In part 2, Grayson's final scene starts around 4:10...

This is a gem!  It is also, so far as I am aware, Grayson's last appearance on film.

WOW!  Grayson.  How wonderful thanks for posting.  Bless her heart I thought she looked rather frail.   [ghost_sad] Was this made close to her illness??

No.   This was likely filmed in 1981 which was a year or so after she fell and broke her hip though. 

She did not start showing signs of her final illness until January 1985.

Thanks.  Maybe it's just shocking seeing Grason older?  Julia99 I know she didn't show signs until then but wasn't Grayson great at keeping things from people??  I am not saying she had cancer when this was filmed I just find her looking rather gaunt.  Maybe it was from the fall.  At any rate it is great to see this and thank you.

Isn't she just great?!  Too bad she didn't get to play many characters like this on Dark Shadows.  She's perfect for the role of the villainess.  Thanks for posting this!

That was a really fun, delightful story.  And Grayson's character reminded me of Hoffman from PT1970.  Maybe that was Hoffman's grandmother (or some other related ancestor) in parallel time!

I watched this one last night.  Very enjoyable.  Another testament to Grayson's range as an actress.

That was not the case here.
