When I wrote to Kelli Maroney and sent a photo for her to autograph, I picked a screen cap of her on FF!! I remember watching one FF where it was RH against GH (I think it was GH, it might have been OLTL, it's been a long time and I don't even know if it is still up on YT). Anyway, I remember howling when Helen Gallagher came out in what was known as the infamous "mauve" dress - the one Maeve wore for EVERY dress-up occasion.

There was a little tidbit in a soap magazine about another time when RH actors were on Family Feud and the question was what would you miss most if stranded alone on a desert island -- Nancy Addison answered "constructive criticism".

Needless to say her castmates were not thrilled with her answer. LOL!

I love your Chiffon avatar!!!

Does FF stand for Frances Fisher?

Family Feud

Helen Gallagher (Maeve) singing and talking about theater and soap operas on The MikeDouglas Show in 1979.

She's wearing Maeve's dress!

Yup, and she wore it on FF!!!! That dress sure got a lot of use!!!!

In one of her early RH interviews, Helen said her mother made her RL clothes – perhaps those were just everyday type clothes and not for special TV appearances.

Recent clip of Kathleen Tolan (Mary #3) talking about her love for theater and writing.

Hmmm, I never knew that about Helen/Maeve's clothes. It certainly makes sense.

Thanks also for the Kathleen Tolan interview. She looks happy and healthy, and I'm glad she has found a livelihood she likes so much.

I thought she looked good, too – and after the physical illness problems she had at RH, it was great she was able to find another way to express her creativity.

Exactly.

I may be nuts, but I think young actress Eden Sher (who plays Sue Heck on ABC's The Middle) looks a lot like Sarah Felder in her RH days. She also has the same kind of energy that Sarah brought to RH.

Ms. Tolan was my favorite of all the six plus actress to play Mary.

what Illness? I never heard this before.

what Illness? I never heard this before.

I meant that Kathleen would be so nervous before taping her RH scenes that she would become physically ill (diarrhea, throwing up, and stomach aches).
