IMDB has one listing for “Mary Ann CHIN” and another for “Mary Ann CHINN.”

Mary Ann Chin’s only movie credits were for “Don’t Go in the House,” where she had an onscreen role as “Woman in Street” and also received a “special thanks” credit.

Here is a link to a June 25, 1980 article about the making of “Don’t Go in the House”: https://www.newspapers.com/image/147703978/?terms=%22mary%20ann%20chin%22&match=1

Also attached is a scan of the first few paragraphs of that article, stating that Mary Ann Chin was a fourth-grade teacher whose involvement with the movie came when the producers knocked on her door to ask if they could use her house in the movie.

All of the other credits, for both entries, belong to Mary Ann Chinn.

Hi jonputnam -

Thanks for the detailed information and evidence, this credit has now been moved to a separate listing for "Mary Ann Chin". The change should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!

@Michelle In addition to Mary Ann Chinn (with the double "n,") there are now IMDB entries for "Mary Ann Chin (I)" and "Mary Ann Chin (II)." Mary Ann Chin (I) has no credits listed, while Mary Ann Chin (II) has just one listed -- a "special thanks" in the "Don't Go in the House" credits. However, she also had a cameo in the same movie as "Woman in Street," but that credit is still listed under "Mary Ann Chinn." Mary Ann Chinn (double "n") is an established actress with a list of acting credits from 1974 -1986. As noted above, Mary Ann Chin (one "n") was not an actress and her only involvement with movies was "Don't Go in the House"; she allowed the producers to use her home in the movie, and in exchange she received the "special thanks" credit" as well as the "Woman in Street" cameo.
