Members DRW50 Posted May 17, 2011 Members Share Posted May 17, 2011 I forgot to say, pages ago I posted a not all that positive Daytime TV Stars review of Search at the time Edwards was probably producer. When was the picture page from? Was it when Search was still (barely) on CBS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) The flood episode. So was Joe Lambie before or after Robert Reed? This is around the time Ryder is killed off. Do you think that was a mistake? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_TMd2lhqDo Edited May 23, 2011 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Ryder was just another in the revolving door of characters in those years.Why Carl,would you think killing him off made a difference? What is it with the name Ryder? SFT,ATWT and Y&R have all used it ,but I have yet to come across anyone with that name. It doesn't hold any appeal to me,at least.

Members DRW50 Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 I don't think it made a difference in terms of the show's fate, but I thought the actor had a very natural appeal and sincerity, and he made TR more tolerable (she seems very fake to me in the other scenes). I don't get why he was killed off. Who was Suzi again? She was ill in this episode. For some reason I thought Suzi was already gone by this time. I thought the live episode was Search's highest rated on NBC. It was the Jo kidnapping story? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Lynn and said, "This is your mother." The little girl remembers that they shook hands rather solemnly, and that she was feeling strange about suddenly acquiring a second mother on a permanent basis - not just for one part of one show, as had happened on other programs. This was to be a mother-daughter relationship "for keeps," something like the one she had with her own mother. "I liked Mary right away," she says now. "I kept getting to like her more and more as I got to know her better. I'm still getting to like her more and more - if that's possible, when already I love her so much. My Mommie loves her, too. On Mother's Day, I do double shopping and I don't even have to make two decisions. I decide on one thing, and buy two alike. Last year, it was a little dancing-girl pin. I don't quite know yet what it will be this year." As far as Mrs. Loring is concerned, she couldn't be more pleased that her little girl has acquired another mother. "As long as it's someone as fine as Mary Stuart," she adds. "Part of Lynn's life is now spent with her, and my little girl would be bound to pick up certain traits from anyone she is with so much. Mary is one of the most natural, wholesome, charming - and least vain or egotistical - women I have ever known. Watching her, Lynn will never turn into a superficial person or a vain one. We laugh about how Mary never primps, how she seldom even looks in a mirror before she goes on the set. Lynn is usually the one who looks her over and pushes back any stray hairs or fixes a fold in her skirt. Mary dresses herself carefully, and has beautiful taste in whatever she wears, and then she never fusses over her appearance. She is always careful, too, about what she says in front of Lynn, just as I am. I couldn't be happier about the example she sets for my little girl." For her part, Mary Stuart considers herself just as fortunate. "Lynn is a wonderful little girl. I haven't any children yet and when Barbara (Mrs. Loring) is busy, I love to take Lynn along with me - shopping, or sometimes in a matinee or the circus when it's in town, or a museum, or home to my apartment to sit near me and visit while I sew or cook. We don't live too far apart, which makes it easy. I buy little books for Lynn to read when I'm too busy to talk, but she's a resourceful child who can always amuse herself. We go window-shopping, sometimes the three of us - Barbra and Lynn and I - sometimes just Lynn and I together. When I gaze too long at a dress or suit in the window of my favorite shop, Lynn will grab my arm and warn, 'Remember Richard.' She means my husband, Richard Krolik, who is a television producer. Lynn is always looking after her interests! They are very good friends." Mary is making the bedspreads and drapes for Lynn's pink and green and coca room in the Lorings' new apartment. (She is also making matching mother-and-daughter costumes for them to wear on the program - skirts, blouses and little aprons.) Lynn's new room is o much bigger than the one in their old apartment that it is being divided by bookshelves into a sitting room-bedroom. Furnishings are French provincial, and the windows are also framed in bookcases - so there is ample space for her collection of more than a hundred dolls, dozens of stuffed animals, books, toys, game and all ten-year-old's heart. Lynn has the first doll the director of her first TV dramatic show gave to her, and all the other dolls she has loved as one by one they joined her family. Grownups she has worked with - including everyone on Search for Tomorrow - are always giving her little and big presents to make her round eyes dance even more than they do normally. Bess Johnson, who plays her Grandmother Barron on the program, knitted her a sweater and hat and gloves as a Christmas present - and made an identical set for one of her favorite dolls. Melba Rae, who plays Marge on the program, made one of Lynn's dolls a wonderful reversible raincoat, just like a full-size one. The men - Terry O'Sullivan, Larry Haines, Clift Hall, and all the others - are always finding surprise presents for her in their pockets. Lynn's parents are pleased by all this, but they have definite ideas about how to bring up a little girl with a big dramatic talent. As far as her father was concerned, "Charles wasn't too sure she should be an actress at all," says Lynn's mother. "Actually, she represents my own frustration at not being allowed by my parents to try my wings as an actress. When I saw signs of talent in our daughter - and I admit I was watching for them - I was determined to give her a chance. I told her that, if we never saw any signs of her becoming spoiled, then she would have to give up on being an actress. "Fortunately, Lynn is an intelligent child who understands how lucky she is, and we don't feel she has been one bit spoiled by the nice things that have happened. The stagehands play checkers with her during the waits between rehearsals and broadcasts, and I consider that one of the acid tests. Actors don't impress them at all, and they just couldn't be bothered with a 'bratty' youngster. They treat Lynn as thought she were one of their own kids." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Lynn's career began when she was four, first as a model. She was six when she auditioned for a role in a commercial film for a big electric company. The producers asked Barbara if she would leave Lynn with them and go home for some other clothes they wanted to test her in. "I'm a meticulous housekeeper, but that day I couldn't find a thing. I was so excited," Mrs. Loring recalls. "By the time I got back, Lynn had become hungry, so they had taken her to lunch and she had told them all about herself, her family, her friends, her studies. They kept whispering to me how wonderful she was. I knew it all along! Of course, she got the role, although dozens of children had been auditioned. She was calmer than I was, and not one re-take of her part was needed. Her brother Neil had been teaching her to read, and she learned the line s easily." After that, Lynn did some other commercial films, and then Barbara took her to CBS for a general audition. Lynn had had no formal dramatic training at all, but her first TV role was in pantomime, on Lamp Unto My Feet. Next, she had a dramatic part on Studio One - a real role with some lines to speak. "I was excited, but not nervous," she remembers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
