Marie, You really moved me with your recollections of the great Jonathan Frid. I only wish I could have told him while he was here how I adored his performances on Dark Shadows,it was where most of us Americans had the chance to experience his amazing acting. Jonathan was able to convey his feelings, and moods without uttering a single word .His facial expressions, and those penetrating eyes of his said it all.His voice was able to convince those around him of anything.I truly regret that I never watched Dark Shadows until a few years ago,and Jonathan had already left us.I would've loved to let him know how his portrayal of Barnabas,and Bramwell made me an enamored Fan for life. I miss you Jonathan.Marie, thank you for sharing your memories,and kind words with us. Much Love, Cindy 💕

So ironic that you should mention going on to "the next thing" because I followed to straight to that thing, Somerset! I loved your portrayal of India Delaney, it was delicious! My friends and I laughed over the time India got hit on the head with the candlestick and the show moved so slowly, it seemed like she laid behind the couch unconscious for 2 weeks! When you started talking about playing Eleanor, I was wishing I could've seen it and then you do the monologue from it - talk about instant gratification! Seeing you over the years in videos realaed to Dark Shadows has let me know that you are a warm and wonderful person and I admire you greatly. I LOVED you in the Dark Shadows Christmas Carol, you were superb, as were all the others. I hope that you get to do something similar again soon. Watching the DS Christmas Carol has already become a holiday tradition for me and I treasure it, not only for it's greatness, but to get to see all my favorites doing what they do best and to see Mitchell and Lara one last time. God Bless You Marie, much love to you!

Marie,you played three of the most diverse characters in the show.Eve was a wicked, horrible woman.She made Angelique look like June Cleaver.Magda was a sad woman who lost her mind.Megan Todd was at first a very likable character whose life turned tragically wrong.She bacame a part of the Leviathans then a vampire who was staked.
