History Slideshow
« on: June 18, 2014, 07:40:15 PM »
Just want to say how much I enjoy the OS frame grabs, especially because today's slide show includes one of my faves. This one's from episode 1038, when Barnabas calls Julia his "dear friend." I don't have access to the videos or DVDs, but I remember yelling at the screen, "Kiss her, Barnabas, kiss her!"   [ghost_grin]

And here's that installment in the slideshow for those who may have missed it:


1970: Ep #1038 - Barnabas refers to Julia as a 'dear friend'
for having saved him from Hoffman.

And then he went to her apartment and sat at the kitchen table and they ran lines together while she cooked him dinner...

Thanks, MB--always a pleasure to see that frame grab.

Gothick, that's so easy to believe and so homey--or are you pulling my leg?  [ghost_wink]

No, JF did sometimes go over to the Halls' apartment for dinner and they would sometimes work on lines.  I don't know if she was chopping veg and spouting DS dialogue while JF was reading and sometimes prompting her at the table, or if the read-throughs happened after dinner.

It's been reported in a couple of places, but I think Matt Hall wrote about it in one of his blog entries:

A number of the Shadows players used to have dinner at Grayson and Sam's. When Nancy Barrett was asked for memories about Grayson on one occasion, I think the first words out of her mouth were:  "She was a fabulous cook."

i'll bet Hall had some old fashioned saucy "specialty" like "Chicken Marengo".
sleep 'til noon and your punishment shall be the dregs of the coffeepot.

Grayson liked some gourmet dishes and she would attempt to tell the young fans about this kind of food and the reaction was predictable.

One of her favorite dishes was Carpaccio, raw beef medallions served with a kind of sauce.  She first had it at Harry's Bar (Cipriani's) in Venice.   Grayson pronounced it "divine" and the fans all went "EWWW!"

I don't think any of the fans ever forgot any time they were fortunate enough to spend with Grayson...

Well, she certainly was ahead of her time! Were you one of the lucky fans, Gothick?

No, Dark Lady. I simply enjoy collecting and sharing anecdotes about my all time favorite actress... Grayson Hall.

Thank you, MB, for posting one of my favorite moments in today's history slide show: "Never without you."

Yes, I count that as one of my favorite moments, too. And here it is for those who may have missed it or may just want to revisit it from time to time.  [ghost_wink]


1970: Ep #1070 - After learning Gerard forced Julia to
betray him, Barnabas insists he would never escape
without her.
