I grew up on 1969-1976 GH - so the gritty Monica who had affairs and strived for what she wanted -- as well as being a cardiac surgeon -- was the only Monica I knew.  I was was away from soaps for a while and was surprised to learn that she'd become thought of as a matriarch.

I never thought of Monica as serial cheater  because of how she was presented. Dr. Monica was always modestly dressed looking like a conservative, middle aged wife, mother, and grand mother.

Learning about Monica's past was like learning about Kim's messy history with Bob that led to Sabrina on ATWT. You wouldn't expect THAT from THAT character.

I wish I had hung onto my copy of John Willis' Theatre World for 1973-74. What was great about those is that they also included information on shows that closed in out-of-town tryouts. One such show was Turtlenecks, a play starring Tony Curtis, William Devane, and Leslie.

And hey, I found a rehearsal photo!

A little bit more about Turtlenecks.

Here we go! Courtesy of eBay, a synopsis of One Night Stand, f.k.a. Turtlenecks.

Leslie played either the girl "with something of a penchant for quirky sex" or the "buxon and odd customs inspector." (And they said there are no good roles for women! /sarcasm)

 

After reading that synopsis again ... Tony Curtis was trying to pass for a thirty-something in 1973?
