Whatever happened to Jonathan Frid of "Dark Shadows"?

Yet another writer who can't spell Barnabas.  [santa_rolleyes]  But it's always nice when a DS related question is published/answered.

I'm sure Jonathan appreciates the wording of the question "Whatever happened to..." as opposed to "Is he still alive?" LOL  I actually read that question online several years back regarding David Selby!  [santa_shocked]

Whatever happened to me, come to think of it?

I think you're doing dinner theater in the Catskills.

I'd be willing to bet that even after Jonathan dies, he will keep up the website just to confound people.

What amazes me is, no matter where I go, I inevitably meet DS fans who just squeal with delight over the mere mention of the show. That's always by accident. I don't normally go around introducing myself as a DS fan. It somehow comes up in the coversation. Frid's name then comes up, and I'm happy to tell them he's been at the last two festivals. Thus, I'm elated to see this question come up in a syndicated entertainment column that MB pointed out to us. It proves to those naysayers who call DS a "washed-up" soap from the '60s, that the show is still very much alive and well in the minds and hearts of legions of fans.  [8_2_73]
