i don't know the answer to the question but mark's dad was an extra in that movie and i had an iguana as a long time pet. that's my contribution to today's post.
Was it Martina Navratilova? (sp) I know she was Czech, though I don't recall her asking for asylum...
Yeah, I can't think of anyone besides Martina. I'll have to Czech for the answer later :)
Mark's dad was an extra? That's kind of cool! I've never seen the movie, but maybe I should...
Yup, Martina Navratilova is the Czech I was looking for. I have no clue why she wanted political asylum, though.
