Looking at today's front page screen cap reminded me of something I've wondered for years.... Does anyone know about the tiny little cameo pendant Nancy Barret always seemed to be wearing while on DS? (I don't remember if she had it on the other couple of soaps she was on.) Was this a family heirloom of hers that she was permitted to wear over her regular "modern day" garb? (Though I suppose, if it was her own, and she never wanted to take it off for sentimental or superstitious reasons, she could even have been wearing it under her "antique" costumes.) Has anyone who's gone to those festivals noticed if she still wears it?
For that matter, I recall Humbert Astredo always had on a wedding ring, even though "Nicholas Blari" whom he played most often, was not married (and HA's own marriage came to an end at some point soon afterward.) Isn't this rather unusual for actors to bring these rather obvious indicators of their personal lives onto the set?
