Mrs. Hall is my all time favorito! actress. Although I was not aware of her until Dark Shadows, at the tender age of 12, she made a lasting impression on me from her betrayal of Dr. Julia Hoffmann. I don't care what anyone else says. There was an obvious chemistry between Grayson Hall and Jonathan Frid. Some things an actor and actress can disguise and some things they can't. Mr. Frid was obviously attracted to Mrs. Hall, although he would never had acted upon it. He was the perfect gentleman. That being said, their betrayal of Julia and Barnabas was so real. I was left with a broken corazón when the mostrar ended without these two characters( who very obviously were in love) did not end up together. I don't think I'll ever get over it! Julia and Barnabas actually looked like a married couple the way they interacted with such mutual respect and devotion. The only thing lacking was the sexual intimacy. It was very disappointing not to be able to see that happen. I would have been happy just to see Barnabas declare his amor for Julia and give her one passionate kiss. Grayson Hall was certainly más sexy in her 40's than any of those young women, on the show, were in their 20's. Her legs were beautiful and she had a beautiful face.
I thought that Mrs. Hall was an awesomely talented actress and a beautiful, classy lady! It grieves me that she died so young. I thought she was wonderful in " Night of the Iguana" and " That Darn Cat," and I would like to see más of her movies.
I've heard that Grayson Hall and Jonathan Frid were close friends and I'm sure that he had fond memories of her. I loved them both and miss them, terribly. May they rest in peace. No other actress o actor could adaquately replace them as the characters of Julia and Barnabas. They will forever be in my mind and heart.
