Donna McKechnie

I had the pleasure to see her at the DS Festival in August  and also this October at a book signing at  Barnes &  Noble  Lincoln Center  in NYC .  Very friendly  toward the fans and took the time to sign autographs for a few hours and read excerpts from her autobiography in addition to performing.  She has truly discovered the formula for not aging or has a painting hidden

Well of course, her painting WAS done by Charles Delaware Tate. (...but I thought it was destoyed by some zombies around 1970, under the direction of Gerard Stiles, but I could be wrong.)

Michael... because the house was trashed?   And Quentin's?    And 1970 never happened!

It always bothered me that amanda was supposed to need another way to survive to a hundred when she already had a Tate portrait.

It always bothered me that she survived 30 seconds

I have heard nothing but nice things about her personally....from what I have seen she does seem very warm and friendly indeed.

As a character Amanda really wasn't all that bad.....it's just that I (and the majority on the forum) feel that pairing her with Quentin was a mistake and a slap in the face to all the Quentin and Beth fans. The writers should have let Amanda walk into the sunset with Tim Shaw....she was much more interesting with him.

  ROTFLMAOPIMP!!!!!!!  Don't hold back Sheenasma, tell us how you REALLY feel!!

She was indeed VERY nice, as was Betsy Durkin.  I said a while back that it was ironic to me that the two actresses who either played a character we all hated, or replaced an actress we all loved and was therefore doomed to fail in our eyes were two of the NICEST DS stars around.

ITA w/this, she was MUCH better w/Tim, had better chemistry w/Don than she did w/David.

I thought Amanda was much prettier than Beth.  Just watch a scene from 1897 when Quentin and Amanda gaze into each other's eyes before a passionate kiss.. She brought out a more tender side of the Q man who always had his way with the beautiful women  the lucky guy.

DS is about things going horribly, tragically wrong.

DS is about things going horribly, tragically wrong.

Yet I found Amanda Harris' demise to be wonderfully right. I know a few people who were clapping at the scene during the recent Festival for reasons other than their admiration of Donna McKechnie.
