A DS Reference That I Absolutely Love!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(Even if he does get the year wrong.  )

From times-standard.com:

Naturally, I won't be going to see "The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial" theatrical presentation, Tuesday and Wednesday at HSU. Even though in it Ed Asner (Yes! THAT Ed Asner: champion for human rights and Mary Tyler Moore's one-time television news pimp) and the irrepressible Marsha Mason (Forget her made-for-TV movies! She's a National Treasure! Not because of "Cinderella Liberty" or "The Goodbye Girl." Not even for her comedic genius and BIG-SUNGLASSES acting displayed in "Drop Dead Fred." Surely not! But because she once played a vampire in 1966 on the feral, first and final gloomy daytime soap opera "Dark Shadows." For that reason alone, I hereby decry her to be an icon of universal carnal worship for pagans and pussies alike) take the stage.

If you're wondering why the author won't be attending the shows, check out the entire article: HOMEBODY (I won't be attending for one reason or another)
(But be forewarned that it's partly based on religious grounds that might conflict with your own.)

  I'm always quite amused that Marsha Mason's "blink and you might miss it" appearence as a vampire during the Levaithan story, a dream sequence no less, is so often brought up. Its almost like reading one of those poorly researched references on DS in article or books that say something like, "The campy series starred Jonathan Frid,Grayson Hall and future TV sitcom stars Barnard Hughes, Abe Vigoda and Conrad Bain...". (emphasis on STARRED)  I guess for many of us, she's simply a curious footnote, like Harvey Keitel being a Blue Whale dancer/patron twice. The one thing hardly anyone mention is that after the "dream" is over, you can clearly see her arm sticking out from behind the Old House curtains!
