Title: Weekend montage
Post by: kuanyin on July 14, 2002, 11:14:14 PM: Oh my goodness, do I actually see - a person of color??? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Was this a first and last happenstance?

was Estvan, King Johnny's pal.

Post by: ROBINV on July 14, 2002, 11:48:28 PM: You are correct. That's a nurse we will be seeing shortly in Collinsport Hospital. And aside from an Oriental gentleman who will show up later, and a huge, silent black man in 1897, that's as far as DS went beyond white bread actors/actresses.

Am I forgetting anyone? I usually do!

Love, Robin

No, I don't think you are Robin. Collinsport was whiter than Mayberry.

At least the nurse got lines.

How well I remember those starched nursing caps and white uniforms. Eek!

In case anyone is interested that also gets the Bravo channel, the actress will be on TV twice tomorrow-- playing Tom's nurse and in a recurring role as a junkie hooker on Hill Street Blues, one of those eps airing tomorrow at 9 a.m. Pacific, 12 noon Eastern. [The late] Beverly Atkinson, credited on HSB as Beverly Hope Atkinson, portrays such a despicable character that you can't decide which you want to do first-- strangle her or applaud the performance.
