... I stumbled across my only VHS of the DS Collector's Series (Vol. 1) and watching it, I found myself not paying all that much attention to the "star" engenue Vicki, but rather to Mrs. Stoddard...
Joan in those first episodes is without a doubt breathtakingly beautiful - regal, charming, poised, but so so sad. I simply gawped at Joan the black gown and simply dripping with diamonds and pearls! :o wow, and then she leaves, brews and carries a loaded tea tray herself back to the drawing room! I am SO seeing her in my head in the kitchen boiling water and getting the tray ready in that gown and those diamonds! CLASSSSS!

Yeah, in those first shows, there's kind of a Miss Havishamesque quality to the fact that Liz, who has not left the house in 18 years, is dressed as if to attend Bobby Darin's big concert in the Rainbow Room at Caesar's Palace.
It's too bad we didn't get to see, oh, say, Liz grilling frankfurters at the stove in full tiara 'do, drop earrings, stunning cocktail gown and high heels, glaring with a coldly imperious look in her eyes as she turns the recalcitrant franks.
ROGER: Liz, why do the hot dogs have to ALWAYS be well done?
LIZ: Because I CHOOSE to cook them so!
