good for North

when asked if she secund
guesses her decision to return to work in B. C.

between scenes. “I love Canada because there’s a lot of great:
Projects going on here.”

During Nothing Too Good For a Cowboy's (hereafter called
Cowboy) hiatus —- a one-week holiday in late September —”
Chatke took some time to film a role in a feature film tenta-
tively titled Y2K which was being shot in Vancouver starring
Roddy MacDowell and Lou Gossett Jr.

“1 happened to dye my hair black over hiatus playing a -
Russian spy,” said the natural blonde.

Filmed amid the expansive splendour of Virtue Ranch
Studios northeast of Missiou, Cowboy features Canadian tal-
ent telling a purely Canadian’ story of real-life B.C. history.

Hobson, the show is a romantic comedy that follows the trials
