA It takes two things to make star starring role in suc cessful film lot of actors have thought they had it made when they got big parts But then when the picture died grisly death they realized their starring part didnt amount to hill of beans Unless the public sees the pic ture they could have the best role in the world and it wouldnt 1elp Which brings us to Victoria Racimo an exotic beauty who ms the role and now has her ingers crossed waiting to see if he picture is hit The movie is Prophecy ind the word is that it is good ne scary important lramatic John rankenheimer who directed told Victoria Racimo that he hinks if the picture is well eceived it will make big stars mi of the two leads Victoria iacimo

effects of methyl mercury poisoning on people and animals Supposedly this creats mutation which turns out be monstrous creature If Prophecy makes it and if Prankenheimers prophecy about Prophecy comes
