The video is called : Secret of a Wild Child - from Nova. I spoke to Susan Crtiss last year and here is the latest on Genie from what she told me at the time: 1. Genie is in an adult care facility that Dr. Curtiss described as "atypical" in that it offers exceptional exposure to events and activities. Each year Genie travels, with her group, to Las Vegas to play slot machines and explore. They also go on regular outings had have "social functions" at the care home.
2. Dr. Curtiss said that, unfortunately, Genie's language skills have deteriorated as has her ability to sign (she really has no one with whom she can "practicing" signing). Despite these setbacks, Dr. Curtiss said that Genie is still "a powerhouse of zest for life". 3. Dr. Curtiss also said that not one member of the "team" that worked with Genie has been permitted to see her. Her mother, as of last year, was still the legal guardian and had forbidden the team members to see Genie. Dr. Curtiss receives all of her information through Genie's social worker. That's all I know and all I reported last year. Good luck. Shannon Gadbois At 08:34 AM 11/08/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Kathleen > >Can you provide the movie reference?
