An iconic image: Teresa Taylor as Pap Smear Pusher with Ultimate Loser (Scott Marcus) and Stephanie From Dallas (Stella Weir) in Slacker – (courtesy of Detour Filmproduction) Richard Linklater: Teresa Taylor, ICON. It was amazing to see The New York Times and be like, "Wow, there she is in bright colors." I can't think of an actor or a figure whose obituary picture would be a poster to a movie they were in, but that was pretty cool. John Pierson: Unprecedented. One of the things that had to happen is you had to be in our digital age where we're looking at that online, so that those colors, when it popped up there at the top of the obituaries Thursday afternoon, shockingly, but those colors were so sharp and bright, which you'd never would have seen in a print edition even when they added color.
