Auto Focus - (2002)
AUTO FOCUS, an absorbing glimpse into the colorful life, and mysterious death, of actor Bob Crane. Handsome and charming, Crane became well known as the star of television's hit comedy HOGAN'S HEROES (1965-1971). Capitalising on his fame, Crane dove into the freewheeling spirit of the times with relish, having affairs with numerous women. (AUTO FOCUS is a fascinating chronicle of American male sexual identity in the sixties and seventies). Eventually, Crane teamed up with video technician John Carpenter to document his exploits, an association that may very well have led to his murder in a Scottsdale, Arizona motel room in 1978.

Alex's role in Auto Focus

Alex Meneses plays against type: She's an exotic dancer who shows "Hogan's Heroes" actor Bob Crane the path to depravity and eventual death. "I turn him on to the dark side," she says. "Until [their scene], he's still a God-fearing citizen and family man." She didn't hit strip clubs to study for her part, as Demi Moore did for "Striptease", but Meneses, 28, says the "Auto Focus" set had lots of professionals -- "strippers and real swingers who were sweet, nice young people." So what did she learn? "I always had a judgment about their lifestyle, and now I don't. They're just folks who do what they do ... and then they go home and make dinner." hat may very well have led to his murder in a Scottsdale, Arizona motel room in 1978.
Viva Rock Vegas - (2000)

Fred Flintstone (Mark Addy) and his best friend Barney Rubble (Stephen Baldwin) are on top of the world. They have just graduated from the Bronto Crane Academy and secured jobs at the rock quarry in Bedrock, and life couldn't be better.

Wilma Slaghoople (Kristen Johnston), the beautiful young heiress and daughter to Colonel (Harvey Korman) and Pearl Slaghoople (Joan Collins), is miserable. Her mother, resplendent in the latest Isaac Mizraki gown as she dines on caveiar, has Wilma's life mapped out for her, including a marriage to the suave and debonair Chip Rockefeller (Thomas Gibson). He does drive a Cadirock and he was first in his class at Princestone, but to Wilma he's a total bore, so she runs away from home.

In Bedrock, Wilma meets Betty O'Shale (Jane Krakowski), and the two become fast friends, residing at Melrock Place and working at the local Bronto King. Following a disasterous first date, Fred ends up falling head over heels in love with Wilma, while Barney and Betty become inseparable. So, leaving puppy Dino behind, Fred and Barney - along with a green alien from outerspace, The Great Gazoo (Alan Cumming) - whisk the girls away on a BC-10 for a romantic weekend in Rock Vegas. But Chip has other plans in mind, and with the help of Roxie (Alex Meneses), a Rock Vegas showgirl, Rockefeller devises a plan to get Fred out of the picture once and for all, leaving Wilma and her family's fortune all to himself.

Selena (1997)
