Members amybrickwallace Posted September 14, 2021 Members Share Posted September 14, 2021 She did. It's pretty remarkable that not only was the role of Nola successfully cast three times, but all three actresses went on to show biz success after TD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted September 14, 2021 Members Share Posted September 14, 2021 Yep, TD did a great job in casting that character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 14, 2021 Members Share Posted September 14, 2021 I think it helped that her characterization was fairly steady. Sara was all over the map, which is why I think they cut their losses after Dorothy Fielding chose to leave rather than try for Sara #3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted September 14, 2021 Members Share Posted September 14, 2021 I don't think you ever disliked her more when she recorded that stupid tape message to Colin!! Alas, after all that trouble, he never heard the tape or even knew it existed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted September 14, 2021 Members Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) I enjoyed when she collapsed in the elevator and the door kept hitting her! Edited September 14, 2021 by jam6242 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 14, 2021 Members Share Posted September 14, 2021 Yeah, that was supposed to be a sad/serious moment that became unintentionally hilarious!! Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Carolee Campbell in 'This Is My Son' in 1977. Was it an Afternoon tv special? Can't find anything about it. This seems to be the only acting Carolee did after leaving The Doctors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Seems like it was a tv-movie about having a down's syndrome baby. It won a "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Religious Programming" at the Daytime Emmy's in 1978, so take of that from what you will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Carolee Campbell herself won an Emmy in that category for this movie. I think she appeared in one more play (with David O'Brien, no less) and that was it for her show biz career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted September 22, 2021 Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 @Paul RavenCarolee's movie was a Sunday afternoon special and, as was mentioned above, it was about the baby having Down syndrome.

Members amybrickwallace Posted September 22, 2021 Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 That was an awesome scene. Jami Fields was one of the best juvenile performers the show ever had. Not only could she play all facets of Penny believably, but she was able to hold her own with both Liz Hubbard and Gerald Gordon. That's talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted September 22, 2021 Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 She's really good because she makes me loathe Penny, lol! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 22, 2021 Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 True, but neither Althea nor Nick laid down the law with her until it was too late! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted September 23, 2021 Members Share Posted September 23, 2021 Thanks Jam for the info re 'This Is My Son'. Variety reported in Oct 63 that cancellation of TD was imminent due to low ratings. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
