Christa Art

Chitra in The Premonition

Found this still of LET'S GO FOR BROKE villain, Chitra (Neogy) in the 1975 movie THE PREMONITION, probably the first film she did after BROKE. Seen here with actor Jeff Corey (l).

Warning!

I just spotted a site online offering LET'S GO FOR BROKE on a 2 disc Blu-Ray set with extras and subs and everything like that. Pardon me if I don't believe it as it's my understanding there are less than 6 copies of the film in existence and several of the folks who have one don't want it released and I've agreed not to release MY copy. If you're interested in Christa's story and would love to see the movie, I urge you to use caution if you see it offered for sale, for download or for streaming. 

As of right now, to the best of my knowledge, LET'S GO FOR BROKE is simply NOT out there in its entirety, legally or even illegally! 

Christa On Wonder Woman

Some new screen captures from Christa's WONDER WOMAN episode.

Christa Makes the List

Thanks to Lou Mougin for pointing out this recently posted look at the Top Ten show business careers cut short by mysterious deaths or disappearances. Thanks to CBS, John O' Dowd and myself, the once forgotten Christa Helm is on the list. As long as her name stays out there, there's always hope that her case WILL get solved.

Original Broke Director Alex Stevens

I ran across another photo of Alex Stevens, the stuntman who was verified by Chitra to have been the original director of LET'S GO FOR BROKE's Haiti scenes. He was replaced by Producer Stuart Duncan with Ron Walsh when the production resumed in Florida after a holiday break.
