During the filming of the anthology movie "Creepshow," Anderson, a School of Drama professor emeritus, stood in a men's bathroom covering an actor with an alien green grass while being surrounded by scurrying cockroaches. The actor and film's author was Stephen King.
"I was shaving his chest to make paths to glue on the green stuff," Anderson said. "It was such a surreal time."

"You can't swing a cat in LA without hitting at least 3 Carnegie Mellon grads."- Dick Block. This article tells the story of George Romero's new star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame but also mentions quite a few Carnegie Mellon School of Drama graduates and professors. The lady in the title, Anderson, recalls a costume moment where she was surrounded by cockroaches for a Stephen King movie and that kind of tells what George Romero liked to work on; the gory, mystery, scary stuff. Other Carnegie Mellon associated people have also worked with Romero, like Anderson's husband, Ted Danson, and Tom Savini, and some of Romero's work was even filmed on Carnegie Mellon's campus. This was an interesting read about how Carnegie Mellon kind of created the "father of the zombie film genre."
