amybrickwallace Members Share Posted January 16 Nic also said on FB a few years back that he and John Considine were the pranksters of AW. He said they got into trouble with Paul Rauch so much it was like being called into the principal's office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~bl~ Members Share Posted January 16 Considering everything he has done, I hope there is a lot of dirt and he isn't too polite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SFK Members Share Posted January 20 A hardcover of Eight Years in Another World is a rare expensive find, so I wanted to share that it's available for Kindle. I just bought a cyber copy for a little under ten bucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nic wrote some beautiful words of tribute on FB about GR after the latter passed in 2013. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AbcNbc247 Members Share Posted January 21 For anyone who's watching the AW reunion, the building that housed the AW studio is still standing. However, it's now a self storage facility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She is extremely bitter about their relationship and he (under the pseudonym Richard Forest) is portrayed as horrible.   So far there haven't been any mentions of Another World backstage or his costars. However there was a chapter about how Jacqueline Kennedy engaged him to teach JFK Jr to scuba dive.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know neither of these folks personally and it could very well be that he is horrible but I have been around long enough to know former romantic partners are very very rarely the best witness of someone's character. Breakups can warp people's perceptions of people and interpretation of events that until then were not problematic. Take the gossip with a grain of salt, me says. Anybody who knows a divorced couple knows as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anybody who knows a divorced couple knows as much.  Absolutely. Everything is through the lens of how she has to fight him for alimony while he's making good money. And to be clear, the "horrible" behavior in the flashbacks of the marriage is generally selfishness and lack of consideration.  Coster and his wife were in this Geritol commercial:   Edited January 23 by Xanthe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Khan Members Share Posted January 23 "My wife. I think I'll keep her." Â That, along with "I'm Cheryl -- Fly me!," has to be one of the most misogynistic ad campaigns ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amybrickwallace Members Share Posted January 23 The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle, as is mostly the case in breakups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
