AMC articles, interviews, behind the scenes

[EricMontreal22]

Haha I'd be interested in reading it all, but I have patience.

[AMCHistory]

Oh, I would love to see the entire issue!

Agnes Nixon interview, and an interview with the author of THAT book...

[DRW50]

[EricMontreal22]

HAHAH I think Sylph only objcts when I bring up THAT book, you can prob mention its name. Great piece--the finished book doesn't have more than a paragraph on Dickens and the serialized novels of the 1800s--I wonder if more was cut out. (And interesting that of course he went on to create the short lived primetime teen drama James at 15 and then was meant to HW and co create Loving with Agnes--another thing we seem likely to never know what exactly happened with... I wonder at what point he stopped watching AMC, as I can't assume he watches it still)

Are these all from the same magazine? And what exact magazine was it--a special for AMC?

[DRW50]

I just wanted to make sure, I know some don't want to hear it

This is all from a Daytime TV Library magazine devoted to AMC. It has interviews with behind the scenes people, actors, and a history of the show up to that time. Like I said before any particular thing you're interested in let me know.

And going back to the previous article I didn't realize Jean Dadario (aka Jean Dadario Burke) was a part of AMC way back then...

LOL what year was it from?

[DRW50]

I didn't check directly but I assume somewhere around 75-76.

Yeah, it's 76.

[EricMontreal22]

Oh and in the first page of the cast photo--who's the dude with the beard? I think I can place everyone else...

[DRW50]

I think it's Paul Gleason?

[Paul Raven]

The bearded guy is David Thornton who fell in love with Ruth, who was torn between him and Joe. Obviously she would choose Joe because David had a beard.

He was Dottie's father. Was there ever any mention of him by Edna and dottie when they were on?

[EricMontreal22]

Thanks! Actually I lied, I'm not sure about three other faces. One is the blond woman in the middle of the left side of the picture with all the jewelry (she's not Margo is she?), also the young blond at the far right of the right side of the pic, as well as the guy in the plaid behind Frank...

[Paul Raven]

The woman is Margo (Eileen Letcworth) post facelift. The guy in the plaid shirt is Dan Hamilton who played Hal Shea- Kitty's ex? He was (is) married to Stephanie Braxton (Tara) and father to Josh Hamilton who played Charlie.

As for the blonde woman could that be Margo's daughter Claudette?

[DRW50]

That's Margo. The guy is Dan Hamilton, not sure who he played. The blonde is Paulette Breen - she was Claudette (who killed Eddie or whoever), wasn't she?

There are a few other behind the scenes things I will put up later.

Stephanie Braxton says she doesn't like Tara very much. I wonder if any of the actresses did. I have never understood how such a pivotal role got so lost in the woods.

[EricMontreal22]

Hahah I think I've only seen Margo pre facelift... Wow umm facelifts back then weren't especially subtle were they.

Well while I'm not sure why Karen Lynn Gorney's career seemed to disappear after Sat Night Fever (imdb has no credits for her for like 15 years after it), and by all accounts she's slightly, umm, nutty now, she's practicually begged to have the role again, after her mid 90s cameos (wonder if she was approached for the anniversary episode last year at all...)
