RIP Jane. She sounded like a great lady

A great lady. She will be missed. I loved her as Angela in Falcon Crest.

RIP. I loved Jane as Angela Channing on FALCON CREST.

RIP Jane, I just watched her in a movie yesterday "Here Comes The Groom". I loved her as an actress. She was great in Falcon Crest.

I remember seeing repeats of Falcon Crest with my cousins....Jane Wyman was a hoot as Angela.....

Jane Wyman was a wonderful award winning actress and a very gracious lady. I truly admired her when her exhusband became our president and she was careful about what she had to say about him. After he died she said he was a great man. I loved her movies and watched almost all of them.

ALl That Heaven Allows is one of my fave movies. RIP

The first role I remember seeing her in was playing Aunt Polly Harrington in Hayley Mills' first film, Pollyanna.

Besides the fact that All That Heaven Allows was one of the first cases of an older leading lady (and by that time Wyman was actually seen as past her prime to star in A Level movies--her surprise success in Doug Sirk's earlier over the top sudser, Magnificent Obssession proved them awrong and led her to being cast in Sirk's subtler but even better Heaven Allows) being cast wiht a younger leading man. In 1950s Hollywood if you were past your early 30s you really were pretty much washed up as far as romantic leads in Hollywood--yet Wyman entered into the second phase of her career with no problems (Falcon Crest being the third phase IMHO)

BTW any classic soap fan owes it to themselves to see the four great Doug Sirk 1950s melodramas--he made the "women's picture' into an art form and any soap scribe could do worse than steal from him. they are Magnificent Obssession (the most over the top but sadly not yet on DVD it seems), All That Heaven Allows, the pre-Dallas Written in the Wind (my fave) and Imitation of Life

Jane Wynman's own eulogy to FC will always best be my fondest memory of her:

"Here's to you Falcon Crest and long may you live."
