The red type is a tad difficult to read for us oldsters who watched DS when it originally ran, but if one just highlights it, it turns into a magnificent, brilliant white surrounded by a beautiful blue, so it's like having Christmas tree lights that change color, adding to the festive look!
nostalgia can bring with it a rosy glow...
in her interviews on the new dvd collections alexandra speaks in glowing tones of how unique and creative dark shadows was.she also speaks very highly of her co-stars.joan bennett like a "second mother".nancy barrett a bridesmaid at her wedding.louis edmonds a "drawing room comedy".very high praise for jonathan frid and john karlen and mitch ryan and thayer david and clarice blackburn.after she left the series she speaks of missing the "camaraderie".
so it's too bad that(roger davis aside)she couldn't have found in that a way to make her time on the show a more positive experience for herself at the time.
i bit the bullett and have been "trading up" on the "beginning" dvd's.
to offset the expense i found a funky little record/book store that is willing to buy the "collector's series" tapes from me.we haven't discussed a price yet so we'll see.
big question.the collection promises a "new" introduction and interviews with alexandra moltke.yet in them when she's discussing her current work she speaks of her documentary film 'PORRAIMOS' as an upcoming project...and it was released at least five years ago(2002 i believe).
so i wonder when and what this interview was done for.was the dvd release held back for a few years for some reason and this interview was shelved until then?
I'm not sure it's so much bitterness as bewilderment as to why someone would want off a very popular soap. Actors want to work and certainly many actors enjoy fame if they achieve it.
