Very sad to hear of Jonathan Frid's Passing.  The great Shakespearean actor played a huge part in creating Barnabas Collins, An immortal character so dear to our hearts.   I'm glad he was able to appear in Johnny Depp's updated Movie version of a Supernatural Soap Opera Classic.    RIP

I still can't believe he's dead.  I've written a short piece as to why.

Nancy, that was so kind and thoughtful.  I am extremely sorry for your loss.  The man brought so much joy and happiness into my own life just through his amazing talents.  I can only imagine what he brought to yours.
