Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 Sorry to hear this. While I know he had some regrets about the show later on, I loved his work as Nicholas Blair. He and Lara made some very thin scripts tolerable in the Cassandra/vampire Angelique period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 16, 2016 Members Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'd never seen this before - it's a short interview toward the end of this, Joan Bennett talking about nearly being cast as Scarlett O'Hara. It's a few years before she died, and I tend to wonder if it was filmed when she was at a Dark Shadows convention, as I recognize the outfit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVcths8K8RI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 10, 2017 Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks for posting those, Carl. Lara Parker had such beautiful hair that it was only natural for her to appear in a shampoo commercial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Scrapple Posted October 30, 2017 Members Share Posted October 30, 2017 TMC aired both Dark Shadows movies last night. The first "House Of Dark Shadows" was very good. The second , "Night Of Dark Shadows"...not so much. "House" kind of put the whole Barnabas saga in a nutshell, with better special effects and no bloopers. "Night" had no Barnabas, only Quentin as a lead, and a ponderous pace. It was interesting to see "Introducing Kate Jackson" in the credits, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 30, 2017 Members Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think it would have just as rabid a (pardon the pun) fan base. The acting and writing still holds up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
