Members DRW50 Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 Roger Friedman has also written something. I'd think he would know, but I guess we'll see. https://www.showbiz411.com/2020/01/29/rip-beloved-soap-opera-actress-marj-dusay-of-guiding-light-fame-and-star-of-memorable-star-trek-episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 I never have watched enough Capitol, but I think she probably saw Myrna as her best. For me it was probably Vanessa on AMC -such an incredibly dark role when she was given the opportunity, and it took full advantage of her chemistry with Vincent Irizarry. I also enjoyed that DID story she had before she left. She never really had the chance as Alexandra, but there were select moments - especially the episodes where Alan confronted her over Amanda being his sister and not his daughter, and banished her. A dumb story, but one hell of a performance. I'm also glad she was willing to stay to the end and give Alex a decent sendoff. One hell of a charismatic actress in an era when actors still seemed unique to each other. I'll miss her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 She was a great replacement as Alexandra - it would have been difficult for anyone to follow McKinsey. But Marj did a great job - I watched Capitol from beginning to end and it never should have been canceled. I've never liked B&B the way I loved Capitol...but then again, I'm Washington DC but it was nice to see a show not centered in a usual middle America town. This makes me very sad...she was wonderful.

Members Vee Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 A legend, and a trouper even in roles or stories that didn't work. I'll never forget her on AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 Oh no! I've been watching the 1994 season of Guiding Light with her as Alexandra Spaulding and learning to appreciate Dusay (who had big shoes to fill with McKinsey 's portrayal fresh on most minds) on her own merits. Of course, I first remember seeing her on Capitol and as Blair Warner's mother on The Facts of Life. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 I never saw much of her work but I read a lot of her interviews and she seemed like a great lady. I hope her post-soap life was filled with love and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
