Dark Moon (Nightmare Hall) (20 page)

Hoh and her mother in Ireland in 1985. Hoh recalls, “I kissed the Blarney Stone, which she said was redundant because I already had the ‘gift of gab.’ Later, I would use some of what we saw there in
Titanic: The Long Night
as Paddy, Brian, and Katie deported from Ireland.”

Hoh with her daughter Jenny in Portland, Oregon, in 2008. Says Hoh, “While there, I received a call from a young filmmaker in Los Angeles who wanted to make
The Train
into a film. They ran out of money before the project got off the ground. Such is life.”

Hoh in 1991, addressing a class at the junior high she had attended in Warren, Pennsylvania.

A 1995 photo taken in Austin, Texas, with Hoh’s grandchildren. Says Hoh, “Although my deadlines for
Nightmare Hall
were tight, I made time for my grandchildren: Mike, Alex, and Rachel. I'm so glad they live here.”
