I stopped even paying attention to RW after...wait, which season was the one with Colin and Amaya?  Was that Hawaii?  It was so skanky that I was afraid even to touch my TV set for fear of contracting herpes.

That Judy Kercheval find is amazing! now we just have to find the story that went with Mike marrying Valerie,   A 1973 article on Meg Mundy Meg Mundy plays meddling mother-in-law Mona in 'The Doctors' seen locally on Channels 5 and 7 at 2:30 p.m. If you're middle aged you might recognize the face of Meg Mundy, During the 1940s she was a top fashion model. Now she's in a soap opera playing ... One of the nastiest ladies that' s ever been By ANGELA TAYLOR The New York Tlmes News Service To the soap opera fans who settle down to NBC TV's "The Doctors" every afternoon, there seems to be something familiar about the .face of 'Mona Aldrich, the proper Bostonian who is trying to break up her doctor son's marriage with all the skill of a female Machiavelli. And at least to those viewers who have attained middle age there certainly is. Mona Aldrich is played by Meg Mundy. In the 1940s, one couldn't open a fashion magazine without seeing Miss Mundy's elegantly-slim body doing wonders for the small-waisted, full-skirted fashions of the day. Her hair is blond now and doesn't quite set off her ivory skin as did the dark brown locks she had at 19, when John Robert Powers told her she was ho beauty, "but I bet you photograph." She did photograph and still does. Even the middle-age lines around her generous mouth are interesting, and very proper to the character Miss Mundy describes as "one of the nastiest ladies that's ever been, but supposedly with a great deal of charm." Meg Mundy is back to her first love, acting. It was to support herself at acting school that she wandered into the offices of the modeling agencies. "Harry Conover got me my first job," she recalled. "I went to the photographer's studio, but I shook so, he couldn't get a picture." Six months later she was back, without the quivers, and was sent to Vogue for a "go-see." (The term means an interview with a fashion editor to see if the model fits the editor's need.) "I was lucky; Sally Kirkland (then Vogue's fashion editor) liked me and I did my first sitting on the steps of Columbia." Then began the rounds of the top photographers of the times. The late John Rawlings was fatherly and suggested she do something about her "dreadful" hair "I had very long hair then, when all the kids were wearing theirs short." Horst (Horst P. Horst), who was later to do many of her best fashion photographs, turned her down the first time "you're too ugly." And no wonder. "I walked around in any old thing and flat shoes. I never had any exposure to expensive clothes. My parents had been musicians. My mother couldn't have cared less about clothes." But soon the duckling became a proper swan, in high heels, and a hat and gloves. In the black Cavanagh hat box which was the trademark that distinguished the fashion models from their less glamorous sisters around town she carried a bra and a waist-cincher, which were de rigueur for the Dior New Look fashions that had swept the world. Like the other models of the period, she looked considerably older than she was. "It was the thing to look like a chic, elegant woman, mysterious and unreachable. Fashion was a couture rather than a boutique world then. Even though we were girls in our teens and twenties, we looked like grown women." Now the pendulum has swung full way. Today's models look like perpetual teenagers, coltish and "natural." Actually, Miss Mundy points out, they have more artifices to use: false lashes, wigs and complicated makeups to shade their faces. And they can move. "Before the strobe light became a common photographic technique, you had to hold a pose perfectly still. And they were always shooting you with your mouth open." Still, Miss Mundy declares that current models are more beautiful. By today's standards, she and the other popular models of her time Marilynn Ambrose, Muriel Maxwell and Betty McLaughlin might be considered interesting looking, rather than raving beauties. However, their very standoffishness put them on pedestals. Women who recognized them in the street felt the same sort of thrill they might when encountering a movie star. "It was fabulous that people recognized you." They still do but as the dreadful television mother of David O'Brien, one of the "Doctors." Miss Mundy recalls with . a laugh that when her 19-year-old son, Sotos Yannopoulus, worked as a bagger in a Connecticut supermarket last summer, a shopper asked him, "Is that awful woman really your mother?" "I'm glad I modeled," Miss Mundy continued. "The money, $35 to $40 an hour, was good for the times. And the clothes were wonderful. It was truly an esthetic experience to put on a Mainbocher or a Norell or a Galanos." But' she was a child of the stage and the pull was there.  Born in London some 50 years ago, the daughter of a singer and a father who was first cellist at Covent Garden, Margaret Mundy came to New York at the age of 8. (She still retains a trace of British accent.) She had musical training piano and voice "but I had no real talent for it." She apparently had enough voice to have sung with ' such diverse bodies as the New York Philharmonic and Kay Thompson's Rhythm Singers, but preferred acting. Her big chance came in 1948, when she appeared in Sartre's "The Respectful Prostitute" and got excellent reviews. A year later, she starred with Ralph Bellamy in "Detective Story." Later, when the acting roles dwindled off, she became a fashion editor and a stylist for a fabric house. For a while, she owned a boutique in Connecticut, along with another soap opera actress, Lori March of "The Secret Storm." These days, in between tapings for "The Doctors," she lives in an early 1800s white clapboard house in Bridgewater, Conn., with her fourth husband, Angus Thurrott, who is in real estate. She enjoys playing the meddling mother-in-law and hopes the show's writers will keep her alive. "But I've already had two heart attacks. A third one might kill me."
