Nice shot of them!

There's another DS reference there. Joanne Dorian had a small role in the NBC show as the nurse in the 1790 sequence. Joanne is still active as a performer. She just finished a run in The Skin of Our Teeth in NYC.

Wow, you're good - I didn't even catch that connection. I also have no memories of her as Victoria Lord on OLTL even though I was a faithful viewer. (On the other hand, I vividly remember Gillian Spencer and, of course, Erika Slezak, and loved both of them in the role.)

Joanne was one of the guests at the fan event in Tarrytown in 2013. I worked at her table with her for the day, so I got to hear a lot of OLTL stories. She was quite flabbergasted when I told her that I remembered her from an old commercial as an Avon Lady selling Avon to Mrs. Santa Claus.
