i just got back from the new york book signing event...

it was quite well attended...and in unofficial attendance was the lovely and charming marie wallace. what a nice surprise!

ms.scott gave the audience a bit of background on the book, read a couple of passages and then took a few questions. needless to say she could divulge nothing about the film except to say how nice and inclusive the atmosphere on set was. then it was the usual "who was your favorite character?" type of stuff(for the record this time it was josette).

she also gave a plug to the upcoming television series about the playboy club(which, of course, her book "the bunny years" is the partial inspiration), spoke quite well of those times, greeted several former "bunnies" in attendance and then took a major jab at ms.steinem calling her a sour "miss bossypants" and inviting the audience to join her in viewing the series and making up their own minds about it. ZWING!

then it was time for her to sign copies of the book. i'm glad i went. i'm sure it was much more manageable than trying to purchase and have signed the book at the fest itself.

I always thought her favorite character was Maggie.  Her best performances in the show, as far as I am concerned were Maggie in 1966, particularly when she was setting her cap for Joe, and a few of the Lady Kitty episodes when Kitty was intriguing to snare a rich hubby at Collinwood.  Of course, once Kitty fell under the spell of the dead Josette, it was back to yawnsville and the standard mouth-breathing "W-where am I?? W-what am I doing here?" crap they made her do over and over again...

But then, I'm not much of a KLS fan or a Josette fan...

The event sounds really nice.  Thanks for the report!  What a nice treat for the fans to have Marie there, too.

like i said "this time" her favorite character was josette. [ghost_wink]

i'm with you on maggie gothick. my favorite maggie episodes were the 1966 at-the-diner stuff. when i think of maggie evans that's what comes to mind.

she was fine in later years as collinwood's resident ingenue-in-distress but early maggie was a more fully realized character with a distinct persona.

I see where this week HBO has been running a Gloria Steinem profile entitled Gloria: In Her Own Words. I'm guessing KLS hasn't been tuning in or recording it on her DVR.  [ghost_cheesy]

Maybe my perceptions are off, but aren't there a lot more DS actresses still alive than have passed away?

I read "Dark Passages" last night and found it interesting enough to stay up an hour past my bedtime to finish it and believe me, I don't give up sleeptime lightly.  She defintely wins the contest of the Dark Shadows authors.  There were a few too many uneeded characters.  Just because it's based on her real life doesn't mean eveyone needs to be included particularly when it's obvious she's going for a sequel where she could introduce them later if they are that important. 
I've heard her refer to her reel Pop in not so KLS terms before, but the fictional Pop description and actions were just too funny.

Many of the actresses were younger, but I could be wrong.

Don't know how they can really call the interview an exclusive considering that this is, what, KLS' 101st online interview in the past two months?  [ghost_wink]  But at least she doesn't mention the Frid/hangers story. And she does share he hopes for the Depp/DS film.

Not trying to be critical, but the author needs to use a spell checker at least. I saw spelling errors and I have problems spelling. Plus it is KLS, not KTS. Good remark MB.

Exclusive: Kathryn Leigh Scott Talks Dark Shadows, Dark Passages, and More!

I'm thinking these people somehow think they have "exclusives" because they ask slightly different questions. It certainly isn't because she's only talking to them.

Then again, maybe KLS fibbed a bit and told them all she was only talking to them.  [ghost_wink]

People have called her Katie, right?  KTS is Katie S.  It could have slid right past the writer's eye.
