Barnabas meets CHRIS JENNINGS-FONZARELLI: "Heyyyyyyyyyyy!" "Sit on it, Quentin."

I found it interesting how during their first encounter (Julia bandaged up Cassandra's 'sprained' ankle), Cassandra/Angelique immediately picked up on Julia's feelings for Barnabas. She later remarks to Roger, "I think she's (Julia) in love with him." Wonder if that made Julia an instant enemy in Cassandra's mind. Did Julia make her feelings that obvious in that scene? I wonder....
More catfights between Julia & Cassandra would have made for some great TV... but alas, we just got more of Adam in his trusty green sweater.... sigh.

Excellent, FireRose! When the powers that be finally get around to releasing this classic on DVD, yours is the design they should go with for the cover of the DVD box.

I have a t-shirt with Chuck and Zira kissing. .

I have neighbors who look like Chuck and Zira when they kiss...

Thanks for the link(s), Gothick - Grayson Art is always a pleasure to view.

Best place to catch Donna McKechnie is on old episodes of "Hullabaloo" - she was the front and center go-go dancer - so while many feel she was strident and pointless as Amanda Harris on DS, Donna could do a mean shimmy and jerk.

BTW, anyone ever notice the similarity in looks between Donna McKechnie and Kathryn Leigh Scott?

J-C or anyone in the know - question:
were Grayson and Ava Gardner good friends beyond "Night Of The Iguana"?  I can imagine while filming in Mexico, the two divas swapped stories, bummed cigarettes from each other, and commiserated on the off-camera goings-on with Liz & Dick et al. Any true anecdotes known to support this fantasy? They were so dicey in their scenes together...
Just caught Ava Gardner in an old episode of "Knots Landing" from 1985 - right around the time our beloved Grayson passed away.
"Squeezing more scathing irony out of a simple line reading than just about any actress alive, Gardner wraps her tongue around every syllable and tilts her head back to savor the flavor. On 'Knots Landing' she makes the innocent question, "Doesn't anybody carry cigarettes anymore?" sound like the most insinuating of inquiries."
Hall & Gardner: soul sisters? Get ready, Norfolk!

JULIA: (in her smokiest Marlene Dietrich voice) "Falling in love again.... can't help it... can't help it..."

I enjoy the Leviathan sequence for bringing Grayson Hall to the front-burner again. Rather than pine and sigh over Barnabas and continue to play his second banana, Julia moved on to other mysteries (the return of Quentin, the discovery of Angelique, the desperation of Chris Jennings, the odd behavior of Elizabeth towards Paul Stoddard). Julia never seemed more liberated than when she and Barn were on the outs, plus she got to wear lots of snappy non-tweed Ohrbach's numbers that actually flattered her.
As a kid, I "borrowed" one of my mom's knick knacks that resembled the actual Leviathan box, and I resisted entering rooms where I'd hear heavy breathing on the other side of the door (viva my parents' sex life in 1969)! The Leviathan period did have its perks and influences.
