Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 26, 2021 Members Share Posted February 26, 2021 Last time I remember hearing her talk about her soap days was a couple years ago on a show called "Uncensored" on TV One. It wasn't that long ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bill Bauer Posted March 2, 2021 Members Share Posted March 2, 2021 I don't think so. I think it just looks like her a bit. I could be wrong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 2, 2021 Members Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks. I wasn't sure either - it's annoying as she looks so familiar to me. Anyway, here is Anna Maria Horsford: Fortified Oat Flakes Cereal Commercial (Mid-1970s) - YouTube 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 3, 2021 Members Share Posted March 3, 2021 Did anyone catch the Black History Month discussion he had with former actors of GL? I'm checking it out now. I like the actors so I decided to give it a view. Sorry, I forgot to say where--The Locher Room on YouTube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 Locher is the wrong person to host such a discussion. He's so awkward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) A prissy white queen like Locher is totally wrong. Being an inept interviewer is also a hinderance. Edited March 4, 2021 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 Which is why I said that I watched because of the actors involved. Do I wish some other soap adjacent person had hosted? Yes, but sadly no one else did and I stull think the actors themselves had interesting things to say about the topics they discussed. More than this, I wish someone would have hosted a livestream or video discussion on the blindspots as well as the bright spots of AA characterization and involvement in daytime soaps, but no one with a platform seems interested in having that discussion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 Ellen Holly (wasnt she a judge on GL) hosting would have been great...but then, no one else would have gotten a word in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 On Alan Locher's Instagram he has reported Gil Rogers (Hawk Shayne) passed away on March 2nd. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Sad news. Gil was a consistent highlight for me when he played Hawk, even though on paper the character would not have amounted to much. He and Marj Dusay even made the "Queenie" banter charming, somehow. That was when I first warmed to Marj as Alex. His best was usually saved for scenes with "Sister" (Reva) - Gil and Kim Zimmer had something special. Even though he wasn't there for the finale I'm glad they had Hawk return briefly in that last year. Edited March 5, 2021 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 This is indeed sad news. Before many GL and ATWT videos were forced down (or coerced), I was watching a lot of GL and even revisiting the late 80s and early 90s we era and I enjoyed Hawke's relationship with his kids, especially Reva and Roxie. Just last year, or the end of 2019, I read his Wikipedia entry and couldn't help but notice his advanced years but thought it was great that he was still around and kicking. Now, that has changed. At least, we still have his performances. R.I.P. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
