[QUOTE="Jock Is Sleighing., post: 317452, member: 17"] I somehow can't imagine Susan being that abrasive about Jane, despite any sour grapes she might have had about Maggie's shocking death. Over the years various stories and show publicity bubbled up; about other actors and their FC work with Jane, namely Lana Turner; male lead Robert Foxworth, Mel Ferrer, Italian movie star Gina Lollobrigida, Celeste Holm and English thespian Simon MacCorkindale. As always the source is very important, together with the tone and the content. Was the detail hearsay or from the horse's mouth? People will then argue well all these actors can't be wrong. They were of course in a showbiz world and when a show is doing its very best to succeed in a ratings battle, you can have anything thrown into the equation. I would tend to believe what Susan said (please see below). Other core cast have been equally complimentary about Jane; David Selby, Lorenzo Lamas, Ana Alicia and Margaret Ladd. [MEDIA=youtube]aK9ukW5azj0[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]vH2yfpqug1Q[/MEDIA] [B]Susan Sullivan speaks about working with one of Hollywood's Golden Oldies Jane Wyman, ('behind the scenes'; from season 1 until two episodes into season 9, 1981 - '89): "Jane was a very strong influence and the most professional person I ever worked with. I have seen her battle through illness and fatigue and still keep working. She says: 'Let's get this done! We have a job to do.' Then everyone gets behind her. She is always willing to help younger actors. She gave instructions nicely and with humor. She once said to me: 'You can tell anybody anything if you do it with humor.' She ruled the set with a kind and intelligent hand."[/B] [/QUOTE]
