Man, why did Marcy Walker's hair have to be so short as Liza Colby on All My Children in the early '80s?

I don't recall that style being at all popular at the time, but I guess it was done to clearly delineate Liza as an unsympathetic, harsh type in contrast to Jenny, with the long 'heroine' locks.

Paul, do you remember if Liza Colby was introduced before Jenny Gardner?  Judging from stuff I've read, Liza may have been introduced in January 1981.  It's my understanding that Jesse Hubbard was.

 

BTW, it's unfortunate that Darnell Williams, Debbi Morgan, and Marcy Walker apparently couldn't make it to the All My Children reunion that took place on the Hallmark Channel's Home & Family show earlier this year.  I wonder if footage of Marcy as Liza would've been shown at all if Michael E. Knight hadn't agreed to participate.

Wanted to bring up "AMC" reunion on "Home & Family"

Arlene ''dancing'' to Pebbles makes me laugh.
(Btw, I didn't know Skye aired 'til March.  I have always read she left in February.  Could the airdate be wrong??)

 

In 1961, James Mitchell was in a short film by GM (the car company) showing their new cars. It's pretty interesting-not the usual "here's our new cars" thing.

 

 

This is a fun Q&A with Susan Lucci on the campus of UCLA, circa 1983.  Audio only.

 

 

Thank you for finding that.

 

One of the strengths of the show was the community feeling amongst the citizens of Pine Valley.

 

On the Y and R board, the strength of that show was the lack of character interactions...where people lives ran on separate lanes.

 

So I often wonder if Bill bell could have written AMC...with it's strong emphasis on community and all character interactions.

Makes you wonder how Y&R would've been if Agnes wrote it

OMG. First Terrence and First An LI...almost forgot they weren't originally portrayed by Dondre Whitfield and Lindsay Price.
