Was Dana’s husband the guy from Ghostbusters who she was with when she bumped into Peter, the “stiff” as Peter referred to him as? This would make sense because he was certainly not please with Peter (Jelousy perhaps) and she described him as “one of the finest musicians in the world” and I’m pretty sure that guy would have been able to secure a “very good job with an orchaestra in london”
Interesting thought perhaps?
In one of the interviews she did, Sigourney revealed that Dana’s husband was indeed ‘the stiff’.
Would that make Him Oscars dad? even though Dana and Venkey dated between flicks, After they broke up, maybe she went back with him because as seen in GB II Dana did still Play the Chello.
Or am I puttung in way too much thought again?
That’s the suggested idea, that she went back to the stiff after things for the Ghostbusters died down.
Nice piece of info there. That always boggled my mind. But did Dana cheat on the stiff with Peter? We know she cheated on him with Lewis due to the fact that they were possesed.
Ah, so my thinking was logical
She didn’t actually cheat on Peter with Louis, they wern’t actually dating, because they were only organising a date and nothing had come of it, as Peter him self said, she was his “would-be girlfriend” so they wern’t actually a couple
Uggh…Typical woman…With the man when the times are good and the moneys there…then as soon as the run is through and the money’s gont…right back to the previous man they go because they saw that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side…(yeah i know im going to get a TON of heat for that)
I was saying dana cheated on the stiff with Peter AND Louis. Not on Peter with Louis.
I always thought of Dana as a ■■■■■. lol 
I mainly thought she was a bitch
Cheap shot huh?
Why would she be cheating with anyone? As far as it looks she didn’t appear to be in a proper relationship with the Stiff until after she broke up with Peter.
While it has never been verified in-story, there are two main sources that basically say, yeah, The Stiff is Dana’s ex-husband and Oscar’s Dad:
Sigourney Weaver herself mentioned it on the Arsenio Hall Show, referring to the character as “Mister Nose Spray”
It comes up in the commentary track of the GB1 DVD too, I believe in the part The Stiff appears in.
While never given a name on-screen, and only referred to as “Violinist” in the GB1 credits, the Richard Mueller novelization of GB1 does give the guy a name: Andre Wallance. Which means, then, that Dana’s son’s birth name is presumably Oscar Wallance.
--That poor little hot dog.
Some of us fan fic guys have been using the name for a few years now.
That kid sure did have a hard time from the batt then?
His mother was a dog, his father was a stiff he was named after a hotdog…and then he was choosen to be the “vessel off a living god”
And I thought I had it rough as a kid, damn…lol
Dana is over-rated
i’d hit it.
I’d much rather hit her from how she appeared a few years ago. That 80’s hair thing never worked for me.
Sigourney/Dana is gorgeous i know i would then & as she looks now
What other film was she in where she had blonde hair, was that Galaxy Quest??
She looked hot in this film, wish i was the costume fitter on her wardrobe hehe
Oooh someone’s been burned in the past haven’t they…
GB2 itself implies the breakup was mostly Venkman’s fault–he wouldn’t commit to her, kept introducing her as “The old ball and chain” and falling asleep every time Dana brought up the topic of marriage. There may very well be more to the story, but based on that I couldn’t blame her for leaving him.
Of course, if you throw in the cartoons and/or 88MPH ideas, Venkman wasn’t broke and down on his luck at the time, either. In my own mind it played out a lot like the Ghostbusters: Legion mini-series, except Venkman doesn’t make the right decision at the end and make up with her–instead he stays away, she marries Andre, ect.
■■■■■■ me off that Seb cheated us all out of what would have been a great ongoing series. But anyway…
That’s always how I saw it too, that “The Stiff” was Oscar’s father. I never knew that Sigourney confirmed it years ago, so thanks for the update, King.
As for hittin’ it, I’d hit it thrice and make it nice until she says “Venkman who?”
