I recall Chelsea handler had her on...and she kept going on and on about how much she loved Santa Barbara...and even finding Kelly cap well in the phone book and calling her....and Robin wright had this stunned and shell shocked look on her face.  But the kicker was how Chelsea pointed out that she got princess bride cause rob reined watched SB...and Robin wright basically said that was sad he watched the show.

 

Much like Meg Ryan, she's an ungrateful twat when it comes to her soap background. Sadly, not everyone can be proud of their time in daytime like Julianne Moore is.

Some of her co-stars like A Martinez, Richard Eden (Brick) and Robert Thaler (Pearl) have praised her to the skies. Ironically, Mark Arnold said that along with A and Marcy, she was amongst his favorite co-stars. A said on FB once that he and his wife ran into Robin several years ago and had a joyous reunion. Page Moseley (Dylan Hartley) didn't share those sentiments, as he told in an interview from a few years ago: http://santabarbara-online.com/InterviewPMoseley2.htm

Or Nathan Fillion, Judith Light, etc....

The only time I liked SB was when the Walker family was on with Forry Smith, Sydney Penny, Eric Close and Kim Zimmer...

 

 

 

 

in my opinion, Marcy Walker had the best couple, but Robin Wright was the best actress from that show. I've been seeing episodes from 1986 1988 and I'm really impressed.

She's fantastic as Kelly. I cannot understand why some people prefer Carrington Garland. She is not bad but Robin is a master acting class compared to CG.

I thought the Walker family was a good idea...because the show needed a middle class family to balance out the Cap wells.  The problem was that they were focused on too quickly at the expense of the capwells.

 

That said, I actually liked Kim Zimmer better here then on GL.  She was still a little over the top, but she was also more grounded...playing a cop...and the scenes where she felt guilt not recognizing the signs that her daughter was abused when she'd been a cop were acted well.

 

The problem the show had was that it was too hinged on Cruz/Eden...and once Eden left...the show never recovered.  If modern soaps could watch a past soap to show what not to do....Santa Barbara should be a template of how focusing on one couple without developing long term supporting characters can kill a show long term.

 

 

As much as I loved Reva....Kim was better in the role. Her character wasn't so over the top like Reva and loved her relationship with her children and husband.

Apparently, it never occurred to her that if Rob Reiner hadn't watched her on SB, she never would have gotten the movie role that put her on the map. I think a lot of her bitterness about the show stems with Dane being let go so early into the show's run, and maybe her relationship with him in general. Or maybe she was upset when Marcy Walker (who in 1984 was already a seasoned soap actress with a couple of Emmy nominations under her belt) came on a couple of months into the show's run and became the show's leading lady (it was almost all Kelly/Joe pre-Eden). Whatever the reason, SB opened up a lot of doors for Robin Wright. Regardless of her personal feelings towards the Dobsons or anyone else for the show, she should be grateful for what the show did for her. Maybe Julianne Moore should shake some sense into her.

I don't think this is her but just wanted to check - is this Carrington Garland in the Avis ad?

 

 

@DRW50, the actress sure looks and sounds like Carrington Garland. I just don't know for sure.

She looks a bit old to be her but it reminds me a lot of her, especially at the end. 

 

I guess she isn't on FB or anything to where we could ask...

 

Sad that there's so little material of her outside of SB in the first place.

I think she is on FB, though I am not connected with her. Plus, she didn't give up acting until a few years after this commercial aired.

Just seen it. That's not Carrington Garland.

Here's a pic of Carrington Garland from 2014. 

She still looks very pretty. On SB, her resemblance to Marcy Walker was uncanny.

Thanks. She hasn't changed much. 

Out of all the deaths on SB...this ranks as the most memorable.
