Linda is the one with the tambourine and it's not a costume but actual footage
from the 70's. She went on to appear in a lot of stage/movie musicals and I
particularly enjoyed her performance as Mabel in the movie version of Pirates of
Penzance.

The movie had an excellent cast and they all played their parts very well IMHO
even if it was intentionally tongue-in-cheek and deliberately over-acted to the
nth degree! That just makes it funnier to watch!
