she had nice blonde hair but I never thought Nancy barrett was pretty. Terry Crawford had the same kinda chiseled jaw features.

House of Dark Shadows because many believe it saved M-G-M from bankruptcy.

I believe Nancy appeared on ONE LIFE TO LIVE years after DARK SHADOWS went off the air. As did Grayson Hall. And Anthony George (the 2nd Burke Devlin). Perhaps Nancy got tired of acting, I don't know.
Nancy was also on Ryan's Hope. so many beautiful women graced dark shadows but Angelique's evil was all that more memorable because of lara parker's beauty.

Lysette Anyhony did play Angelique on the Dark Shadows 90's version. She was up to par with Lara Parker. Barbara Blackburn played Carolyn, but she didn't hold a candle to Nancy Barrett,
my memory is fading but irregardless lysette Anthony wasn't pretty at all as Angelique. she delivered her lines with this heavy French accent. lara is the one and only Angelique and that horrible 2012 movie with her driving around in a red sports car was an insult to lara.

A big NAY to Ben Cross as Barnabas again....first of all he's too old. Second, he was nowhere near as sympathetic as Barnabas as Jonathan Frid was.
I actually like the Tim Burton film with Johnny Depp. I do wish it had been a little bit more serious in tone, but I liked it for what it was.
It would be neat if they could attempt a revival of the show again, but finding the right actor to play Barnabas would be essential. I just hope they don't try and remake HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS like the 1991 show did the first few episodes.
yeah, I noticed that while I was watching it for the first time back on NBC in 1991. I thought this is the Gordon Russell-Sam Hall script from 1970. I also thought actor jim fyffe was silly as willie. willie loomis wasn't a buffoon.
yeah, I hafta agree ben cross is too old now but they really screwed the casting of Angelique. they needed somebody with the alluring beauty of lara parker. lysette Anthony who played Carolyn woulda been better as Angelique.
I've been thinking of DS of late watching it on Decades but they jumped some episodes just last nite which I doan appreciate including Frid's intro ep. I was looking forward to seeing Roger trying to roust willie outta bed. so bleep decades. the 3 pivotal characters that must be gotten right imo casting-wise are Barnabas, Julia and Angelique
even as a vampiress this woman is seriously hot.

I actually figured that one out. The L-I-S episode is a good one. It was a good show in season one (b/w). The color in the other two seasons looked good, but the stories were lame, even by Lost In Space standards.
I think the 3rd season LIS color is much better than the 2nd season.

Why do we have to chose between these two??? They are both great in their own right. I can't imagine Harrison Ford in "The Man who Shot Liberty Valance" just as I can't imagine Wayne in "The Fugitive"
I doan even imagine Ford in The Fugitive just this guy.

...an innocent victim of blind justice. falsely convicted for the murder of his wife. reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him on route to the death house...
freed him to hide in lonely desperation. to change his name, to toil at many jobs. freed him to search for a one-armed man he saw leave the scene of the crime...
freed him to run before the relentless pursuit of the police lieutenant obsessed with his capture.

Clark Griswold: look at it this way, honey. this is a part of America that we never get to see."
ellen: that's good.
Clark: no, that's bad. we can't close our eyes to the plight of the cities.

Trevor's best role.

great lines too...
"...you find it necessary to order a man aloft. of course he realizes that if his fingers slip from the icy shrouds for a second, he'll perish immediately. now this is a typical seaman, a half-witted wife-beating habitual drunkard. his whole life is spent evading and defying authority. well sir, what is it that makes this man go aloft?...
you can put it in one word, fear. fear of what you'll do to him. fear of punishment so vivid in his mind that he fears it even more than sudden death...
now don't mistake me! I'm not advising cruelty or brutality with no purpose. my point is cruelty with purpose is not cruelty. it's efficiency! a man will never disobey you once he's watched his shipmate's backbone laid bare. he remember those white ribs staring at him and he'll hear the whistle and his flesh will jump for the rest of his life."

"has your mutinous friend told you or is he going to keep you in the dark...
now hear the truth! the king's navy will not rest until every mutineer is captured and executed. wherever you go, whatever you do a thousand ships will search you out."
strength, fortitude and an iron will.

So, I guess it's pointless to tell newbie film fans Joan Bennett was Constance Bennett's kid sister, right? 😮

I didn't watch because according to my on screen schedule the movie svenstupid was showing was the invisible woman so I did not tune in so if they did show the invisible man I missed it.

I consider it lazy on tcm's part not to be showing Air Force with John Garfield on veterans day which I now consider an overlooked classic.
