Kathryn Leigh Scott: Dark Shadows 50th Anniversary Auction

Actress and author Kathryn Leigh Scott shows off "Dark Shadows" memorabilia that she'll be auctioning off at the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration of the show.

[@jeanettesmith765]

I can't believe Dark Shadows was her first role. She was amazing on the show.

[@tonybuc67]

Kathryn I want to say that Maggie was my favorite lady on the show. You were the down to earth girl next door who was swept up in all the craziness of the Collins family. I loved the early years especially the scenes between you and David Ford who played Maggie's dad Sam Evans. The scenes between Maggie and Sam had a real father/daughter dynamic and were very touching. It was quite relateable and it really grounded the show. That relationship and Sam and Maggie's normal, working class lives, were a great contrast to the wealthy, blue-blood Collins family and also to the supernatural events happening at Collinwood.

She is still beautiful!! Wow.

[@rockyracoon3233]

Yes she is!

[@kimporter1744]

A truly beautiful actress!! I hope I look this great when I'm her age!! So lovely!!💘

[@jeffzloczower2886]

[@SINCITYJIM1]

You are as beautiful as ever. Inside & out. Love Dark Shadows. Fan since '66.

[@mark26714]

Kathryn,you are beautiful and a legend.I love the scenes at ''The Blue Whale'' and watching you work at the coffee shop.

[@wandaburns8075]

I re-watch the series periodically. You still look gorgeous.

[@michaelmanus7765]

Long ago, I worked at a commercial photo lab and some of the customers and clients were of course, from television and movies. A few of Dark Shadows actors came in and were both very nice as well as happy to share what was going on with them at that time. (Stroka and Pennock sp, Selby, and L.Parker). Later KLS came in wanting to get a fair amount of photos for autographs. What transpired was that I left later that day to take photos of her and Frid as she was doing a book signing as well as her photo signing. The best I remember was she was very warm and had a sharp sense of humour. Frid was introduced, shook my hand, and asked what they should be doing for the photo shoot. Both - ever the consummate professionals and we wrapped up within the hour. Location - Hollywood. Book signing at a bookstore in what was the Beverly Center. This was in the 1980s.

[@mrwin8]

What a sweet wonderful caring person you are. I watched DS all the time as a youngster and still could watch them again and again. I will try to support this charity. Thank you for being so genuine!!

[@tracynickels164]

Still looking As lovely as ever!

[@MosaicRose99]

Kathryn you are just lovely and such an inspiration. I remember watching Dark Shadows all those years ago as a young girl. I had the biggest crush on Quentin, but you were always my favorite leading lady on the show. I just loved Josette. :-)

[@taylorhawley616]

She is a classy, lovely woman. Hope in 2021 to meet her if she is at the Dark Shadows reunion. Lara Parker was a beautiful Angeliques DuVall. Those eyes are beyond stunning. However; so were Kathyrn Leigh Scotts looks, esp those brown eyes. Very classy ladies. Hope to meet them someday soon and get a selfie. It truly saddens me I can't ever meet Johnathon Frid, and Joan Bennett and so many others that have passed on. I am 60 ys old now. I am as of today, 1/4/20 I am on Vol 20 of the entire collection. I have 6 more to go and I will have seen the entire Dark Shadows series. YES I AM A HUGE FAN. I love seeing these video snippets on youtube of Dark Shadows, the actors, etc. I live vicariously through these videos and people.

[@debradonato7363]

I LOVE The Black&White Shows 💟🌟♥️🙏🙏

[@FilPol-yu1es]

My Favorite Actress on DS 💫😍

[@anglomik]

So nice to see Ms. Scott is still active, still involved w/DS, & very involved in charity-research work. So very sorry about the death of your husband. You were a tween/teen childhood crush...& you'll always be Maggie Evans to this fan. "Josette...you've come back to me!"

[@danbaranowski]

Kathryn Leigh Scott is, hands down, my favorite Dark Shadows leading lady. I love how her character Maggie Evans was always the prize possession for John Karlen’s Willie Loomis, and later on, David Selby’s Quentin Collins. To this very day, Kathryn still praises Jonathan Frid for saving Dark Shadows from cancellation. Her roles as Maggie Evans (contemporary, 1970 Parallel Time, House of Dark Shadows), Josette duPres (1795-1797), Rachel Drummond and Lady Kitty Soames Hampshire (both 1897) were always awesome to watch. My favorite non-Dark Shadows roles of Kathryn’s are as Doctor Gail Collins in The Incredible Hulk episode “A Solitary Place” and as the Baroness in the Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD episode “Aftershocks.” Even at 80, she still looks smoking hot 😍 And because of Kathryn Leigh Scott, I’m a fan of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild. Reason why is because she used to live in Minnesota pre-Dark Shadows (I’m also a Toronto Maple Leafs fan because Jonathan Frid lived in Toronto pre-and-post Dark Shadows)

[@karendegraaf1146]

I have been a DS fan since 1966. Lost my husband, too. God bless you snd your charity.

[@pedinurse1]

Kathryn, just adored you as Maggie and Josette, its still my fav love story

[@robmartin1246]

Hello Miss Scott....Greetings from Seattle. I watched DS as a kid. When I got home from school, the tv would go on, and we watched all the shows!! I read somewhere that Mr. Curtis, said taping was done live, and no matter what happens, KEEP GOING!! Like when Grayson Hall forgot her lines, Quentin swinging a sword crashing a vase to fall and Break, and a stage hand back stage sneezing "A CHOO!" To this day, I am still a die hard fan of DS. I hope that DS does a convention here in Seattle. Happy Hauntings! Oh, btw, You did a great Josette!!! LOVED that Character!!

[@CrazyCranker]

I was like five or six years old, Dark Shadows was my favorite after school show. However, it gave me terrible nightmares and my mom threatened to not let me watch the show anymore-lol! Also, imagine growing up in an old New England house with the same red bricks in the cellar with creepy rooms just like on the show, you wouldn't want to venture down there as a kid-lol! It definitely made the show so realistic and captured my imagination!

[@hollyprincipato3287]

For it being your first time, you were great. You made me think you were Maggie. You were Jozette. You were Rachel. You were Kitty. Loved you. Still one of this fan's favorite. Thank you for your time on this amazing show.

[@jerrymunroe4089]

Joyous and Sad. Those are also my memories from so long ago now. I loved this show and all the people in it beginning with Kathryn Leigh Scott, from the first black and white episode to the last when I felt as if I lost my best friend I never had.

[@nelsonbeauchemin5931]

Your show has brought me so much happiness and joy over the years and I just want to thank you for your kindness and reaching out to all of us and I hope that a cure is found for this crippling and debilitating disease someday!!! The Best Always..............Nelson Ps Would you be kind enough to give me information concerning the Dark Shadows event!!! Thank You

[@elanewriter9655]

I loved the show and wished it was still on. I think keeping the bloopers in made it even better! I'm sorry for the loss of your husband. May God bless you.

[@adolphlopez7735]

welllllllllll!!!!!!!!! once that Maggie Evans/Jossette Dupre's beauty started off from 60s, that beauty will always will remain on her forever and ever.

[@spectrumlocalb191]

Hi Kathryn this is Scott Denny from South Jersey.My friend Linda and I were the two at 10 that came up to NY on a bus and were outside the studios when Grayson Hall found out we came all the way up there by ourselves she brought us in the studio to meet you and the others and to watch the taping.You were so nice to us thankyou.

[@deronhanson5454]

My mother loved when Dark Shadows would come on-quiet time for her where she wasn't having to break up a fight or discipline in any way us 4 kids-we were glued to the tv

[@reginaosborne6452]

I remember being little and my mama loved Dark Shadows! She would always make us be quiet, when it was on. lol. I loved it and watched it when my daughter was small. We went to a plantation home when she was 3 and she asked the man doing the tour if there was a coffin in the basement and if she could see it. He stopped and laughed saying, "I bet your mama watches Dark Shadows!"

[@crystalnewman4238]

Dark shadows. Was. My. Favorite. I. Loved. It. I was. 11. Years. Old. When. It. Started. ❤

Had the amazing opportunity to rewatch (again), "Who Watches the Watchers" - and again it moved me to tears! Your performance was in no small part of the reason that I absolutely LOVED that episode of Star Trek: The Generation. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you have done!

Patrick Stewart will always be "The PICARD" to Nuria. It's too bad Marina Sirtis didn't age as well as JLS did.

Ms. Scott, I'd just like to mention to your fans here the hilarious role you had as Sally Decker on the first episode of Police Squad opposite the legendary comedian Leslie Nielsen! One of the funniest things I've ever seen!

[@sloanchessman5783]

Kathryn, you’re just as lovely today as you were back in the 60s when your hair was brunette…..and your just as lovely on the inside as well as on the outside.

[@rickkinki4624]

Maggie Evans was the prettiest girl on Dark Shadows, prettier than Carolyn, Victoria, or Angelique. And Miss Scott is still beautiful, even today.

[@pamstubbs4699]

Both my late mother and I watched ..She would have been 101 this fall.

[@bwhittlebury7230]

The character of Josette originally had the last name of LaFreniere. Books by KLS have errors (Brutus Coolins).

[@libertubey2199]

B Whittlebury To be fair, there are many spelling errors in many written pieces nowadays. Proofreading is not what it use to be anywhere.

[@bwhittlebury7230]

No excuse for her. She is bad and stubborn! It (the mistakes) was pointed out for years in reviews on her books on amazon.com and on alt.tv.dark_shadows!

[@libertubey2199]

B Whittlebury I was trying to hold back, but you're right. I even get pissed off when I make unintended typos.

[@southernfriedhippie]

Kathryn, I recently showed dark shadows to my nephews. I think they were developing a crush on you. Ah yes, to be 16 or 19 again! Their father (my brother) survived cancer 5 times, and he's still with us, so anything is possible, medically speaking.

[@johnschultz2968]

I was 12 years old when I saw you portray Maggie Evans on DS for the first time. You were definitely my first celebrity crush. I thought you were the prettiest of the whole female cast. Fast forward 40 years later, I still think you're the prettiest cast member, & you're still very pretty now! And "NO", I am not trying to flirt with you. Just making an honest observation. Trust me. Flirting has NEVER been my forte. I totally suck at it! LOL! ;)

[@blkmtlstv1265]

A true beauty !

[@Snakeriver-t7o]

[@danielcorreard3746]

how is it possible that she is even more beautiful now at 80 then she was on the show maybe she is a vampire lol I've met Katie several times at festivals and she is a very sweet lady

[@thejupiter2574]

Dear Kathryn, since this video is going to wind up existing long after the convention is over, you might consider posting links in the description section above for viewer references. You can post or add a direct link to the Amazon page that shows your book/s esp. this book : "Last Dance at the Savoy" ALSO you could post a link to the leading or best referred to website about the disease itself since it's so unfamiliar to most people I have already forgotten how to pronounce it but a link and full name of the condition in the description would be helpful to future viewers :)

[@mastersadvocate]

Are you really THE Kathryn Leigh Scott from Dark Shadows? I'm watching some videos about Dark Shadows, and finding out what all the excitement was all about. Now I'm hooked. I am Canadian, and never saw the show until finding it on KZbin. Good show, but I felt sorry for Barnabas Collins. Josette did the dirty on him by marrying his uncle, then Angelique curses him to become a vampire! Poor guy! Now to comment on your noble work conserning the disease your poor husband died of. Good for you, Kate! I wish you all the best! God bless you, dear! ~Janet in Canada

None of the original cast liked it they said they said it was better jonathon fred died before it came out cause he was so exited about it and they were all disgusted by it

[@smurfinelli3325]

My Goodness, Kathryn!! I had a huge crush on Maggie Evans. I watched reruns as a kid in the mid eighties..... I just can't believe you are so cute to this day!!!! Astounding! Are you sure that bite was an application?! Haha! My warmest well wishes!! How much for an autographed pic of my favorite Magda, Maggie Evans?! pS....my favorite episode is when you found Sam's pipe....

[@patriciagarcia7480]

Very beautiful lady fine like wine aging. No surgery if she can’t tell, see looks prettier than she was young. I would not miss true I ran home to watch it I was 10 I hope to also look that beautiful like you, next year I turn 60. Ms. K you look great an inspiration for sure not every single women that acts needs surgery. Not a real true flesh and blood women. No offense take it as you see it. Again if someone chooses to transgender that’s fine there choice. But accordingly to the youtube truthers many are MTF? Not every single actress not everyone one them. But the6 claim most are. But anyhow I am a little round women , being a lady absolutely nothing wrong with being one. A lot of suffering and heartache but still it’s what is men or women? Only these earth 🌏 as far as we know and us this type of humans male or female? I don’t know no other planet or humans accept here. Transgender by sexual homosexual transsexual transvite what have you are still either male or female before changing or being changed. I guess making humans more diversified making them the only two original kind starts out as girl or boy in the womb but subject to change in early childhood or right in the process starts in the womb so they claim. Or later on in life they choose to change which ever a leopard can paint it spits its coat but underneath still will always be a leopard . I know off the subject is someone going to say these lady is transgender she really does not look it not at all. In case someone claims it welll.. then she is one a the rare and very few . To me she looks like a lady. Okay got my first the subject but again you look great Ms. Kathy I don’t wish to misspell her name

[@bwhittlebury7230]

This stubborn lady made too many mistakes with her book (LaFrenier being Josette's original maiden last name) and this lady refusing to acknowledge it. Errors in book (Brutus Collins). Not good editing ability does this lady have either.
