Title: CNN Clip on Dark Shadows Revival!
Post by: Taeylor Collins on April 29, 2009, 06:10:59 AM: Hey guys. Some of you may have seen this or possible have it on tape (are you out there MB [ghost_wink]) however, I hadn't. I thought in may be of interest. I devoured pretty much everything on the Revival but as I said hadn't seen this! ENJOY! I found another one and hope you like it! The second one has some interviews with Jonathan, Barbara Steele and Jean Simmons!

In fact, I've never even heard of that show. And apparently not many other DS fans have either if we can go by the fact that the '91 DS segment was never even mentioned in SG. (I wonder if it was a cable or a syndicated show?) Thanks so much for finding it and for posting the link. Interviews with Barbara Steele were rarely included in these promotional segments, so it was particularly great to see her. And I loved the "startling" montage from the original series.

I loved it and wish they would have let her wear it on the episode. I love that particular outfit with the silver pen! DIVINE! [ghost_wink]

I also loved the starling segment as well! LOL

I'm pretty sure the interviews with Cross, Simmons and Steele were all done on January 6, 1991 as part of NBC's Press Tour at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. There are several pictures of Cross and Simmons from the event, and they're wearing those clothes.

I just discovered a short while ago that one of those "startling" moments will be coming up in May as part of the Quotes Slideshow. [ghost_cheesy]

Jonathan Frid was certainly gracious in his comments.

I also found this segment interesting, with Joanna Going saying that she was not allowed to watch DS as a child:

THANK YOU so much Phillppe! ;) Side Note: I saw Joanna's new movie on Hallmark (this week) and the woman is GOREGOUS still. She looks like she may have aged a five years and that is about all. She looks great! :) She could almost still play Victoria.

OMG--That is Connie Jonas and Judy and May Sutherland who did Wyndcliffe Watch, a zine I really liked!

Post by: Midnite on May 03, 2009, 04:55:16 AM: At around the halfway point of the vid that Vlad posted is an interview with the editor of the Wyndcliffe Watch zine. Some might also remember May from the old OLD DS SciFi board.

Oops, sorry, I didn't see that 2nd part where you also mention May when I previewed, Taeylor.

Post by: Taeylor Collins on May 03, 2009, 04:58:48 AM: Thanks for fixing it. I thought it may not be appropriate after I thought about it! I have nothing against Judy & May, loved them and their zine. :)
