I remember reading that in SOD and the only reason it remotely worked in my head was that I could picture her ill and frail in bed (on a pillow of her flowing Jessica Tate hair) like Dimitra Arliss as Helena.

And the reason why the *other* Michael Fox had to add the J. when he joined the union.

Wow, I cannot see that at all.

Jaime is giving me everything in that family photo. Acting her ass off in a still shot.

Agreed, the show (from what I have seen of the era) was reminiscent of taped British programs you see on PBS.

Yes, I have seen it... and you can too! For only $19.95... but seriously, there are some classic episodes at the Paley Center where you can see a kinescoped version of the opening. I bet it looked great in color.

I remember that!

From Holly to Dorian, an actor's life...

You posted something in the AWA thread the other day, I had no idea that Rise Stevens was his mom.

Classic! He has such little shorts and she has such huge pants. Fun time to be a NY soap star. Wish we could see more of Claire, I bet at least a year of her run still exists. Richard was Viki's first cousin/Dorian's nephew I guess? Wasn't his mom Gwendolyn, Victor's sister?

You are welcome. I know, when she was talking about making friends for life and living as long as your mate, it just broke my heart. And I love the amount of genuine affection she obviously had for the show.

Do we know why Christine left to begin with?

Ohhh, I think I have read about that show, didn't a lot of soap stars make appearances? When I read about it I was confused because I wasn't sure if it was an infomercial.

Barbara Baxley was an Actors Studio actor. I believe she originated Natalya in that infamously disastrous production of The Three Sisters (directed by Lee Strasberg) before being replaced with Shelley Winters.

I know! I thought to myself, Maybe this would be funny if I spoke Italian... or maybe not. What is most impressive to me is the love LOVING obviously got over there to even inspire such a parody. That is too bad about Elizabeth, and I didn't know she had a chat show. Hadn't laid eyes on her since the original run. She is as feline as I remember and I'm thinking she would have made for one helluva vixenish Melinda opposite Robin Strasser in the 1990s, all that flaming red hair between them.

Special thanks to SamClegg for these uploads.

A nicely produced scene. They had me at Myrna stepping out of her two-toned Rolls-Royce Corniche in a full-length fox. This is the only time I have seen Myrna have a tender moment with (still thought to be dead) Baxter, her first love.

Carolyn @2:35. You can tell she had really started going down.

Italian packaged preview of series 1 finale Look at those church scenes! Not to mention the hangar. $$$

Some newly uploaded vids (in Italian): Beginning of primetime movie premiere Myrna's masseuse (don't you love the doves-to-hands?) went on to play Deacon Frye's (Sherman Hemsley) housekeeper who had a crush on him in Amen. This is all I have ever seen of Robert Sampson as Sam. I saw this in its entirety (in English) on WoST. I hope it makes it to YouTube.

Keep your eyes peeled for Ilene Kristen, Harvey Fierstein, Anthony Herrera, and Elizabeth Savage. And Egypt and Minnie! Kate's wig.
