Well, it can be possible that a very young person (and Miss Hu, despite being in her mid-thirties, looks very young, but then being in your mid-thirties is still "very young", as is being in your mid-forties!) could be a full-licensed doc. Miss Green Bay (WI) is only 22 and is already a fully licensed physician. Yes, she is a "Doogie-Hawser" superbrain, having started college when she was around 13 and finished medical school when she was just out of her teens. And, ironically enough, she looks almost exactly Miss Hu, being a third-generation Korean-American.
Actually, it was VERY commonplace for women, especially in "service" jobs like waitressing to be patted and pinched by their male customers, and yes, she would have smiled and made light of it because she needed the damn job. Today, she'd pour the coffee in his lap AND sue the bastard....but back then it was something they "had to put up with".
The Women's Rights movement was still a bit in the future.....after the women among the Vietnam War protesters got tired of making coffee and running the mimeograph machines for the men and decided to protest for their own rights.
I take it that you don't adapt to change well, jennifer.
But the sad thing is that he doesn't seem to realize that he's more the brunt of a joke than anything else. When you see him in interviews, he certainly seems like he takes everything very seriously and that people honestly believe he has a talent for dancing and singing. If he does get the joke, then he's one of the best actors I've ever seen...
Where do I go to audition for Maggie?
As for Hung, isn't his inexplicapble rise to fame, after the jawdroppingly awful AI audition he gave, one of the signs of a coming apocalypse?
The heretic in me hopes that they do keep her blond - and not only blond, but with the short hair. Talk about forever shattering the "dream" image of the governess with long dark hair!
Yes. Absolutely. Angelique is Angelique because Lara Parker created her. I don't care how unique or interesting a story or script may be. It's the actor that makes or doesn't make the character. Not only is she the "first and best" like you say, IMHO she is the ONLY. Just like Frid created Barnabas, Hall created Julia, Selby created the Quentins - 1897, 1840, 1995, etc., (all distinctly different), Edmonds created Roger, and so on. The characters grew from these people and came into being. That's why I think it's meaningless to have other people playing them in a new series. Some may think I'm being fanatical, but as far as I'm concerned, Dark Shadows is unique, sacred ground. If they wanna make a new series they'd do much better creating their OWN new characters - descendents or relatives of the Collins family. (Just my very, very, very, humble, unpopular opinion)
