I'm another viewer who finds it impossible to grade Grayson's roles-she shined in every one of them.  To decide on a favorite is, for me, just not possible.  She portrayed such diverse characters and made each of them unique and believable.

The 1795 Countess and Magda were great and show what a wonderful actress Grayson Hall was - two characters on opposite ends of the spectrum, but she was convincing and found the essential humanity as both.  Her Dr. Hoffman is truly a unique characterization - she made what could have been a standard, Van Helsing like character (the character was  intended to be a vampire destroyer I believe)  into a truly original creation.  The tilt of her head and the short quick steps she takes always make me think of a bird.

When I belonged to Grayson Hall's fan club way back in the 60's, I remember her president ribbing her about her "patented duck walk."  So I guess this observation wasn't lost by her loving fans then, either!

I have a black and white photo of Grayson from that club, autographed from her to me, signed, "Love, Grayson."  I cherish it!

Love, Robin
