Members danfling Posted April 28, 2022 Members Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think that your theory that Mr. Trask never appeared onscreen is very possible, plausible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 12, 2022 Members Share Posted May 12, 2022 November 1967 Jeffrey Lynn JoinThe Secret Storm Jeffrey Lynn, stage, screen and television actor, has joined the cast of "The Secret Storm," daytime drama series in color Monday through Friday at 2 p.m. on Channel 5. . Starting Thursday, Nov. 30, he will create the running role of Charles Clemens, a wealthy newspaper publisher, whose residence in' the fictional city of Woodbridge, N.Y., with his daughter and a mentally disturbed granddaughter. Lynn is a native of Massachusetts and a graduate of Bates College, Maine. - He began his showbusiness career at the famed Barter Theater in Virginia. Later he joined the legendary "stock company" at Warner ' Brothers Studio, where he made his mark in "Four Daughters," "The Fighting 69th;" "Yes, My Darling Daughter "Million - Dollar Baby" and many other films. ". During World .War II Lynn saw service with the Army Air Force in Africa, Italy and Austria. Honorably discharged with the rank of captain, he resumed his. film career, appearing in "A Letter to Three Wives," 'Up Front" and "Butterfield 8."" He has a leading role in the current "Tony Rome," starring Frank Sinatra. November 1969 Meet Jeffrey Lynn Soaps brought him back By STAN MAYS Becausee thlngs were a little slow at the time flt e stream, and because he had an urge at the time to jointhe mainstream, actor Jeffrey Lynn, while riding the subway, became interested in a book about the real estate business. Lynn has made his share of mistakes ("In the early '50s I moved east when TV was moving west. I had no income from IV work. ) But he was to prove something to himself; he could do something else. He took the real estate test and became an agent. Ironically, since returning to California with his wife and children, to work with a firm in the San Fernando Valley, his acting career has picked up again. He gives thanks that his former agent is now in an executive post at Universal, and that he has an indulgent boss at the real estate firm. Between selling homes Lynn has worked in "The Outsider," "Ironside" and next will be seen in "Crisis," a doctors segment of "The Bold Ones" for NBC-TV. He plays a heart patient who almost dies because of a revolutionary operation performed by a flamboyant doctor. "I have to. credit a soap opera for bringing me back to TV," confesses Lynn, who, after acting in TV during the early aays, spent most of his time touring in summer stock and road shows like "Mary, Mary" and "Two for the Seesaw." "It was a great training ground for a year playing a newspaper publisher in 'Secret Storm.' " The thought brought to mind the luxury of time afforded actors working in movies years ago as opposed to TV's hurry-up pace. ' "I remember when we were making 'The Fighting 69th,' " he said. "We were all in a huge bomb crater facing the Ger mans. I was playing a green soldier in a scene with Humphrey Bogart. (He laughed, recalling how Jimmy Cagney nudged him, saying 'You'e on your own with Bogey, kid'). "Well, I supposedly get a young enemy soldier in my sights. But I can't shoot him. 'He can't be more than 16,' I say. Whereupon Bogey shoots him and mutters something. It didn't sound right. They tried another line, and that was no good. We sat around that pit an hour something you'd never do in TV while they worked on one line. They finally came up with one of Bogey's most memorable lines: 'He'll never be 17.' " Now in his late 50s, Lynn is grateful his career took the course it did: "When I was a kid in Rhode Island starting out in summer stock I asked an actor what my chances were. 'You won't starve,' he told me. And that was the only assurance I got." With Joan Crawford during her Secret Storm guest stint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 15, 2022 Members Share Posted May 15, 2022 A newspaper press release at the time mentions Dick Trask in the role of Jerry. It also mentions the show being titled 'Bright Star' which then changed to 'The Storm Within' and then shortly before airing to 'The Secret Storm" I think 'The Secret Storm' is the best of those three THE SECRET STORM, DAYTIME DRAMA SERIES DEBUTS FEB. 1 The Secret Storm, new daytime serial, makes its debut Monday, Feb. 1 (CBS Television, Mon.-thru-Fri., 3:15-3:30 p.m.) (It was previously announced under the title The Bright Star).

Members danfling Posted May 15, 2022 Members Share Posted May 15, 2022 Still another possiblity that has not been brought up is that Robert Morris was using the name Dick Trask as a professional name at the time of his being hired to play Jerry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted July 22, 2022 Members Share Posted July 22, 2022 When is this from - 1972? We have Judy Lewis as Susan, Lynne Adams as Amy, David Ackroyd as Kevin, Robert Loggia as Frank. Not sure about the woman with long dark hair, the guy in the mustard blazer or the man in check shirt and blue vest. I'm sure one of you will know! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted July 22, 2022 Members Share Posted July 22, 2022 I was actually wondering that too since my understanding was Judy Left in 1971 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted July 22, 2022 Members Share Posted July 22, 2022 The actress with the long hair and the vest is Ellen Barber. She replaced Audrey Landers as Belle's ward, Joanna Morrison Landers #2. When I first saw the man with her (last night), I had thought that it was David Ackroid as Kevin. However, that is wrong. I cannot remember who this actor or character are. I went back to see if this was Gary Sandy (Stace), but it is not he. It is also not Robert Landers (played by Dan Hamilton). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
