Classically trained at the Banff School of Fine Arts and celebrated in her native country for her brilliant stage interpretations of Shaw and Ibsen, Canadian actress Helen Shaver made her American debut in, of all things, a TV sitcom -- 1980's United States. Neither this nor her second series Jessica Novak (1981) was successful, but she remained in demand in films and theatre productions in both the U.S. and Canada. The best of Shaver's many movie roles include fortyish Ann MacDonald in In Praise of Older Women (filmed in 1978, when she was 25) and Paul Newman's ever-patient lady friend in The Color of Money (1986). Additionally, Shaver was showcased in several made-for-TV movies, among them Lovey: A Circle of Children 2 (1978) and This Park is Mine (1985).

Quotes from Helen Shaver's Characters
Littlefoot: | Mother, what's a long neck? |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Well, that's what we are, Dear. |
Littlefoot: | Why can't I play with that three-horn? We were having fun. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Well, we all stick to our own kinds. The three-horns, the spike-tails, the swimmers, the flyers... we never do anything together. |
Littlefoot: | Why? |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Because we're different. It's always been that way. |
Littlefoot: | Well, why? |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Oh, don't worry so much. When we reach the Great Valley, there'll be many many long necks for you to play with. |
Littlefoot: | [sighs] I wish we were there now. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Well, it's a long way yet. Past the Great Rock that Looks Like a Long Neck, and pass the Mountains that Burn... still a long way, but we'll get there. |
Littlefoot: | Have you ever seen the Great Valley? |
Littlefoot's Mother: | No. |
Littlefoot: | Well, how do you know it's really there? |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Some things you see with your eyes, others you see with your heart. |
Littlefoot: | I don't understand, Mother. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | You will, my son. You will. |
Littlefoot: | Mother? Please get up. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | I'm... not sure I can, Littlefoot. |
Littlefoot: | Yes you can. Get up! |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Some things you see with your eyes. Others, you see with your heart. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Now, you be careful, my Littlefoot. |
Littlefoot: | [yawns] |
Grandfather: | Ha ha. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Beautiful Littlefoot. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Dear sweet Littlefoot...do you remember the way to the Great Valley? |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Dear sweet Littlefoot... do you remember the way to the Great Valley? |
Littlefoot: | I guess so... But why do I have to know if you're going to be with me? |
Littlefoot: | I guess so... but why do I have to know if you're going to be with me? |
Littlefoot's Mother: | I'll be with you. Even if you can't see me. |
Littlefoot: | What do you mean I can't see you? I can always see you. |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Littlefoot...let your heart guide you. It whispers...so listen closely... |
Littlefoot's Mother: | Littlefoot, let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. |
Littlefoot: | Mother...? Mother...? |
Littlefoot: | Mother? Mother? |
Carolyn: | (in a demonic voice) - It's the passage...to HELL! |
Carolyn: | (in a demonic voice) It's the passage, to HELL! |
Carolyn: | (in a demonic voice) It's the passage, to Hell! |
Carolyn: | Demons are smart. They're not just monsters. They...They think just like you and I do. Just in reverse. It's a closed system. |
Carolyn: | Demons are smart. They're not just monsters. They, they think just like you and I do. Just in reverse. It's a closed system. |
Jeff: | Now you're beginning to give me the creeps. |
Carolyn: | There was a tribe of Indians called the Shinnecocks, and they used this land as a sort of exposure pen. They put all the crazy people here and left them here to die...My God! - That's where it is. |

Carolyn: | There are people buried here. |
George Lutz: | I'll go in and talk to Kathy, and you all come in in a couple of minutes. |
Jeff: | (Carolyn walks toward the house) - He told us to wait out here. |

Carolyn: | Jeff...I gotta see it for myself. |
Carolyn: | Jeff. I gotta see it for myself. |
Jeff: | I thought that place gave you the creeps. |
Carolyn: | Are those vibes ever strong. It really pulls on you. I gotta see the basement. That's where it's coming from. I'm very sensitive about these things. And I know about them. |
Jeff: | Come on; knock it off, will you? |
George Lutz: | (at the bar) - The house is doing things. I mean, windows open by themselves. Rooms full of flies at the wrong time of year...You saw what happened to Greg's hand. It's crazy. Last night the front door was ripped off its hinges from the inside. |

Jeff: | So? |
Carolyn: | They ran him out of Salem for being a witch. And he built his house exactly where you're living. You're living on some sort of special ground...devil worship...death...sacrifice. George, there's one simple rule...Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change forms. |

Jeff: | Carolyn, will you get a grip on yourself? You sound like some kind of psycho weirdo! |
Carolyn: | Come on, Jeffrey. Don't be such a hard-core rationalist. Everything in life cannot be explained by a slide rule. |
Jeff: | Thank you very much for your cosmic views. Now do me a favor...SHUT UP! |
Jeff: | Thank you very much for your cosmic views. Now do me a favor. SHUT UP! |
Carolyn: | (after pulling up to the house) - I don't want to go any closer. |
