Pat Crowley, well remembered by Dynasty fans as Emily Fallmont, has died.

She would have been 92 tomorrow!

(For ages, I'd always read she was born in 1929 -- but all the sources today say: 17 September 1933).

She once described Emily Fallmont as "pathetic." And, let's face it, Emily died while running -- on foot -- into the side of a stationary taxi cab.

I agree with her about her character. Pat was a classy lady and a very good actress, and, well, another talented pro wasted by "Dynasty".

According to the seasonal bible, Emily was to commit suicide.
And in the first version of the story outline of "The Secret" (that I got 2 weeks ago), she shot herself while on the phone with Blake.
It was Caress who was to be hit by a car and die (because of Ben).
Both plans were changed.

They should have stuck with that; so much more interesting.

I discovered a four-page article about Pat Crowley in a September 1989 issue of Soap Opera Digest.

The article focuses primarily on Pat Crowley's time on Generations, then on the beginnings of her career, and finally on Dynasty. Pat Crowley calls Emily Fallmont a "very drab wishy-washy role."

She looks so much more beautiful and glamorous in this article than she did on DYNASTY.

Spelling's horrid flatlighting. Pat Crowley looked gorgeous on FALCON CREST in 1984, pasty and doughy on DYNASTY just two years later.

Sam Elliot complained in the press about how his then-wife, Katharine Ross, looked on THE COLBYS due to "Spelling's flatlighting".

Yes, I still can't get over how pretty Katharine Ross looked in "Secrets of a Mother and Daughter", which aired only 3 years prior to THE COLBYS.
