Yes, it is. It is a yellow cover, and other soap stars of the day on the cover are James Mitchell and Joel Crothers. Thanks!!

Speaking of Virginia Vestoff, here she is with William Daniels at the Tonys singing "Yours, Yours, Yours" from 1776:

TV Yearbook circa early 1969.

Amy Jennings is listed as Molly Jennings. The character was called Molly prior to the first episode on which she appeared.

I honestly thought Denise "Violet, you're turning violet, Violet!" Nickerson was David Henesy for a second up there.

Clarice Blackburn, pictured here from Dark Shadows, later joined the cast of As the World Turns.

Lela Swift, who directed and, later, produced produced Dark Shadows, has passed away.

Sad to hear this. She also directed Ryan's Hope for many years.

RIP.

Between DS and RH, I've gotten to see a lot of her work. I think she's one of the few behind-the-scenes people who lasted the entire run of Ryan's Hope, even with all of the regime changes in the 80s. I guess everyone knew how important she was to the show (just as she was to Dark Shadows).

 

David Selby posted some nice comments on his blog.

Actor John McConnell, who played the constable in the early episodes of Dark Shadows, has passed away at the age of 91.   He also had roles on The Edge of Night, The Secret Storm, Love of Life, and the title role on Young Doctor Malone.

 

I never heard about that 1991 revival ever being planned for a movie.

The DECADES network is airing a Dark Shadows marathon this weekend...
