MARLEX MIN PINS IN NEW JIM CARREY MOVIE!!!!! Our b/r girls "Mamba" (aka Ch Marlex Black Mamba) and "Mimi" (aka Marlex Lulin Mimosa) were selected to appear in a scene of the new movie "I Love You Phillip Morris", starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, currently being filmed for a 2009 release. The scene has already been shot whereby Jim Carrey is walking Mamba and Mimi along the sidewalk in South Beach. Our daughter Lisa took the girls to the shoot as Chip and I were away at shows, and she ended up getting a walk on part as well! Lisa was thrilled with this once in a lifetime experience, and reports Jim Carrey was very nice. Although it was hot, Mamba and Mimi had a ball. We hope they make it to the final cut.
