Jonathan Frid - Beauty

[@PatriciaArcana1]

Thank you, Patti for your kind words. Yes, Jonathan has redefined my standard for a masculine ideal of beauty. All others recede into the distance.

[@lyngilbert5684]

Dear Heart: I join with the thousands of others who saw the beauty, the strength, the courteousness (which seems to be lacking in today's world) be brought out by an incredible actor for the world to see. Jonathan Frid was one of a kind and his creativity brought forth a character I have not seen since and may never see again. Any woman loved by Barnabas would have known he would protect her and yet he would have let her beauty and wisdom embrace him as well....I could listen to him speak forever. Thank you for this amazing video.

[@tiamia7139]

@@lyngilbert5684 You expressed my exact thoughts so eloquently. What a beautiful man and consummate artist! Those soulful, expressive amber eyes that glinted and glowed with so much love, passion and sadness; the keen intellect within; the graceful way he moved; the beautiful, expressive way he used his hands; the seductive, sensous, perfectly rounded Shakespearean tones; the slow, knowing smile that made our hearts melt. There was only one Barnabas and only one actor who understood what made him tick and who captured his soul, and his name was Jonathan Frid. There will never be another like him. RIP Sweet Prince.

I had the opportunity of meeting him several years ago. He was one of the kindest, humble, and funniest men I have ever met. His fame never went to his head. It was always about the art of acting. I am saddened by his passing. But it makes me smile to know theres an extremely kind vampire in Heaven. Godspeed Mr. Frid.

I'm glad my video was successful in portraying Jonathan Frid's beauty. The director and/or cameraman deserve a lot of credit for all those lovely closeups!

[@gamewizard7562]

Jonathan Frid's portrayal of the vampire with a soul will never be matched by anyone. Tim Burton made a huge mistake even trying to go there and thinking that Johnny Depp was anywhere near close to Frid's talent.

What a beautiful tribute to JF. Such a great actor. He can convey so much without saying a word. This brought me to tears.

It was as if he came from another time; his unique profile, his intuitive wisdom.Jonathan Frid was truly devoted to his character filled with a poignant anachronistic sensitivities no end. Truly, a one of a kind actor that makes himself known once every hundred or so years. His soul was indeed the man he became. May GOD forever keep him; & may we always remember what beauty he did ingrain upon our hearts & minds & generations to come--Thank you Patricia Arcana--Truly this is a masterpiece of memorable work of art--Well done. I hope Jonathan saw this before he was taken from us in 2012-April-14th....RMA; Bakersfield, CA....

As we all mourn the loss of Mr. Frid and possibly the end of an era, I say Patricia, that your tribute is the best on youtube of Jonathan Frid.

Ah, Jonathan. You enraptured us with your grace, your voice, your magnificent eyes. You moved us in so many ways with the artistry of your portrayal. You cared to give Barnabas Collins that human spark...and that made all the difference! You made those half hour episodes thrilling and exciting. They enchant us still...nearly 50 years on.

@@tiamia7139 You are so right! I still watch episodes when I'm lucky enough to find a channel that has them. I remember when it was announced that Dark Shadows was going off the air back in the 70's. I was so upset and was saddened that it would probably be the last we'd see of Jonathan Frid, Lara Parker, Louis Edmonds, etc. Back in the 60's that show had a higher viewership than some of the soap operas of that era. Thank God technology allows us to still watch those old episodes.

[@ThymeBottle]

There is much beauty in this: from the images of this brilliant actor portraying his most beloved character, to the sweeping music. The 'sensitive soul' is mirrored in his beautiful, riveting eyes, heart-stirring expressions, and graceful movements. Even without his magnificent voice, his haunting presence as Barnabas is felt. He is splendid, and mesmerizing to watch.

[@janetlieb2507]

[@tiamia7139]

I was one of those Baby Boomers who ran home from the bus stop each day to watch DS at 4 pm. I was 15 and our family lived in a very beautiful but spooky pre-Civil War house on the Potomac River (we weren't "alone" in that house, lol). It was the perfect setting to watch my favorite show. My mother was from Portland, Maine - of ALL places! Joan Bennett's "Mid-Atlantic" posh accent was lovely to the ear -- but not a true Maine accent (think "Gorton Fisherman" or the Ocean Spray "Cranberry Guy"). The rocky coastline of Maine is very romantic, spooky and mysterious, especially as dusk approaches. I spent many afternoons sitting on the craggy rocks at Cape Elizabeth watching the waves crash onto the rocks below - just like the ones in the Dark Shadows opening. No wonder I loved the show and its setting so much! Weirder still, I shared the exact same name (first, middle and last!) as one of DS's child stars. She died recently but I messaged her several years ago and got a sweet response! Jonathan Frid, however, was my absolute favorite. Even as a 15 yr old and knowing absolutely nothing about acting, I sensed Frid's GREATNESS as an actor. He took my breath away, gave me chills (and still does nearly 60 years later!). Jonathan Frid was the very embodiment of Barnabas...his VOICE, the way he glided into a room. I loved watching him even when he wasn't speaking. He was so immersed in the character and could convey so much in just a furtive glance, a sigh, a tilt of his head, a purse of his lips, the way he moved those beautiful hands. The expressiveness in those eyes - you could see Barnabas' "wheels turning", lol. Frid had such a physicality, a presence and energy about him. I am now binge watching DS on Prime Video and find myself rewatching certain scenes to study all his artful and subtle nuances. Frid had "dug deep" in his understanding of Barnabas Collins and was absolutely brilliant in his portrayal. What a treasure and legacy he left us! RIP Mr. Frid. 🌹

[@MoosicandCritters]

Just beautiful! A very touching tribute to a beautiful man! Wow, I'm choking back tears....

[@johnsmales9691]

John Barry's beautiful soundtrack captures the tragedy of Barnabas so well here. . . The camera sees everything--everything. He may have been struggling to remember his next line, but we saw the pain and conflict of a troubled mind--and Barnabas came to life. Method acting, or just an actor trying to get through another day's shooting? It doesn't matter--it's magic, and "belongs to the ages." Dark Shadows was a rare gem and this tribute captures the dignity and spirit of the actor who gave himself totally to his role. Thank you for this, and I hope his cast members will receive equal treatment, because the ensemble deserves this attention--and to be remembered.

[@melissaking6019]

Thank you, Patricia, for this touching video. JF was stunning to look at and possessed a mesmeric, romantic, Byronic hero quality as Barnabas. A key part to his power as an artist were his beautiful, deeply expressive eyes through which he could filter a full range of nuanced emotions. JF's eyes spoke volumes. Great cheekbones too. When he's on screen you can't take your eyes off him. The "Somewhere in Time" music is the perfect accompaniment to the montage. Bravo!

R.I.P, Jonathan Frid. I met him once. I had done an interview with him when he was performing his one man "reader theatre," and brought his show to the Smith opera House in Geneva, NY. A very gracious man. He asked me to invite my friends to his final dress rehearsal. At that time, I used a wooden cane. When he saw me, he took the cane and exclaimed, "I used to use that to beat Willy!"

[@tackysum]

I may be wrong, but I believe DS and Jonathan were the first to portray the vampire as a tortured being and not as pure evil. The character of Barnabas seemed to be made for Jon and he inhabited that role and those clothes effortlessly. This was a great video to find today. RIP Jonathan Frid. You are, and will always, be,remembered fondly.

[@11redlions]

Yes he said he looks for the good and evil in his characters because he said he never met a person who doesn't have it. he said being unpredictable is the essence of acting, he portrayed him as a man with a secret,. not just evil like Bella Lagosi.

[@rebelcard]

Beautiful. It is his ability to convey emotion, feeling, mood and thoughts through his facial expression that grips. He had such sad soulful eyes and such an expressive face. Nobody comes across as passionate and romantic as he does. Wish we could have seen more love, and happiness for the character he played though.

I loved it. I got the chance to meet Jonathan in Indiana when he preformed his one man reader theater program. It was in Crawfordsville in 98'. Me and my late Fiance were going to see him in September of 01', but sadly, the tragedy of 9/11 cancelled our plans to go. My late Fiance never got to meet him. This video montage along with the Somewhere in time sound track really captivates Frid at his finest, and yes, it was actually the Barnabas and Josette storyline is how I essentially met my late Fiance online. We had a love for the original DS series and the original Star Trek as well. 🥰😊🙂 I believe Jonathan (as the immortal Barnabas), will happily continue to capture many women's hearts. He was extremely gracious and very sweet when I met him. I could definitely see the aforementioned qualities and charisma he possessed and brought it to life through his role as Barnabas. I can only imagine the excitement those young fans must have experienced when meeting their favorite actors after rehearsals/taping let out at the ABC studios back in the day.

[@Susie6432]

Watching DS now on Netflix as an adult, I look past all the special effects,etc. and realize this show was SO ahead of its time. It has the main timeline, has the 1796 time to explain the characters origins, has the future storyline, and has the alternate ending storyline (if some events had happened differently). Sounds a lot like another favorite show of mine, LOST. Lost was a big hit and first aired in 2004. DS first aired in 1967. Good for you DS. You and Jonathan were both pioneers.

This character was the bringer of compassion, reason and humanity. Barnabas was tragically flawed only via his circumstances. Love was both abundant and cruel. Saw a remembered clip, that I viewed in it's original airing, only once, fifty years ago. Barnabas arrived, confronted crazy Trask, applying correction to evil. It evoked exactly the same reaction from me! Right has arrived to correct. Hopeful! Same thing in a scene with Victoria Winters! Dan Curtis said Frid had a calming effect on women. Ok. Thank you for your portrayal of the almost antihero Mr. Frid! Your character will be within me for the rest of my life! Both beloved and admired!! What a great enduring legacy!

Got amazon prime to watch all the dark shadows episodes, it was my dad's favorite show growing up and he has me hooked! I love me some Barnabas Collins and I have a major crush on him

A very touching, beautiful and moving tribute to an exceptional actor and human being.

You have managed to combine perfection in sound and vision with this piece. I can't stop playing it. What Edgar Allan Poe said! Barnabas Collins is and ever shall be my "ideal" of perfection. Thank you.

[@ljoneswright]

Yes... he is the ideal of perfection... to be loved and desired by JF's Barnabas Collins is the ideal of the yearnings of a women's heart. I don't know how Vickie could resist him.

Just ...WOW. I can only second all the nice comments others have posted. I've always loved Jonathan Frid SOOO much as Barnabas Collins since I was a run-home-to-see-Dark-Shadows kid in middle school. Thank you Patricia, for this very moving and beautiful video. :-)

Thanks Patricia, I watched Dark Shadows when it replayed on the Sci-Fi channel, Jonathan Frid as Barnabas was hypnotic and though he wasn't handsome in the conventional way, he still had the inner beauty to make his portrayal amazing!!!
