There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

The guy is Alexis Denisof, and my guess for the girl is...Claire Coffee?

I watched it twice, and her smile at :51 looked familiar. So if you don't know who it is, how do we find out?

EDIT: Pretty sure it's not Claire Coffee. If IMDb can be trusted she was just 7 years old when Harrison recorded that song in 1987, and Denisof was 21.

EDIT 2: Wikipedia says that Gary Weis directed two different videos for the song, and this one was the first. It identifies Denisof but not the girl - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Got_My_Mind_Set_on_You

I saw that wiki page. I found it odd that Alexis was credited, but not the girl.

Which prompted me to ask.

Real good look at her face is at the :46 mark.

That'd be a darn good guess. Similar look, age. However, there's no mention of her appearing in the video, nor did she ever live in England.

I think the girl is Amy Stock-Poynton, who played Bill's step-mom Sissy in 1989's Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I'd bet the video was shot here in the States, either New York or LA. I know George Harrison is English, but you should be aware that Alexis is not, in spite of his accent as Wesley.

I just figured that since Alexis DID move to London when he was 17, and some of his early work ( Beginning his career in the film industry, Denisof was the fight director for a stage production of Hamlet, and in 1991 was the fight director for the BBC's The Other Side, Romeo and Juliet, and The Soul's Dark Night.[5] Alexis' first lead was alongside Christopher Lee in the feature film Murder Story where he played an investigative reporter ) , that the video was shot over there, and the actress would be English as well.

Then why no mention of appearing in the video ? Alexis, who has had a decent career, has it in his bio. Her resume' is stark in comparison. Why would she omit working w/ George Harrison, at least appearing in one of his music videos , when her work history is so limited ?

She does bear a resemblance, but according to her bio, she's 8 or so years older than Alexis. The girl in the video looks his age, or a bit younger.

So, who the heck IS that girl ???

Okay yeah, Amy would have been too old to be the girl in that video. I remember her from the movie Summer School and the tv show Dallas.

I'll try again, but we may never know.

I won't make it quest. I just find it odd that we know Alexis but nothing of the girl.
She must not have done much after that. I do find it a cool bit of trivia on Alexis though.

Like how Alyson starred in ' My stepmother is an Alien '.

A boy & a girl see each other in a amusement arcade. She sees a ballerina
figurine she likes, & the boy gets it for her. That video?

I'm tryin' to find the girl; so far, she's a mystery to everyone who's commented.

good sound, this version.

Interview with Alexis Denisof, 2003

age=2

On filming the video for the song: It was his 1st job; he was an unknown.
No doubt, the pretty girl was also unknown.

Good mp3 extended version; no girl

Peeked at the interview. Sad that he never got to meet George Harrison.

Thanks for posting.
