A 2-page article about the First Former Playboy Bunny International Reunion held earlier this week in Las Vegas begins on the front page of today's L.A. Times Calendar section.

To read the entire article online, go to http://www.latimes.com/la-et-lipton21apr21,1,4412416.story.  A free registration is required.  Here's an excerpt in which KLS is mentioned:

     Many of the bunnies have matured into savvy women.  Seeing a cluster of them perched around the lobby, a middle-age hotel guest is prompted to stop Kathryn Leigh Scott, a Los Angeles publisher and actress who worked in the New York club in the early '60s.  "Hi, Bunny Kathryn," he says impishly.  "My God, it's a hotel full of beautiful women my own age," he adds.  Scott thanks him, then notes: "Some women here haven't seen each other in over 40 years."
     The fact that they are together is due in part to Scott, who in 1998 wrote "The Bunny Years," which chronicled life at the Playboy clubs.  She was inspired to write it, she says, after running into a dismissive Gloria Steinem at a publishing party.  In 1963, the pioneer feminist worked undercover at the New York Playboy Club in order to pen a famously derisive magazine expose about gender inequality.
     Though Steinem wasn't alone in seeing the bunnies as an artifact of society's rampant sexism, Scott and many of her former coworkers felt betrayed by the article.  They claimed that it did not reflect their handsome wages and the strict management guidelines that protected them from sexual harassment.  Many of them, like [Joyce] Woodward of the Chicago club, say they used the money to pay for college- in her case, Cornell.



There are 4 photos taken at the reunion that accompany the article, but none are of KLS.

For the Hallmarkless, a bio and images of Marsha Mason, plus an interview with her, and a synopsis and video preview of The Long Shot are available at http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/us_framework.jsp?TZ=TIMEZONES_92656

The time shown is Eastern, but any time zone can be entered on that page as needed.  The movie will air April 18 and April 21.

It's mentioned to her in her interview that she played a lot of memorable characters.  I'm sure none of us can forget Audrey the Leviathan Vampire Girl. :D

Happy 30th to Marley!

Thanks to MB's excellent tutoring, videos of Marley Shelton's scenes in the May 31 episode of Karen Sisco are now available on the "WB DS Actors" board.  As with the other vids,  the number of clips available to you depends on your current forum status.  Newbies and Guests are able to see a 160X120 clip of Marley's first appearance in the ep but also where, unfortunately, her face isn't shown, whereas Senior members and above will have 5 320X240 videos available to them, with Full and Junior members falling between with 2 and 3 respectively.

When I made the vids I neglected to allow them to play on older versions of RealPlayer, so viewers will probably need to upgrade their RP version if they haven't already done so.  I'm very sorry for that, but it was my first attempt at creating videos. :-

Marley played a bank robber before in the movie "Sugar and Spice".  On Karen Sisco, Tweety, er, Molly becomes sympathetic in the 2nd clip (available to all members except newbies); however, I'm not wild about her acting in this episode.  Would love to hear what you think after you've watched.

Once again, your patience is required while the connection is made to the server and the video clip is dl'd, and how long it takes will depend on your individual Internet connection speed.

Enjoy!



[9251]  <---- Midnite jumps for joy that she managed it at all and is grateful for MB's patience and guidance

Number 111. March 11, 2004.
******************************************************************
Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,

ShadowGram (SG) announces the following breaking news for Dark Shadows (DS).

--- DARK SHADOWS 2004 SIGNS FIRST CAST MEMBER

SG has learned that 30-year-old Los Angeles-born actress MARLEY SHELTON will portray governess Victoria Winters in the forthcoming "Dark Shadows" television pilot for the WB Network. She is the first performer to be signed for the proposed new series, which will begin filming later this month in the Los Angeles area.

Marley's past credits include the films "Pleasantville" and "Nixon." She played Tricia Nixon in the latter project, which, coincidentally, also featured Joanna Going, the 1991 "Dark Shadows'" Victoria Winters. Marley also was seen in the short-lived 1993 CBS primetime serial "Angel Falls," which co-starred Jean Simmons, who portrayed Elizabeth Collins Stoddard in the 1991 "Dark Shadows."

Additionally, SG has learned that P.J. Hogan, who directed the recent live-action "Peter Pan" feature film, will be directing the pilot instead of the previously-announced Rob Bowman, who had a scheduling conflict with another project.

--- DARK SHADOWS WEEKEND UPDATE

As a reminder, this year's fan gathering and cast reunion presented by the Dark Shadows Festival will be held the weekend of August 13-15 at the Westchester Marriott Hotel in Tarrytown, New York (home of the National Historic Trust Lyndhurst Estate, where the MGM DS movies were filmed. It is located 30 minutes north of New York City.). Special hotel rates are available to attendees who call 914-333-1210 and mention Dark Shadows.

Among the special events during the weekend will be a performance of the lost 1957 "Goodyear Television Playhouse" production of "The House," written by original "Dark Shadows" story developer Art Wallace. Much of the 1966-67 "Dark Shadows" storyline was based on Wallace's teleplay of "The House," which was only aired once on NBC.

Fans interested in attending the DS weekend, which will also include a visit to Lyndhurst, should send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Dark Shadows, PO Box 92, Maplewood, NJ 07040. Updates will be posted soon to the website  www.darkshadowsfestival.com

--- The upcoming new SG #101 print issue will highlight further details for the above news and will report the latest DS developments and updates.  Subscription information for the postal-mail published newsletters is noted below.

Thank you.
