Thank you for your admirable work. Joanna Roos, though, also played Mattie Lane Grimsley on The Edge of Night temporarily, probably following the death of Peggy Allenby. This show was not a soap opera, but was serial-like (The Waltons). I know that Peter Brandon had a recurring role on it, I think as Ben's father-in-law. I suppose that Victoria Dana, the character that you listed Ms. Roos as having played, was the grandmother of Phoebe Smith? I am now interested in some of the character performers: Jay Gregory, Brooks Rogers, Burt Douglas, Carol Richards, Nat Pollen, Grace Matthews, William Griffis, and the actor who played Dr. Clater on All My Children.

Wow, I never knew Madeleine Sherwood did so many soaps! I'll forever know her from the movie adaption of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof with Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor. (And where Dame Judith Anderson also played the family matriarch!)

[slick jones]

 

From my buddy MTF's  Edgehomepage:

VICTORIA DANA 
(played by Joanna Roos)
Con woman who worked with Phoebe Smith to bilk John Barnes following a car accident (December 1965).

 

I had Roos as Mattie on my list but missed it, It will be included shortly, as I have a "s hitload" of additions to post that I dug out of my "stacks".

 

Nat Polen is already posted, and I'll try to get to the ones you mentioned by Tuesday---I've got a couple picnics this weekend, including one at the house.    
 

 

 

Honestly, a few were found just yesterday.    Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a favorite of mine as well,   I haven't seen it in a few years, bu I'll be watching TCM's schedule for it's next showing,   

 

 

All new additions will are listed on Page one. There will be a list of additions which I'll be adding tonight, as soon as I finish putting them in.

 

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
