Phyllis Altenhaus is name-checked - as "Fyllis" - on the cover of "[[Freak Out!]]" (1966) under the heading "These People Have Contributed Materially In Many Ways To Make Our Music What It Is.

She certainly was the "monster victim" in and film editor of the "[[Uncle Meat (the Video)]]" video (1987) in which she plays "herself" and [[Sheba Flieschman]]; parts of her contribution to the video can be heard on the "[[Uncle Meat]]" (1969) album. She also appears in "[[Video From Hell]]" (1987) and "[[The True Story of 200 Motels]]" (1989). She contributed to "[[Woodstock]]" (1970, editing) and "[[New York, New York]]" (1977, assistant editor). She is supposedly [[Mike Keneally]]'s favorite actress.
