@vetsoapfan You have to excuse me, vetsoapfan. Even though I have yet to properly watch Rich Man, Poor Man Book II for myself, I have become very interested in Kimberly Beck, who had a significant role on that miniseries. The aforementioned Facebook friend of mine has told me that Kim was very good on it. Did you catch any part of Kimberly's 1982-83 stint as Julie Clegg on Capitol? How about her four-episode stint as Claire Prentice on Dynasty during the 1986-87 season? How about her 1975 stint as Samantha Livingstone on General Hospital? Less than a year after leaving Capitol, she appeared as Trish Jarvis in the hit slasher movie Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Curiously, Kimberly never appeared on any Quinn Martin TV series, not even Barnaby Jones. Why was that? Another World alum Susan Sullivan, who played Kim's mother on Rich Man, Poor Man Book II, appeared in two episodes of Barnaby Jones. Even Robin Mattson guest-starred on Barnaby Jones as well as on the short-lived QM series Operation: Runaway before she began appearing as Heather Webber on General Hospital. Heck, Robin even appeared in an episode of the Bill Bixby TV series The Incredible Hulk. Kimberly never did despite being a Universal Studios contract player during the 1970s. Did Kim dislike the general horror genre that much before she did Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter?
By the way, Robin Mattson left the role of Heather Webber on GH at the same basic time that Kimberly Beck left the role of Julie Clegg on Capitol. I wonder if Robin was considered as a replacement for Kim on Capitol.
