Rare 1982 KLS appearance to be released on DVD
« on: April 21, 2010, 10:54:37 PM »
Fans,

Katie Scott had a fairly substantial guest role (as the Duchess of Fitzhugh--shades of Lady 'Ampshire!) in the episode "God save the Queen" in the short-lived series Tales of the Gold Monkey (originally broadcast 1982-83, with a regular cast including Stephen Collins and Roddy McDowall).

According to regular industry sources, the series will have a commercial DVD release this June.  A friend had given me several discs with episodes of this program last year and I watched Katie's episode earlier this week.  It's a good time for fans of her work and it seems as if she must have had fun doing it.  She gets to do a couple of comic touches which I know from reading her books is something she wishes she were allowed to do more often.

Katie doesn't come on until around the 20 minute mark in the show, but once she appears, she's on quite a bit.

My mother liked that series.  It was well done.

Don't forget about the "Bring 'em Back Alive" series with Bruce Boxleitner! The CBS version of the "Raiders of The Lost Ark" network TV cash-in series.

I did prefer TOTGM though. Will be interesting to re-visit that show after all these years. Thanks for the heads up!

I've never heard of the show but if Netflix gets it I'll have to check out KLS's episode. Thanks!

Wow! This sound good.  I happen to really like the late great Roddy McDowell.  Recently viewed KLS in several episodes of Dallas.  She was very good in her role...kind of a funny, gum chewing con artist who delivered the goods and the young, unsuspecting country girl to the baddies.
