She was an absolute stunner back in the day. I wonder though, was it a wood stake or a silver bullet?

RIP Angelique.

Lara Parker was my immortal beloved. I don’t believe she knew that but it’s true. I binged watched Dark Shadows a year ago. I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid and I was surprised that even at my age my immortal beloved was still my immortal beloved. Some or rather many of the shots of her were absolutely breathtaking. RIP Angelique…

'Dark Shadows' was on Daytime TV when I was a teen. We would RUN home from school to catch some of it at lunch break - then RUN back to school.

It was always a treat to get to see a full episode if you were home sick.

I watched a few episodes of Dark Shadows, to see what my folks were up to in the 60’s.
Live tv, it seemed, b&w and loaded with bloopers.
To close the book I watched a 2012 movie, Dark Shadows. Jonathan Frid and Lara Parker appeared in it briefly (cameo).
I guess you had to be there. Mom and Dad will be sorry to hear about this.
RIP, sixties icon.
