David,
In your wonderful article, Ms. Parker mentions that she's basically a shy person. I believe that Dark Shadows writer Matthew Hall once wrote that Ms. Parker impressed him (as a young boy) as also being a somewhat shy, albeit an extremely nice and obviously beautiful young woman, when Ms. Parker visited his parents Sam and Grayson Hall at their New York City apartment during Dark Shadows' filming during the late 1960s.
Of course, we all know that Dr. Julia Hoffman was also the author of books on both the history of the Collins family and on the life and times of the inimitable Dr. Eric Lang. It's just too bad that the prolific writer/doctor did not also decide to write profiles on the many other notable and fascinating personalities of both Collinwood and Collinsport, a la the late writer, James Brady, in "Parade Magazine." (Can you imagine how the keen-eyed Julia Hoffman would, no doubt, have written engrossing profiles on the heady likes of Nicholas Blair, Donna Friedlander and "Buzz" Hackett?)
Congratulations on your superb article on the eternally beautiful and talented Lara Parker.
Bob
