Members tune_in_tomorrow Posted May 11, 2020 Members Share Posted May 11, 2020 I know I am with several others who wish we could have seen more of Audra Lindley's vicious take on Liz. For those of us who only know her sitcom work from the mid '70s until her death in 1999, it would definitely show a different facet to her career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted May 11, 2020 Members Share Posted May 11, 2020 Although I barely remember Lindley as Liz, I assume she was somewhat similar to Phoebe Tyler on AMC. Not as wealthy and probably not played with as much humor -- but Phoebe would probably be the best way to describe Liz, especially when Agnes Nixon was writing AW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted May 11, 2020 Members Share Posted May 11, 2020 This made me reflect that one couldn't create a character like Phoebe or Liz today without including some degree of camp. I would pin it to Alexis on Dynasty, that ever since that period it is hard to name an older female character who is just mean, without the injection of some camp (e.g. big hats, witty bon mots, boy toys). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 12, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 This shot from early in Irene's run gives an indication of Liz's character at that time - she looks quite intimidating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'd say there was a high degree of camp in Phoebe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 I was referring to early Phoebe and early Liz, before they both developed a sense of humor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 I see what you mean, but Ruth tried to bring a certain camp to the role from the start, it's just Agnes Nixon intervened for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 Does Geraldine Whitney (EON) fit your archetype, @j swift? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Yes she was, maybe for close to a year. Great photo! Edited May 12, 2020 by Neil Johnson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Aunt Liz looks so bad ass. Even Rachel looks a bit scared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'd love to see that hospital scene when Liz pinned Rachel up against the wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 How did they handle Liz's breakdown? I know it was brief but it was Mac choosing to marry Rachel that brought it on, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 Mac had been in a serious accident, and a smitten Liz (who wanted him for herself and who was deeply hurt that he was gravitating towards Rachel instead) went berserk when she thought that Mac might die. I'll never forget how vile Rachel was when she snapped at Liz to get out of her face. "I don't enjoy seeing you any more than Mac does." What a bitch. UGH.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
