Three Most Favorite Grayson Hall Characterizations

[Connie]

The Graysonholics would vote for every one of her DS roles and it would quickly turn to being *impossible*....

Yeah...ya gotta watch them Graysonholics.  They're an incurable lot.   Knowing no boundaries,
they live a life of excess, strewn with wild visions of Grayson which permeate the ethers of their very souls.

Let us pray.

Great shot Connie. . .i agree with MB. ..we all have a favorite and it's okay to admit it in public. . .you see the character Constance wouldn't make my list at all . .it was one day and she plotted cruelly then died. .     And this is about DS not other GH work--focus heather. . focus!

Whoa - wait a sec guys  - what did I say?? Just mentioning that shes got lots of talent...oh forget it.  

Sorry... certain traumas have eliminated my focus as of late...    well, that and finals.

I cast my vote for Magda, Dr. Hoffman and PT Hoffman. Though, it was tough to narrow it down to 3. Grayson played all her roles with such relish.
My favorite lines from Grayson that come to mind:

(as MAGDA, to the doomed Quentin): "You HAVE no future..."
(as DR. HOFFMAN, in a rattled moment): "You always win, don't you, Barnabas?!"

Wasn't the line "I never win with you do I?"  when he shoved the 1895 frock at her and said they were staying in the past .. but then again maybe she said the other line too.  .the girl couldn't win!  pigheaded man ..she was usually right--

Yes,  I think she said Sandor's line after Barnabas forced her not to call the police by telling her to "remember someone."  He responded that they always checkmate each other.

One of my favorite Natalie DuPre scenes is where she's wearing a hat with a huge flouncy feather, while standing with her back to Barnabas, she saucily tosses her head back and the feather waps Barnabas across the chops!  He doesn't have time to duck.  She pretends like she doesn't know what she just did!

Very early Dr. Hoffman before she got all gooey and the Countess DuPrey when I actually enjoyed watching her. I'm not a real Grayson Hall fan.

The results are in and really no surprises here. On a personal note, though, I'm happy to see that Carlotta got six votes because she's definitely one of my favorite GH characterizations.

I agree with you, MB. I was one of those six votes for Carlotta. Loved her characterization, and she got to wear some different, interesting, more feminine clothes too.

Interesting poll--I missed this one too.

Julia, darling, you've NEVER seen Hoffman???  THIS we must remedy.  And at once!  We MUST!

I personally put the film work (on hoDS and NoDS) in a separate category from the work on the TV series because film requires such a different kind of technique from TV.  I do agree with MB, however, that Carlotta is one of Grayson's best performances.  I also agree with Barbara Steele that she was "excruciatingly good" as Julia in hoDS--just so many marvelous moments.  I die to think of what we missed because of all the cuts.

  Magda. Definitely Magda. I couldn't even recognize the gal at first.

   Finals, Heather? What are you studying? Don't mind me. I ask everyone that b/c I'm fixing to go to college, too, one of these damn days. ~DJ

That's okay...not really a secret... Graphic Design (known I've wanted to do art since I was 3 or so... I was a precocious kid, I guess).

I agree - Julia's my fav, but I Love Magda too...sigh.

I still cherish my CARLOTTA button - and I shed a tear when I remember my original Carlotta T-shirt that, days before the DS convention, got messed up in the washing machine. She went from "colorful Carlotta" to "Carlotta in kinescope!"

 Aww...that woulda made me cry too (well, I'm an emotional sort, so go fig..).        Gotta love her in full-on Carlotta drag...divinely colorful.
