I guess Dorian was de-aged after Nancy Pinkerton, because she looks mature here. All of the Dorian actresses were solid including the femme faltale sexpot take played by Claire Malis in the previously posted 1977 episode. Loved her scenes with the lawyer.

Does anyone know WEHT Tony's Place, where he, Wanda, etc. work in the '70s? Did it end up being handed over to Wanda as one of her many future establishments? Reinholt is quite good with Marilyn Chris and Lee Patterson (who he allegedly drove nuts). If he hadn't been so self-destructive he could've had a strong safe harbor at the show for many years.

I mean people do age differently now (I even read a scientific study that said part of this has to do with the increase in life expectancy.)  There's a reason no one would cast a modern production of Sunset Blvd with a 50 year old actress.  But I admit I still was surprised to look up just how old both actresses were... 

Was that after Robin Strasser was cast?  Because I was gonna say with Claire Mallis' Dorian I would have had no doubt she'd sleep with Matt.

I also think the inflated cost of living which keeps young people at home longer infantilizes our perception of young people in their mid-20s and early thirties.

But just like Laura on GH, Viki (and this Dorian) on OLTL were dressed very mature for their ages. 

Im so far loving Pinkerton's portrayal. She has a very old Hollywood/primetime quality about her acting. I don't think there was a single week actress to play Dorian. Pinkerton,Malis, Strasser and Princi were all superb.
