Wow!  After reading that, all I can picture is Bette Davis saying:  "Fasten your seat belts..."

Gotta love Sam.  He is very outspoken.  I enjoyed his interviews on the DVDs however I didn't think he would still be around, if we are being frank here.  He seemed very frail.  WOW...88..and still working! GOOD. FOR. HIM!  I have to admit I would have killed to hang with him in Gray back in the day...

HOWEVER, I for one would be BEYOND proud of the fact that I worked on Dark Shadows...I don't get the ones that don't.  Maybe if I had been I would have felt differently.

YAY...my 1200 post.  I told y'all I am eyeing that GOD position!! [ghost_cheesy]

Frankly, I don't love him.  I think he's a sour, ignorant person.

How sad for SH that he worked all those years in the industry and is scarcely proud of anything he did.  He has no room to talk about how miserable someone else is . . . it's all about the money for him. 

And I am eyeing that Forum God position too.  I want it, I want it.

What annoyed me most about that interview was what SH said about Dan Curtis having a "miserable life" and things of that nature.  That's below the belt.  Saying DC was not a thrill to work for is one thing but casting such a negative light on DC's personal life is just nasty.

Well, I had discovered the interview a few days ago, but found it sooooo controversial that I couldn't tell anyone about what Sam said.  And yes, I've heard some of what he has said before, but that's another story.......

Charles, I never even looked at the date of the interview.  When was it?  I didn't find the interview controversial as much as rude and sad.  That Frid is an odd actor isn't news but saying what he did about DC's personal life was, well, I've already said it . . . blech.

I use the term GOTTA LOVE HIM loosley!  I did find the remarks about Curtis distasteful.  How does he know he had a miserable life??  WOW...the whole part about David is very ballsy...

I enjoyed the interview - particularly picturing Grayson Hall hanging around with Gore Vidal in Paris forty or so years ago.  I wasn't offended by any of his opinions of people he knew.

Is saying someone was miserable an insult?

Another thing, as fans we ache to know what these people really think, then they tell us, and then we blame them for it.   I can blame someone for feeling contempt or judging or assuming unfairly, but not for expressing it.

I don't like his opinions, and I suppose I don't like him much, but I'm glad he's capable of being hard-edged and "snotty" at 88!   That's what I'm hoping for!
