[QUOTE="Grant Jennings, post: 284352, member: 746"] I think Linda Evans naturalistic, unaffected style of acting brought some much needed believability to [I]Dynasty[/I]. I think she did a brilliant job of portraying someone who was sensitive and non-confrontational who possessed an inner strength even she was unaware of. The scene in season one where Krystle puts Joseph in his place is an excellent example of this: Krystle doesn't enjoy doing it but does it because she feels backed into a corner. The most telling part comes right after when she has walked away and you can see that this has taken a lot out of her. Another great scene was in season two when Krystle confronts Nick and slaps him. Angela Channing notes Evans' "whispery tone" which I think is used to good effect as Krystle begins speaking to Nick softly (I'm sure Krystle's parents raised her to be ladylike and not raise her voice) but when he evades her questions her tone changes. Evans does the same thing in season nine when Krystle threatens to kill Alexis: she starts trying to reason with Alexis in a soft, whispery tone but when it becomes clear that Alexis won't be reasonable (shocking!) her speech is full-throated. I think the first two seasons of [I]Dynasty, [/I]before it devolved into camp, as well as season nine showcase some excellent acting from Linda Evans and other cast members, notably Pamela Bellwood and Al Corley.
