if she wanted to audition for a part on Secret Storm
That would have been Another World - Somerset, but I'm sure you knew that and simply made a mistake (something we're all guilty of from time to time
). And Marie was quite incredible as India Delany.
My most vivid memory of Marie on the show (which I happily got to joke about at length with her at the 1989 Red Zone party) was after India got bopped over the head with a gold candlestick to the tune of "Theme from Shaft" (and "her" motionless body laid behind a couch for two weeks while Marie was actually off on vacation), she got to confront her attacker (after recovering from her bout with amnesia, of course
) with the immortal line, "I haven't just pulled the rug out from under you, darling - I've pulled out the wall-to-wall carpeting!"
Aw, c'mon MB, Jeb was grrrooovy, baby!!!
As for Jeb, well, trust me, you don't want to hear (read) what I'd have to say about that comment!
