Jonathan Frid- The River Flows in You

Another tribute to Jonathan Frid! The river flows in him :)

[@dianemartin5961]

I had your pictures on my wall, Jonathan. I loved you and Dark Shadows. My mother babysat a little girl who was scared of you. Mom paid me to take your pictures down. You were so good at your craft. We fans will never forget you. I will always love you.

[@teresajeffries7611]

Such a handsome man, so talented. You made me love vampires. I even made Barnabas vampire teeth out if construction paper when I was in the 4th grade and sold them for 25 cents. The principal's son was my business manager and he took a nickle for "advertising "! We got caught and had to give the money back, but you were my hero!

[@robinberthelot5145]

Such a great, good hearted man. He may be gone but will always be remembered for his Barnabas Collins role on Dark Shadows. We love you Jonathan Frid ❤

[@cherylbreeger-braun7931]

Thank you for this wonderful tribute to Jonathan. Great pictures and beautiful music. I never got to meet him, and that's a shame, because he seemed like a nice man.

[@mabel8179]

He was such a nice talented man. Happy birthday Jonathan x

BRIEF COMMENT: I NEVER KNEW NOR MET THIS GENTLEMAN, BUT BELIEVE ME WHEN i TELL YOU THESE TWO VIDEOS SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT THE MAN'S CHARACTER & LEGACY TO HIS MANY FANS. THE SECTION WHERE HE BRIEFLY DANCES W/HIS FORMER CO-STAR MRS. LARA PARKER IS PRICELESS & CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. A TRUE CLASS ACT IN THE CARY GRANT MOLD, THAT TYPE OF GUY. (RIP) OUR DEAR JONATHAN FRID, I CERTAINLY WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AS THAT SAD VAMPIRE, BARNABAS COLLINS. THANKS FOR SCARING ME WHEN I WAS A KID! UPDATE-MRS. LARA PARKER, OUR BELOVED & WICKED ANGELIQUE HAS ALSO PASSED AWAY DUE TO COMPLICATIONS FROM CANCER. NOW THEY ARE BOTH JOINED IN HEAVEN TOGETHER FOREVER.

[@mikeinsf]

My favorite vampire. Thank you, Jonathan Frid.💖

I just found this post in the Jonathan Frid Facebook Grp >>>>> "" Mr. Frid was a proud Canadian. When he retired he moved back to Ontario Canada where he had family and many friends. Jonathan Frid never married ( obviously ) and he never had any children. However, he was survived by his beloved cousins and his brother's children, and by his Grand niece and nephews who loved and adored him. They called him 'Uncle John'. He was dearly loved. Mr. Frid was not a religious man so there was no ceremony after he died. He never liked to be fussed over and he did not want a funeral nor a memorial. He preferred to be remembered alive and enjoying life. Mr. Frid did not want a final resting place in fear of the many obsessive fans he had who would seek out the grave of 'Barnabas Collins' and set up memorials and write graffiti about his character. He didn't want fans to put him up on a pedestal like a movie idol. He never wanted that kind of attention. Jonathan Frid said that many fans had trouble separating him, the actor from the character he had played. Fans would address him as Barnabas instead of his real name and they'd ask him a lot of 'vampire' related questions. He did not want those kinds of obsessive fans to bother his relatives . Mr. Frid would often say that he was nothing like his Barnabas character. He also stated several times that he would like to be remembered for more than just his work on Dark Shadows. He had twenty years of acting experience before he even appeared on the TV show and several years of doing dramatic readings in his reader's theater and in his one-man shows and his tour with the play, Arsenic and Old Lace with actors Marion Ross, Jean Stapleton and Larry Storch. Mr. Jonathan Frid was so much more than just his Barnabas character. R I P .""

Love you Jonathan Frid !, you are the best vampire ever and great actor. Loved all of the characters very much. Angelique and really all the women were great actresses and very beautiful. They keep trying to reboot DS, I almost hope they don't because you know they'll frig it up like everything now.

[@lylepetrov6505]

Mighty fine tribute. Will you say the title of the mudical piece, please¿

[@mickeymartin464]

[@JonnyTheLeprechaun]

I Ioved him.

[@adolphlopez7735]

and as well, he also still show some machoism good looks of his sexism, especially when been accompanied with Angelique and Maggie/Jossette.

[@orlandl.blanchard5423]

May he rest in peace.

[@carolschmeer8595]

I wish I could have met him❤

[@marthajibbs5179]

Can ne one tell me if he had children or a spouse. This man is the one n only vampire. My opinion. I'm in my 60s n believe this i just started watching dark shadows back again cuz the show scared the hell out me especially The 🎶 😂

[@kimberleyfcummings5123]

I don't think that he ever married. Bachelor all his life. What a beautiful person.

[@thejupiter2574]

No Martha Mr. Frid never married. It is well known among many, many older DS fans that Mr. Frid was a Gay person in his private life. He never adopted any children neither. He had a large family that he loved and he was never alone. He once told the press that he enjoyed his independence and that he was a 'confirmed bachelor'. I had no idea what that meant term meant at the time until I looked it up years later. He was a sweet, kind and very patient person. Both he and Louis Edmonds were so charming witty and were true gentlemen.

[@daveyhouston]

he was a very handsome man btw why doesnt lara parker age?

[@adolphlopez7735]

and as for you, Elaine Fuzari. you too seems to be also the most qualifying congragulatives most beautiful woman ever to be cast on DS.

[@adolphlopez7735]

welllll!!!! Mary Dallas, you have a sort of congrats looks on your looks. you've yourself should be the most congratulational beautiful woman in the world to be one of the cast of DS.

I can send it to you if you'd like me to. Just private message me your email :)

[@adolphlopez7735]

now, Barnabas Collins, be a gentleman. fix that silly tie up, like that ol' silly Willie Loomis who needs to do. just kidding.

[@marilynwillett804]

I wonder if he'd like a female companion. My husband left, so he's my imaginary husband,

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Definitely not. He was fruitier than Richard Simmons.

[@valerieaugustine8083]

@@SuperPussyFinger funny .....

[@thejupiter2574]

@@SuperPussyFinger The word is 'Gay' not fruity. Your 'fruity' comment is rude and insulting to gay people and I'm sure that women view your profile name as being very insulting and immature. I'm surprised that youtube even approved it. SMH

[@thejupiter2574]

@@valerieaugustine8083 sorry but I dont think so. This is why gay actors from the show, many of them , could not come out of the closet and live their truths back then because of insensitive social ignorance, bigotry , religious hatred. It's all taught and passed on down to the next generation of kids and it will never stop.
