Hmmm - this wasn't in this past Sunday's Parade Magazine:
Showbiz Analysis: Kathryn Leigh Scott Celebrates Dark Shadows’ 50th Anniversary (http://parade.com/486502/nancyberk/showbiz-analysis-kathryn-leigh-scott-celebrates-dark-shadows-50th-anniversary/)
I wonder if it's only for the Web site or if it will be in next Sunday's issue?

Thanks for the post, MB. I think this is the first time I have ever seen that photo in color.

I wonder if this will be in the Sunday paper.

his first scene was not with Maggie at the diner...
the ways that she spins this to put herself at the center of things always amuses me. [ghost_rolleyes]

Oh yes Barnabas FIRST APPEARED talking to MAGGIE in that dear old diner set... just as the very first episode of the show opened with Maggie turning to the camera and saying "You are a jerk, J E R K!"
You really need to brush up on your DS history dear...

and Curtis instantly noticed the "chemistry" between the two actors and it "inspired him"...
please. at the time Maggie was an expendable secondary character he could throw under the bus in a hail Mary storyline when it looked like the show was about to be cancelled. [ghost_rolleyes]

Wasn't this the first storyline that Maggie had where she wasn't wringing her hands over Pop or mooning over Joe? And, if DC was so inspired to place the characters in a story together, I guess that he was equally inspired to sideline Maggie in favor of Vicki in the NBC incarnation.

For what it is worth, I thought KLS had some great stuff in her pre-Barnabas episodes. I'm particularly thinking of the ones where Joe comes over for dinner, and where Maggie goes up to "the big house" in an attempt find out what was going on with her Dad. Maggie had good scenes in the diner at the start of the Laura storyline and of course, with Mrs. Johnson.
IMO KLS had weak material until she came back from Europe to play Kitty. And unfortunately, we all know what happened with that character. But until the unfortunate events began, Kitty had some really sharp, good writing and KLS played it really well.
I'm not all that big a fan of KLS but when she was "on," she really did shine. I thought it was really disappointing for the actress that she got stuck in yet another kidnapping storyline as late as PT 1970. I bet that had a lot to do with her decision to walk away from the show.

1966 "waitress" Maggie was my favorite KLS characterization.

I wonder if this will be in the Sunday paper.
Now we know the answer to that is: no. [ghost_sad]

As her creator, Art Wallace knew how to write for Maggie. Sadly, not many of the other writers did. Before too long Maggie just became an endless victim...

Yeah, I made a run over to the CVS in Tarrytown on Sunday morning and saw that Parade was Scottless.
