7th Episode Kellie McQuiggin

Описание: In this special episode of the Rad Movie Podcast, host Tony Donaldson sits down with Kellie McQuiggin, best known to fans as Foxy from the iconic 1986 BMX film Rad.

Kellie opens up about how she landed her very first film role, coming from a background in professional dance, modeling, and pageants — including the surprising opportunities she turned down because of Rad. She shares what it was like stepping onto a movie set with zero BMX knowledge, working with legendary director Hal Needham, and being part of a film that quietly grew into a full-blown cult phenomenon.

The conversation dives into behind-the-scenes memories from filming in Calgary and Cochrane, unforgettable cast moments, and stories fans have rarely (if ever) heard — from dangerous stunts and freezing river scenes to wild off-camera adventures involving musicians, movie legends, and unexpected friendships.

Kellie also reflects on rediscovering Rad decades later, attending anniversary reunions, and what it means to see new generations embrace a movie she never imagined would endure. The episode closes with thoughtful insights on hindsight, creative courage, personal growth, and why the upcoming 40th anniversary feels especially meaningful.

Whether you grew up rewinding the VHS, discovered Rad later in life, or just love hearing untold stories from cult-classic cinema, this episode delivers nostalgia, humor, and genuine reflection — without spoiling all the surprises.
