Hello All,
The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly mentions Dark Shadows in its cover story on "Lost." I dont' have the exact article here, both it states "Lost" is on the same "parallel" as "Dark Shadows", "Twin Peaks" and "The Prisoner." Good company if you ask me, I love all of these series. Plus, its a positive mention.
The second is a magazine called "Where Are They Now?", with the subtitle "Amazing stories on what happened to your favorite celebs." Two of DS casts members are profiled, along with the usual array of old sitcom cast members, and they are Kate Jackson and John Karlen. The Kate Jackson profile neglects to mention DS at all, implying she began on TV movies, while the John Karlen article is titled "From Dark Shadows to Detectives." The one page articles tend to have both the requisite then and now photos. John's look just like he stepped off of the panel on 1840, but you can't tell whether he's wearing his usual shorts or even pants at all. The article actually mentions John is a regular at the DS conventions where his shorts are legendary.
Others featured with DS connections include Julia Duffy from "Newhart" who is married to Jerry Lacey, Gary Sandy of "WKRP" who did "Arsenic and Old Lace" onstage with Jonathan, and Peter Ostrum, Charlie in "Willy Wonka." Perhaps the magazine's greatest blooper is that is states Ostrum graduated Veterinary College in 1964! Wow, he was a doctor for over 6 years when he sang his way into our hearts in Wonka. Maybe they mean 1984. Kind of a fun, light reading magazine. Still I wonder how Linda Ronstadt, Jeane Garafalo or even Debra Winger feel like being linked with the likes of Antonio Fargas, Robby Benson and Molly Ringwald? Some careers fall more quickly than others... Now when is someone going to tell us where Wes Stern, Lisa Gerritsen and our own Michael Maitland are?
