Actually, Diana really WAS Laura Collins.  We just don't discuss that fire in that apartment house in Phoenix, and all the other unpleasantness involved....

Glad to hear folks from LA checking in.  I hope everyone is OK!  It sounds very similar to the earthquakes I experienced when I lived in Taiwan in the 80s.

What a wonderful gallery of good wishes and warm regards from all of you!  And how too, too kind of my dear friends to post so prominently that I am now Half a Century Old ... not that old, of course ... if you're a tree!

A special treat over the weekend (I was down in Maryland visiting family) was that an old friend came by and showed me his little "Nokia" gizmo on which he had downloaded Grayson Hall's episode of Man from UNCLE.  We watched Grayson inform Theo Marcuse (another of the much-lamented great ones) that she works in bed "only during the daytime, Dahling."  Grayson SPEAKS IT again!!

Oh yes, Mysterioso Dahling, I will take one Tapioca and give it a brisk, well-lubricated TWIST.

Cheers!

Nice montage.  Nice to see Bob Cobert looking so fit and in such a great mood!

She played Brutus Collins' wife Amanda (?) in one episode of PT 1841.  And in NoDS, she played a character who was never seen on the show.  If she was blurring the TV show and the movies together, that's at least eight--nine if you regard original Charity and possessed Charity as different people (which I would say they were).

It just reminds me of the time years ago when David Selby and another actor performed a play David had written about Lincoln coming to life in the Lincoln Memorial and having a lengthy conversation with a black janirtor in the present day.  I found the play fascinating but it was performed in the main Festival hall and it was difficult to concentrate because so many DS fans with no interest in anything not related to DS or old TV shows were constantly running in and out of the theatre.

Still, I got from it a memory I will always cherish.  And I learned just how deep the amazing David Selby's integrity runs.  Not to mention his reservoirs of patience.

G.

Um, I think I just did.

:::heavy sigh:::  I am soooo not ready for the Capn Barnaby action figures...

No new content of note, but a brief report about the Festival appeared on the new website for the magazine Cinema Retro, http://www.cinemaretro.com.  The notice included a familiar publicity photo of Jonathan Frid as Barnabas (probably dating to 1968) and mention of the Johnny Depp movie project.
