Happy Birthday, Joel Crothers!

[Jackie]

I don't know if anyone wished Joel Crothers a happy birthday but I will.  January 28 was his birth-date back in 1941.  I think he was a great addition to the DS cast!  I loved him as Nathan Forbes.



Wherever he is, I hope he is doing well...[I know he's gone from this physical world but not his spirit]

Thank you for that eloquent tribute.  We were admiring your collage yesterday in this message:

Happy Birthday David!

I'm a fan of your work and check in on your message board from time to time to check it out.  It's great to see you posting here again!

Hi Midnite...

Thanks for the compliment...I have a fan?!!?  LOL  I enjoy making the collages and slide shows for Robin's Robservations.  I'd like to come back here more.  I'm a basically simple person and getting around on the board with so many folders is confusing.  I like the new buttons at the top of the page: "Show new posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts".  I don't remember those the last time I was here.  It will make it easier for me to get around.

Thanks for posting about Joel C's birthday.  He was such a gifted actor, and it's very unfair that he died so young.

I think Joel Crothers was overlooked a great deal... his talents were immense!  I loved him as Nathan Forbes but was very surprised at how that character turned out.  Joe Haskell was a sweet, nice guy but sweet and nice don't get it much on a show like DS.

That's a lovely collage, Jackie, and the original one you did with Joe is great, too.

I recently decided that some of the best acting in the whole of DS was in the 1966 early courtship between Joe and Maggie scenes--and I'm not particularly a fan of KLS.  I think the rapport between the actress and Crothers made her relaxed enough to give from a more authentic place in those scenes.  Just my opinion.

Best wishes,

Steve
