Picking up Scene 59 where we left off in reply #73 and with yesterday's quote, which was Quentin's reply to Alex' remark about Collinwood supposedly being haunted by "a young beautiful servant girl":

And the reason that post refers to yesterday's two quotes as appearing on separate days is because originally they did. If one pays attention one will notice that when the slideshow originally ran it was a Leap Year, meaning there was a February 29th. But 2021 isn't a Leap Year, so I needed to combine two of the quotes in order to still be able to feature them all. But rather than having this 2021 version of the slideshow feature the original February 29th's quote on the same day as March 1st's quote, I decided to wait a few days because it made a bit more sense to place the skipped dialogue from the scene after dialogue that does actually appear in the scene, especially considering both of those quotes were originally dealt with in the same post.

Carlotta's outfit in today's screen capture -

- goes so well with the forum's Halloween color scheme. Who knew things would work out that way, especially considering when the slideshow first ran in 2016 the current batch of captures/quotes ran in March, not in October.

In honor of today's screen capture in the slideshow showing off the back and side of Carlotta's hair -

- I'm sharing what appear to be some of Edith Tilles' test shots for Carlotta's hairstyle and some photos immortalizing Tilles' work during production of NoDS:

(Click here for a 804X1038 version)

(Click here for a 680X664 version)

All of these photos were shared in the "A Gift of Memory": The Grayson Hall Memorial Collection, put together by Melody Clark and published back in 1987, and they may have also been shared prior in Grayson Hall fanzines...

And you'll no doubt note that the top right photo above was also a part of the page I shared in Reply #148 from the '87 LA Fest Program. But I figured it was a part of the page so why not share it again...
