Oh, dear. Something must be very wrong with me if Gloria Monty and I are in agreement.
But seriously. I think it was the way Mary O'Brien would deliver her lines that irritates me whenever I watch old clips on YT. To me, she always sounds like one of those flighty chicks who'd hang around the Sweathogs on "Welcome Back, Kotter."
Even when her Heather is at her most cunning, plotting to drive Diana Taylor insane so she could get back Steven Lars, I never can take her seriously. (At best, I roll my eyes at her like I do at Lucy Coe/Lynn Herring). She couldn't cry for [!@#$%^&*], her hair and wardrobe were the cringiest of cringe and her LSD-induced breakdown is just about the most laughable performance ever, too. (She's supposed to be trippin' balls, y'all, not turning into the female Charly Gordon.)
That's why I prefer Robin Mattson's Heather to anyone else's; her Heather might have been harder and more noir-ish, but she meant business!
