Message: <blockquote data-quote="Toni" data-source="post: 242632" data-attributes="member: 82">Thanks for your words, I myself haven´t felt too creative lately, neither re. my videos nor my fanfics! Quarantine made me lazier.Not sure if I´m too good at anything else, but I´d like to think that I´m good at writing and doing research on subjects I love. I still have "physical" books though I hardly use them. All the stuff you can read in my sites, except for a few exceptions, has been written and translated by me. Some of them a lot of years ago (in the 90s!) and recycled them for my site, that´s why getting ripped-off is so frustrating.I also collect a lot of things related to the main stars of "Dallas" and "Knots Landing": I have most of the movies and TVM´s they have done, their biographies, some rarities, I think I could say I´m a investigator of everything "Dallas"! I think that most of their stars were terribly underrated, especially in countries like mine. That specific series genre has always been treated as something that is only watched by "housewives" (I knw it´s a very humiliating term in this context, but that´s what Spanish culture is, still). Like I always say, if only women watched "Dallas", why was everybody talking about it the next day? (In Spain it was aired first on Tuesdays, and then in Catalona, on Sundays).I think the actors are very important in the genre of supersoaps. They didn´t have to look great (and they did!), they had to take control of their characters as the original cast did (and I´m including Charlene Tilton here too). Once unprofessional actors like Ms. Presley were allowed to come aboard, everything started to tumble (slowly but relentlessly). When half the cast was replaced by newcomers with scarce experience, there went the show... Sorry for going OT!As I said before, "The Muppet Show" was not as big here as in UK or USA, mainly because many actors were not popular (though they were known by cinephiles). I loved the "Star Wars" parody with Miss Piggy as Princess Leia, and to this date, I couldn´t watch any of the TV shows from beginning to end. There a lot of stars that I love, aside from Julie Andrews: Liza Minnelli, Lesley Ann Warren, Cheryl Ladd or Ethel Merman. Though I´ve seen on YouTube some truly remarkable numbers... [MEDIA=youtube]7N4RT6Te-mw[/MEDIA] (She´s done it again! She´s overshadowed moi!) Miss Piggy only plays role models so she would play the biggest female characters on the supersoaps: Pamela Barn on "Dalliances", Alexis Coldly on "Pignasty", (a younger) Angela Churning on "Frog Crest", and Abby Friedcake on "Knots Pigging". She would wear big hats, would get in and out of rooms, would eat something after every sentence, and would roll into the mud with pleasure.. [ATTACH=full]23381[/ATTACH] "Moi had a big pigsty, <s>nine </s>ten beautiful piglets, as people say it was, perfect. Oh when it´s snack time here, by the way...?"I used to wear suit and tie, or uniform, at work, but not anymore. Maybe that´s why I´ve spent the last ten years wearing casual clothes, the classical "jeans and something else". Love striped shirts, even the tackiest Bobby Ewing ever wore. Also polo shirts and T-shirts in summer. And sneakers, always.To be honest, not even one. I do experience the past and future thanks to the movies and TV series (from "The Flintstones" to "The Jetsons"!), and I´m not especially attached to this era, even less this year with the covid problem.[ATTACH=full]23382[/ATTACH] I´m like her, I´ve experienced all ages. But I´m younger (so Imdb says...)</blockquote>

Verification: Who played Sue Ellen in Dallas?
