The script is amazing.  She was dedicated to her craft for sure and one could tell she had studied with the greats.  I seem to recall that she studied with Lee Strasbourg. I could be mistaken though.

As Sam pointed out, I don't think dear ever recovered from the fact that NODS was butchered.  And I haven't recovered from the fact that MGM took no interest (unless I am out of the loop) in doing the restored version Mr. Gross worked so hard on. 

I recently watched the movie again and I reaffirmed that it is BY FAR my favorite performance of her career. It's so interesting, (as y'all know I ADORE her)  to see her be so overstep, campy and flamboyant on Dark Shadows. Yet Carlotta has this quiet, still, strength and control about her.  NODS is by far my favorite of the two!

I really appreciate everyone's well wishes! It feels good to be back among my COUSINS!    Thank you to everyone who said a kind word.  He is flying free now...I believe that....

I also noticed in August I will have been here for ten years.  I am so glad this board is still going. I just love our moderators and all the wonderful cousins we have!

Although, it doesn't deal with 1840, I fixed said plot holes and made three storylines mesh together to make the show as a whole make more sense!

I like 1840 as well so I try to save it myself.  Parts are genius. Parts are a total train wreck. I just read a great story by Kathy Resch that totally fixed the Roxanne problem!  PARADOX! Great novel!

Cool explanation buddy! I have missed you and hopefully I can get back to this. I am so freaking busy with the zine.  It's going to be amazing!  50Th Anniversary!

This is so depressing!  I have missed you guys!!!!

Just wanted to say hello guys!  I am have totally missed you all.  I hope everyone is good.  I am really excited to get the blu ray soon.  Thanks for all the great info.  Later I plan on writing a note to let everyone know why I have been absent so long....till then....have a great day!!!

I love and have missed you all so much!!!!

Thanks guys! I love all of you! I haven't been around much but I hope that I will be able to get on here more. Things have been a bit crazy right now. My mother was sick for a while with blood clots and my grandmother was sick and then a good friend was sick.  Not whinning...I love my family and friends and would do anything for you!  I love you very much and thanks for all the support!
