LAURA SALVATO AS A REPORTER IN SWANS CROSSING
(and in other roles)
Salvato as Volunteer AIDS Worker
in "Living Out Loud" with Holly Hunter
In LIVING OUT LOUD (1998) Holly Hunter is the ex-wife of a doctor trying to find her identity. Salvato has a brief role as an AIDS clinic volunteer about 89 minutes into the film.
In her role as a neo-natal AIDS volunteer worker, Laura Salvato's character wore an identifying badge. I can't make out the name on it, but someone with better software might be able to resolve it.
The above clip is revealing of Ziska Beveridge's character Mayor Margaret Rutledge in the sense that while she is making her speech before the baseball game, the only people paying any attention to her are the two reporters who are (presumably) being paid to do so, and Grant Booth, her arch-enemy. One of those reporters is played by Laura Jane Salvato. (The other is Ted Bardy). For some reason the picture goes black-and-white as the questions begin. Why this happens is unclear, as television news was definitely in colour in 1992. The quality of the video precludes getting a still picture from it.
FAUX BABY
Below is Episode Two of the webseries FAUX BABY in which she is featured. (That is Missy Yager, who was Sarah Beth Carson in MAD MEN, in the opening scene.)
On the left is a picture of her being Gia, a Bajoran civilian
in the Deep Space Nine episode "Accession" which first aired 24 February 1996. She is, as far as I can tell,
the only cast member of Swans Crossing to have appeared in a Star Trek episode.
Salvato will play a teacher in the 2011 Season Premier of BIG LOVE on
HBO. She is a member of ENSEMBLE
STUDIO THEATRE in Los Angeles, CA.
