UP VOAT!!! Good God, why cant we find the names of the Tutors? I believe they were scrubbed. There are usually accounts of them just like the record of where scenes were even filmed. I have seen it with different movies. If not listed, then there is a reason, and that is possible involvement. How odd they can't be found for both of those movies. I spent hours one night after your last post and could not find anything. I hope others will get on this and realize how important it is to find the Tutor's Names. Thank You for your Tireless Efforts regarding their Horrid Murders. RIP Heather RIP Judith

Tutors on set are also called "studio teachers," "welfare workers" and "set teachers." https://archive.is/wnG6H

For any production, look way at the bottom of the cast and crew list under "other crew" to find these people.

For example, on the set of Poltergeist III, Judy Wix was the "welfare worker": https://archive.is/Big5O

She also did some acting (Kindergarten Cop), apparently: https://archive.is/S1whB

A Personal Quote from Heather

I want to continue acting, but I want to be a director. I'd been thinking about it for a while. A couple of years ago, I decided it would be a different experience to work behind the camera. And I'd be able to work on scripts. But I like acting a lot. It's fun. You meet a lot of people.

I want to be a director.

My parents put everything in a trust fund for me. I won't get it until I'm 18, so I'll use it for college.

No, you won't get it honey. So sad.

Movie Staff says

For the most part, it's that simple. But it's a big job. And an important one. Most people are aware that the history of child actors in Hollywood is a veritable epic of abuse, exploitation, and mistreatment. The Studio Teacher is there, first and foremost, as a defense against the business forces that would overwork and jeopardize child actors. Studio Teachers are advocates, sometimes the ONLY advocate, for the well-being of the child actor.

Wow. Well, this sounds like it would be OK, but many are not doing their job. I will take a look under your advice and info.

I saw of course where she is listed as you mentioned. I find it odd that there is no listing under Poltergeist 1 & 2. Also I check the Happy Days Going Steady Episode and there isn't any one listed under welfare worker or anything that might match. Thanks for letting me know where to check.
