Members Jagger1966 Posted February 3, 2020 Members Share Posted February 3, 2020 I remember seeing Last Summer when I was about 14. It was pretty shocking to my teen-age self. I always wondered why Catherine Burns never had a huge acting career. I also didn't know that she had passed away. RIP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 4, 2020 Members Share Posted February 4, 2020 That was a hard article to read...my heart broke for her. I'm glad she was able to find the seclusion and hopefully happiness she deserved. I'm glad at least one clip of her on OLTL is around. You can see her talent even here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 How long did Burns play Cathy ? I think I read somewhere she had another short term role on the show in the 80's. She was hilarious in an episode of Love American Style. She played a woman on her honeymoon and becomes addicted to gambling and spends her wedding night at the craps table as her husband whines. I think she and Richard Thomas were an item during the early 70's. She guest starred in an episode of The Walton's around that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 I wonder if that's why he doesn't talk about the movie. Wikipedia says she was on from 69-70. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 The thing is, if she were coming along today, 1) Catherine Burns' career would explode like a rocket; 2) people would be giving the media way more [!@#$%^&*] for making unflattering remarks about her appearance; and 3) the attention surrounding her and her career would be even more intrusive, thanks to social media, the paparazzi and websites like TMZ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Cathy Craig was a role that kept being recast. Whether it was due to actors leaving or TPTB not happy with some of then J don't know. Maybe someone has more info? Looking at that clip makes me wish there had been more effort to keep the families going. Killing off Meredith and then Victor, not committing to Tony Lord, giving Larry only one child, dropping Cathy. Maybe Vinnie and Wanda could have adopted etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 That's interesting she was still doing the soap when that movie took off. There seemed to be a lot of actors with promising careers from those days that show up a lot on old TV shows and their careers fizzled out. Another actor that faded also with the last named " Burns" was Michael Burns. He played in tons of stuff back then. He played Moondoggie in the film 1972 TV film "Gidget Get's Married" with Macdonald Carey. Soap vets William Gray Espy, Judith McConnell, and Helen Funai also appeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BuckyB12 Posted February 11, 2020 Members Share Posted February 11, 2020 Interesting but not surprising that The Hollywood Reporter thought it was ok to mention that she wrote for Guiding Light years later, but not that she had a role on OLTL in the sixties, which might have spoiled the "she coulda been a contendah" narrative of her overlooked acting talent by the film industry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
