Members SFK Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 I understand. I will miss the old title though (which I've already forgotten Fabulously Stylish Women of Daytime?)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 You mean the guy making out with the woman outside (while the other woman watches)? He played Brian Bodine on AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 That's it! Thanks, I knew I knew him from AMC. Wow, could he and Matt Borlenghi be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 It didn't make any sense to me either -- that and Sam probably never should have returned, as his story was over. Perhaps they knew he'd taken over for a brooding guy with dark hair once already, or they knew Brian on AMC was a country singer (wasn't he?) so they could use him again on AW. Oops, he was on AW before AMC. So maybe AMC hired him for those reasons... Didn't he have a big role in that Circuit movie that got a lot of hype/derision in gay movie circles in the late 90s? Kind of random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 I know this is a Joan forum so am posting it here After her Dynasty singing debut, I am not sure Joan Collins really belongs in a cabaret act. I was actually following links which led me to Lynday Carter which led me to this. Daytime Fan, maybe in the plastic surgery thread you can discuss Lynda Carter's wonder looks.

Members bellcurve Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 Wait....so THIS is the Stylish Magnetic Business Woman thread?! They renamed it "Great Women of Soaps"? Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'm assuming Joan's act is pretty much a carry over of the touring engagement she had in the UK. Probably minimal if any singing, but yes of course this is Feinstein's so one would expect at least a little warbling. I saw Lynda Carter on one of the morning shows being interviewed about WW a while back, she looked amazing. There's something about those dark brunettes like Lynda, Joan, Susan, Dixie Carter, et al, who hit a second wind of attractiveness in their 50s... where one appreciates their looks even more as they've earned them. Growing up, Lynda was pretty much our area's sole claim to Hollywood fame. She and her family live in posh Potomac, MD (home to Darren Star, where he was inspired to create 90210) and were neighbors to the Kennedy-Shrivers. Almost everyone has their Lynda-sighting at the mall story. She gained local, even national, infamy for a while there when her husband Robert Altman (not THAT Robert Altman) found himself in a bit of legal hot water.

Members quartermainefan Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 I don't think there was anyone prettier than Lynda Carter during her WW days. The eyes, the smile..the woman is amazing. I am not sure who Susan is, but I would not put Dixie Carter in the same sentence with Lynda, and as pretty as Joan Collins is, she is no Lynda Carter either. To compete with Lynda Carter circa 1977 or so, you have to be like at Jaclyn Smith in Charlies Angels levels of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 I don't usually do this but what the heck... +1 Lynda Carter was my first ever TV crush when I was 6 (in 1989 that is, Wonder Woman was being rerun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 I wanted to BE Wonder Woman when I was a kid. But the local toy store sold out of WW costumes. So I made myself the WW crown and bangles from cardboard, fashioned an outfit from some blue underpants and red T-shirt, and used a piece of rope as my lasso. Wunduh WOO-maaaaaan! Lynda Carter may not have been a Shakespearean actress, but she had "it," warmth, presence and a captivating smile. She still has those things actually. Can't believe somebody changed the titled of thsi thread. Why? It makes no sense. In honor of Stylish and Magnetic Women and the fact that I am watchng early 90s AW... OK, so Iris looks like she is wearing somebody's curtains but.. it was the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 I just loved Carmen Duncan and Anna Stuart...they're what this thread is all about: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 I love those promo shots -- so glam and yet also unique and edgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 1, 2010 Members Share Posted November 1, 2010 Susan is Lucci. I think Dixie looked great mid-'80s-early '90s after she'd had her face done. Around the time Lynda was battling alcoholism, she'd gained a bit of weight and cut her hair shorter and did not look as sensational as she looks even today, so the beauty of any of these ladies ebbs and flows, but I totally see where you're coming from. Lynda's in that tall, lean, goddess category. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rm5TBE-7qk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I love them too. I think the key is that the Great Women of Soaps, the Best of Stylish, Magnetic Women in Daytime all had their own identities. They had their own looks, they had attitude, they had spirit, they had personality. They LIVED. They were active agents in control of their own destiny. The only shows that put women in that kind of role are B&B and DAYS with AMC to a lesser extent (and that's only in regards to Erica Kane).

Members DRW50 Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 And they were survivors. You don't have that on soaps now. If a woman survives, it means a man saves her from psycho of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
