Power Ranger Girls: Catherine Sutherland

35 year-old Australian Actress, joined the cast of Power Rangers in season three and played Katherine Hillard until Power Rangers Turbo.

She played the Pink Ranger for two seasons and a half, she was only the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger for about 8 episodes. She originally auditioned for Dulcea in the first movie but producers thought she was too young.

When a replacement was needed for Amy Jo Johnson, producers remembered Sutherland and hired her.

She voiced the Machine Empire General Tezzla (white Astral Borg) in the Power Rangers: Wild Force episode "Forever Red".

She played the victim of a serial killer in the 2000 film The Cell. In the theatrical cut she appeared as only a dead body, although her character's death appears as a deleted scene on the DVD. I didn't want to post pictures of it here, if you want, check it out on images.google.com.

She is married to actor Daniel Chilson and has two children, one girl and one boy.

Power Ranger Boy: Russell Lawrence

32 year-old actor, played Mike Corbett/Magna Defender in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

Played Matt Clark aka. Carter Mills in The Young and the Restless.

He also guested on "One World."

He was born in Miami, Florida. Yes, I know the Magna Defender isn't technically a Power Ranger!!!


He played Sid in "Card Sharks" and produced it too.

Americanized Sailor Moon pilot mistakenly called 'Saban Moon'

Animefringe interviewed Rocky Solotoff in 2000, check out the interview here.

What is still called by Sailor Moon fans as 'Saban Moon,' which spawned a fanfiction that was the Power Rangers vs. Sailor Moon, was not actually spearheaded by Haim Saban. When Sailor Moon was up for bids by Toei to be produced in North America, Renaissance-Atlantic Entertainment, worked closely with Bandai and Toon Makers, Inc., conceptualized their own version of the property, which was half live-action and half 'Americanized' animation (which was made by Koreans, Americans and yes, some Japanese). The pilot was made in late 1993 by Toon Makers. Two minutes of the pilot presentation was leaked at a convention and went online, stirring fans to believe it was by Haim Saban, they hated it and called it 'Saban Moon.'


The full pilot still hasn't seen the light of day. Rocky Solotoff says he has the info on the characters some where but can't find it, there was Tuxedo Mask, Queen Beryl and Moon's queen mom. Toei gave the okay to DiC to use the original Anime, so they didn't give the rights to this production, because they didn't want to compete with themselves. So if anyone wants to blame anyone, they can aim to Bandai, who did spearhead this. Rock Solotoff did wish the animation was better but they had a limited budget. The team had different colors than the original Sailor Senshi and were of other ethnicities, one girl being paraplegic, one being Asian (I guess), Black and a Red-head (apparently being a ginger is an ethnicity).

I must also clarify that the reason people thought it was Saban was because he was tied to Renaissance-Atlantic Entertainment at one point, distribution or something, something second-hand.

Lee Lee's Saban Moon page, it really wasn't by Saban!
Download the video of the 2 minute musical clip

Two interesting leftovers from the project was vehicles that didn't appear in the original Anime, being the Moon Cycle (seen above), which was made by Bandai America as a toy for the 1995 Sailor Moon toy line. The second being the logo that appears at the end of the 2 minute music video, it is still the same Official North American Sailor Moon Logo (also seen above).
