When I look at those same scenes/episodes today, as a grown up and a dramatist, I love the unabashed brashness of Jennifer Ashe's Meg Snyder. She was ahead of Madonna in terms of Blonde Ambition (LOL).<br />And as Meg matured into adulthood, she became more nuanced while maintaining that complexity. <br />It would have been interesting to see where Jennifer Ashe would've taken a fully adult Meg (although the script would have to do some of the lifting too).<br />Marie Wilson seems like a nice person and her performances were pleasant, but I missed that spark from the fiery Meg of yore. Jennifer Ashe's Meg was a true firework!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-82534137323087490212013-11-01T10:18:38.417-04:002013-11-01T10:18:38.417-04:00That was excellent casting.

Marie Wilson has really impressed me with her comedic skills in roles post-ATWT but it always drove me crazy to see her version of Meg walking across a Snyder field in high heels. I can't imagine Jennifer Ashe's Meg ever doing that.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-85034937443770904132013-11-01T10:05:01.685-04:002013-11-01T10:05:01.685-04:00I loved (LOVED) Jennifer Ashe as Meg -- one of my ...I loved (LOVED) Jennifer Ashe as Meg -- one of my favorite characters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-63482516948268944852013-11-01T09:59:51.150-04:002013-11-01T09:59:51.150-04:00Toni Kalem and Maeve Kinkead played Angie on AW.Toni Kalem and Maeve Kinkead played Angie on AW.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-49166474637286258802013-11-01T09:57:01.953-04:002013-11-01T09:57:01.953-04:00Wasn't she Angie Perrini on AW prior?Wasn't she Angie Perrini on AW prior?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-46805446842208879962013-11-01T08:25:04.575-04:002013-11-01T08:25:04.575-04:00Carol Ann is Annie Stewart; the man playing "...Carol Ann is Annie Stewart; the man playing "Ronnie Talbott", Liz Talbotts brother is Peter Chapman, who went on to GL as a boyfriend to Holly in the mid to late 70's.
