222: Terri Hardin – The Original Mother of Dragons – Part 2
Terri Hardin – Imagineer, Puppeteer and Star Wars super-fan – joins us once again for a continuing incredible discussion on her life and career. She is the original Mother of Dragons – having brought La Taniere du Dragon in Disneyland Paris to life underneath Sleeping Beauty Castle. She is a sculptor and puppeteer, as well. Remember the terrifying “terror dog” in Ghostbusters which terrified you as a kid? Well, that’s her! Hear all about both on this episode.
Not only is she an imagineer, Terri Hardin had a huge collection of Star Wars one-sheet posters thanks to her persistence as a Star Wars super-fan as told on the previous episode. This was not just any collection. Her story about Steve Sansweet appraising her collection may surprise you.
