...and respecting their late colleague’s intention to keep the work out of the hands of advertisers.

The first time I saw her in Boston Public I noticed her resemblance to her mother right away and looked her up.  But her parent’s fame isn’t the most important part of the story; see the Who Do You Think You Are? episode where she looks at the fate of her Jewish family members in Europe to know that family heritage…

She was one of cable TVs pioneers, and deserves a lot more admiration for producing Faery Tale Theater, Tall Tales and Legends, and others.  Goodbye Ms. Duvall.

Yes, and supposedly brilliant at it, but the writing undermined that assertion.  I stopped watching early on, even though I think Harden is a wonderful actor.

I am not a fan of contemp Christian stuff, but she is gone too young, and that’s a shame. R.I.P.

Most accurate casting, Howard DaSilva as Franklin in the film 1776.  My favorite casting, Timothy Busfield as Franklin on the TV show Sleepy Hollow.
