Fans, today I inadvertently stumbled across 3 different Youtube postings of the very short one-act play performance Jerry Lacy and Nancy Barrett put on last Summer at the DS event in Tarrytown.  This seems to be the only recording of the complete performance:

One of the other two has a much better angle of the central section where Carolyn and Tony are talking, but unfortunately the person was not able to finish out the recording.

This was a bit better than I expected, and of course, very nostalgic to see.

Uncle Roger, that's really wild about Lada.  Sounds as if she has had a lot of fun.  She was always so uninhibited and physical on Hullaballoo, I can see her doing well with what you mention.

I'm guessing Lada would be in her mid Sixties now.  She looked about 19 or so when she was on Hullaballoo.

Best, G.

I thought Liz's secret macrame cupboard was one hell of a secret.  AND a clear nod to the fact that somebody high up in the production unit reads these boards and knows about our secret Dutch macrame fetish thang...

I know this is beyond the realm of trivia, but can anyone tell me what the food item is suppsed to be that's huddled on Julia's plate?  The only thing that comes to mind is those melon balls that Seventies hostesses used sometimes to soak in champagne or something.

G.

Whatever happened to Barbara Blackburn, anyway?

G.

How cool!  Does Katie play the Queen of Outer Space?  Sounds juicy.

Hi Lydia, well, my take is that "Liz" and "Julia" in Depp Shadows are completely independent characters who just happen to have the same name as characters in the 1960s series "Dark Shadows."

The personalities, traits, aesthetics, etc. are so different from the 1960s versions that I don't even attempt to compare.  The Helena Julia is more like a takeoff on the fabulous Bea Arthur's performance as "Maude" than it is somehow in any way a nod at what Grayson did in the series.  I see zero relationship between Joan's characterization of Elizabeth and the character portrayed by Pfeiffer (who was the best thing in the movie, from this viewer's perspective).

I think this way as well about the characters as portrayed in "house of DS" although since it was the same actresses there was an element of "Parallel Time" about that redaction.

cheers, G.
