Some of this has been posted separately elsewhere, but what the heck. I've updated my David Selby site to include the following:
  • The Dark Shadows Hollywood Weekend section is now complete in the Photo Gallery. If you have photographs or an account of this event that you would like to share or a link to add, please contact me via the site's Feedback page. (If you don't see your photos on the site, then I didn't receive them.)
  • A link to a recent article from the Charleston Gazette has been added to the section on A Better Place on the News page. (This article will only be online for a couple of weeks, so get it while it's hot.)
  • The News page also features information at the very bottom about a new DVD release for The Affair.

Also, anyone attending any of the signings/readings in West Virginia over the next few days who would like to share photos, please message me through the forum or via the site's Feedback page.

Thanks,
Criseyde

For those in the Los Angeles area, KABC will broadcast Grave Secrets: The Legacy of Hilltop Drive, starring David Selby and Patty Duke on Monday, October 17, at 12:35 AM (local time).

Selby and Duke play husband and wife, and it's rather amusing to see all the tricks they use to get both of their faces in a shot since he's over a foot taller than she is.  [hall2_cheesy]

If you're interested in getting a copy of this movie on DVD, don't fool with Amazon. They only offer them through third-party sellers. Movies Unlimited is much more reliable for this title.

I have screen grabs from the film on my Selby site. Click here. These are from a broadcast copy. I've not gotten around to making new ones from the DVD.

Calendar Events / Announcements '05 II / New David Selby Book
« on: September 27, 2005, 10:42:36 PM »
From DavidSelby.com:

A Better Place is a loving tribute to West Virginia. The book is part memoir and part social commentary by native West Virginian David Selby, who has had a long, distinguished acting career. He is probably best known for his roles as Quentin Collins on the TV series Dark Shadows and Richard Channing on Falcon Crest.

In A Better Place, Selby re-visits the West Virginia of his youth and examines the lasting effects of an Appalachian upbringing. He voices concerns about current problems facing West Virginia, concerns he feels compelled to face in the wake of 9-11.

Some chapters are touchingly devoted to family members, such as "The Carpenter," his hard-working father's story, and "A West Virginia Doctor," about his father-in-law who founded a hospital in Mullens. He writes with reverence about his mother who grew up in a coal camp, but upon leaving it, never looked back.

Selby discusses the state's absentee landlords, pollution, and chronic appearance at the bottom of most national indicators of health and well-being. He compares out-of-work Latinos in L.A. to unemployed coal miners in West Virginia. Selby examines the pride and prejudice of mountaineers. He quotes his favorite authors as he tries to make sense of a chaotic world but looks toward a hopeful future for West Virginia.

A heartfelt and genuine look at West Virginia and its people.

Signed copies of A Better Place, a 228-page paperback, may be pre-ordered online from The West Virginia Book Company for $12.95 plus $5.00 shipping for a single copy and $.50 shipping for additional copies. Pre-orders will ship on October 24, 2005.

Calendar Events / Announcements '05 II / Selby Appearance in October
« on: July 08, 2005, 05:43:41 AM »
DavidSelby.com, the official David Selby site, is reporting that David will appear at the West Virginia Book Festival in Charleston in October to read from a forthcoming book.

Also wanted to mention that the official site has been posting site update information via RSS feed for some time. If you're into the whole blogging thing, then you know what this is, and you probably already know several methods for subscribing to site updates.

Now the Welcome page also includes a link to the RSSfwd service, which allows you to receive site update information via email. RSSfwd checks the site for updates every 2 hours and will send you an email message if new material has been added. The service is not without its flaws, but, if it works with your email service, it's a nice way to stay up to date.

Calendar Events / Announcements '05 II / Selby in Shadow of Fear
« on: July 05, 2005, 08:20:35 PM »
Shadow of Fear, the independent film that David Selby referred to working on at the 2003 Fest, makes its cable debut this month on Showtime networks. His part is small, but the movie has a strong ensemble cast -- James Spader, Peter Coyote, Matt Davis, Aidan Quinn, Robin Tunney, Alice Krige, and Lacey Chabert. As with Selby's other recent film project, End Game, Shadow of Fear was filmed in Spokane, Washington.

A complete list of airdates for July is posted on DavidSelby.com.

Screen grabs from the film are posted on my David Selby site.

Try not to blink during the ballroom scene, and you'll get to see him dance.  ;)
