2 hour (!) Video Interview with Agnes Nixon online

Marlena De Lacroix mentioned this in the comments to her online article about ANgie and Jesse and I thought some people here who would find it interesting might miss it--I assume it's ok to post. Someone (I'm thinking the lady is Miss De Lacroix herself) did an intensive, immense interview with Agnes Nixon on her history of soap operas for the TV Archives - a really important document. And it's all online, although it's divided into shorter sections it still took me a while to get through it--lotsa fascinating stuff about how writing for soaps has changed, etc (I think this was done ten or so years back?)

There are over 800 videos on youtube now from the Live Archive of TV--interviews like this. Incredible resource

It *is* an incredible resource. And when I have a couple hours spare, I am going to check out Marlena's intensive interview of Agnes Nixon.

However, I noticed the other day that WashesWhiter is no longer on YouTube and all his/her videos have been purged. I find this heartbreaking. This poster was an indispensible resource on his own. I had been checking out some of the Another World clips he had posted featuring Steve Frame, Alice and Rachel. The intensity, anger, depth of feeling and romance of this triangle was beyond description. No surprise -- Agnes Nixon herself wrote it.

On part 3 now--wow when she started OLTL she was still writing AW and the amount of control P&G had they wouldnt' even let her have a black character be ROOMATES with another woman who was white--a reason she loved the freedom at ABC.

Weren't those clips from when Harding Lemay wrote it (and they were AWESOME) or were some clips with RobiNS trasser as Rachel actually posted!! If so I can't believe I missed them!

I managed to save his post of a 1969 OLTL episode... I wonde rhwen he left--I saw him online just a bit back...

Jack, I thought it was Marlena (and the woman introducing herslef was the "true" marlena0 just cuz Marlena mentioned that *she* did the interview.
