[on being asked to return to "Dark Shadows" after taking maternity leave] I said I might consider it if Victoria could change her character, if she could get possessed or be bad, because there just wasn't anything to act really. It wasn't a lot of fun. I thought everyone else was having a great time being whatever strange character. Victoria was always the same.... I can understand now that Victoria had to stay the goody-goody because the viewer had to identify with her. She was the outsider like the viewer was. She didn't know what was going on. I think it probably served a purpose in the plot line to have somebody like that.

There were two ways to get out of the studio.... and there were times we would go out the back door.... But then, of course, the kids discovered about the back door.... I can't remember how we got through it. It wasn't so terrible, except that one time somebody tried to pull out my hair on the street. She wanted some hairs to take home. That wasn't - I didn't appreciate that too much.

I realized that "Dark Shadows" was really big when I was working.... with Peter Fonda, and he and I went out to lunch one day. We walked down the street and he told me that people were recognizing me, not him. That seemed crazy, but I guess that's the power of television and millions of people having televisions in their apartments as opposed to going to the movies.
