She started in 1985.

I put another ad with her a few pages back.

Thank you!

One of the show's best camp moments.

Does anyone know what Linda Fairgate's maiden name was? I can't find it.

That's where Abby was at her best - as the protective mama bear.

Oh, no. No no no no no. Abby's protective mother side was just one of her many dimensions but she was often not very good at it as well.

Abby was at her absolute best when she wanted something. Usually something she shouldn't have. When she schemed & lied so convincingly and, yet, you knew.

One of the show's best camp moments.

I have no words to describe what a great soap opera moment that is and how visually stunning it was (and that music!).

Well, I can't argue with you there!! When Abby was scheming (which was 99.9% of the time), there's no doubt it was a lot of fun to watch. But I liked her best as the protective mama, like the whole Peter Hollister thing with Olivia.

The cast of KNOTS LANDING will reunite on Thursday, December 11, on a very special episode of Hallmark Channel's HOME & FAMILY.

Dang my cable provider for not carrying the Hallmark Channel!!!

What? Lisa Hartman couldn't sing a Christmas song?

Here is a 60's episode of Peyton Place with Joan Van Ark as the nurse. Her nose is clearly different.

 

She and Michele both had those old-school rhinos. Concorde nose.

Great photo, though as usual, Joan looks kind of scary. (Why did she have to put herself through so much plastic surgery?) Still, it's great to see the gang back together again, and I'm sure it will be a fun show. (KL made its world debut just three months after I did, LOL.)
