Borat!
 Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (or simply Borat) is a 2006 British-American mockumentary comedy film written and produced by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen who also plays the title character, Borat Sagdiyev, a fictitious Kazakh journalist travelling through the United States recording real-life interactions with Americans.
 The film was directed by Larry Charles and distributed by 20th Century Fox.
 Much of the film features unscripted vignettes of Borat interviewing and interacting with Americans, who believe he is a foreigner with little or no understanding of American customs.
 It is the second of three films built around Baron Cohen's characters from "Da Ali G Show" (2000–04): the first, "Ali G Indahouse", was released in 2002, and featured a cameo by Borat, and the third, "Brüno", was released in 2009.

Rachel "Sparkle" Glusman (April 14, 1915 - October 6, 2005) was an American actress.
 Born in the Russian Empire, the 4' 2" actress came to the United States with her family and worked in show business on a free lance basis while raising a family.
 Glusman was a background and unaccredited actress for many years which is why there is little credit or history for much of her work until receiving a few credited cameo roles late in life.
 Immediately following the filming of her cameo in "Dirty Deeds", she died in her sleep of natural causes in Los Angeles in October 2005.
