Well, just to add another layer to the puzzle, Grayson herself stated in at least one interview ca. 1970 that she *had* done this record.

It's possible that they recorded her for it, but then decided to use the other actress.  Who knows.  I wonder whether they have the original master tape in their vaults?

I can just persuade myself that it's her, particularly when she does the Chinese water torture thing... It just DOESN'T sound like her voice most of the time, though.

I want Old Acquaintance (Bette Davis vs. Miriam Hopkins), in ANY format.

As for Boom!, its brilliant elan and maverick kick-in-the-guts disregard for bourgeois conventions of narrative, characterization, and an audience's ability to withstand pages of Liz Taylor's shrillest invective, have placed it far beyond the pale of conventional standards of excellence.

But I digress...

Holy Cow! The Head Gargoyle got a bio, but not the brilliant drunk lady???

To quote Grayson herself:  "who can figure ANYTHING?"

Toblerone is an extra high quality chocolate, traditionally made in long triangle-shaped sticks.  It gets high marks from some chocoholics.  I personally prefer Lindt or Ghirardelli's, but then I'm a fussy old luddite queen.

I can imagine Julia keeping a bar (or maybe 3 or 4) of Toblerone in a certain drawer of her desk at Wyndcliffe and indulging in same between gulps of espresso when things get too crazy at the old loony-hatch.

I've never seen that. Is that the one about the troupe of showgirls living in Mrs Gilmore's boarding house?  I only ask for reference purposes.

Are we worried about Dark Shadows addiction being associated with toblerone theft and chocoholism, a growing problem in today's America?

G.

OK.  I'll try voting again today and see what happens.

Thanks Ian!

I really have to wonder whether the Dark Shadows Addict and I were separated at birth, given his choice of videoclips.  He chose two of my top favorite scenes between Grayson Hall and Lara Parker for their respective nomination clips, AND he chose a Count Petofi sequence for Thayer's clip!

My hat's off yet again to the genius of the Dark Shadows Addict!  (and I'm happy to say those clips played just fine today)

This is WONDERFUL!  And boy, did I need THAT.

I wish there was a blooper of this where Jules slugged Cass and knocked her wig off and it went flying and landed on somebody else's bald pate!

I asked Lara Parker back at an early 90s Festival whether that was a real slap (it looks real to me) but she couldn't remember.
