Because of the history with OLTL, I'm not sure they would make a place for her. But I agree that it would add SO much depth to the show.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-24990930011750889642013-08-09T13:55:56.143-04:002013-08-09T13:55:56.143-04:00Thanks for posting that clip of Ellen Holly eulogi...Thanks for posting that clip of Ellen Holly eulogizing Al Freeman Jr.<br /><br />I'll be honest, I only came to OLTL in the last few years (about 2+ years at the end of its network run, and now online) but that speech moved me.<br />Due to my theater background, I knew a bit more about Al Freeman Jr. (I remember seeing Spike Lee's Malcolm X in the movie theater) but it was only due to blogs like WLS that I learned more about Ellen Holly.<br />I know Ms. Holly is a bit controversial for her outspoken nature but I'm going to be honest--that lady has a dynamic presence! Her gift for oratory and fiery aura really makes me wish that some (re)conciliation can be made between her & the folks at OLTL so that perhaps she can put in an appearance as Jeffrey's grandmother, perhaps?<br />It would be another strong anchor to OLTL's groundbreaking history, which I actually think the show needs right now (although I think the show has been gradually becoming more cohesive).<br />C'mon, Roger you've got clout...how can we make that happen? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-15040839344726534752013-08-09T10:33:14.496-04:002013-08-09T10:33:14.496-04:00Nancy, that's amazing.

I loved Dark Shadows, and when 18 in the summer of 1972, my neighbor/producer Joseph Rothenberger took pity on my unemployed status and gave me a one-day walk on role on ANOTHER WORLD. I still have the paystub and script! Behind the scenes was fabulous. Nancy Lee Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560437903308743227noreply@blogger.com
