All My Children Tribute Thread

[Pine Charles]

Thanks for the info!

Yes, I'm about 99% sure that it's Margo.

Wasn't she the actress with the real life facelift and they incororated it into a story? I believe the year was 1974.

Yup, that's her, she looks almost exactly like that in the Cosby Show episode she did.

Thank you! Sometimes these photos don't say who it is in them or leave out names, so sometimes I'm not sure of who the person is.

[AMCHistory]

I think this one is a little easier to ID.

AMCHistory- Thank you so much! I wanted to write down who everyone was but didn't know all the names so thank you!

[AMCHistory]

No, thank you for posting! These are true gems, we are so fortunate to see them!

A few Questions. Where can I see the original Brooke?? Are there any videos or pictures?? Who is Margo Flax?!? And is Claudette Montgomery related to Travis or Jackson??

[Jonathan]

No, she's not. The show missed an opportunity to tie these three characters together, especially given the history between Erica and Claudette (they were rivals).

[All My Shadows]

Margo Flax was a friend Erica met when she moved to New York to be a model in 1972. They were roommates when Erica became involved with Jason Maxwell (while still married to Jeff). After Jason was murdered, Erica moved back to Pine Valley and Margo tagged along, eventually falling in love with Paul Martin, who was already knee deep in a love polygon with Anne, Nick, and Kitty. Margo suffered from low self-esteem and body image, and she had a facelift (coinciding with the actress's real life facelift) to attract Paul's attention.

Claudette was Margo's daughter, who was on the show for a number of years, but no one ever seems to have comprehensive knowledge of her storylines, if she had any.

[AMCHistory]

Here is the orginal Brooke (Elissa Leeds) with my favourite Chuck Tyler (Richard Van Vleet)

Margo Flax was a former model, and one time houseguest of the Kane home. Margo was the one time lover of Jason Maxwell, Erica's new agent and lover. She would eventually marry Paul Martin, and go so far as to attempt to murder Anne Tyler to keep him.

here is a longer bio: http://pinevalleybulletin.com/Quick%20Guide/BiographiesWeb/FlaxMargo.html

Here is a better pic of Margo:

Claudette Montgomery is Margo's daughter, who eventually would go on to work at The Chateau. She was most famous for being part of the drug storyline involving Kelly Cole and Eddie Dorrance. She was Eddie's real killer, but was willing to see Kelly go to prison for it. She and Lincoln had a relationship after he married Kitty and before he married Kelly. Susan Plantt Wilson was the most famed for the role. Here is a picture of her and Warren Burton as Eddie:

Claudette is the one who killed Eddie Dorrance too if I'm not mistaken. I think everyone thought it was Kelly but it turned out to be Claudette.

edit: AMCHistory beat me to it!

A few more photos I want to share:

Another photo of Nigel and Myrtle Fargate; I think the picture Adeleide posted was a real treat!

Ruth and a very cute baby Jake, at Bobby Warner's birthday party.

Benny making a move on a "young and impressionable" Brooke

Myrtle and her "children" at Phoebe's funeral.

[AdelaideCate007]

Great pictures!

Kelly, Linc, and Kitty were Myrtle's children far more than Rae ever was (I hated that lame story and rewrite)

[All My Shadows]

I didn't realize that was Nigel! I've never seen any pictures of him, so yes, both photos are real treats.

That pic of Kelly, Linc, and Myrt is a treasure, too. It must have been a very emotional moment for the three of them to be reunited after so many years.
