Picture of the Week: 45 Years Ago This Week...


This week marks the 45th anniversary of Dark Shadows' network debut on ABC-TV, and here's one of the show's very first publicity stills, featuring David Henesy (David Collins), Alexandra Moltke (Victoria Winters and Louis Edmonds (Roger Collins). The picture was taken on location at Seaview Terrace, the Rhode Island estate used for the exterior of Collinwood, and was a particular favourite of Louis Edmonds, who kept a framed copy in his home.

Wonderful picture! It's one of my favorites too.

A great picture. I showed it to Louis at one of his L.A. appearances, explaining how much I liked it because it was a relatively rare color shot. Even better, the three performers were "in character" - so you had a color image of "Roger", "Vicki" and "David" in a scene not found anywhere else. Not feeling 100%, Louis had positioned himself in an aloof spot at the hotel. He enjoyed looking at the favorite photo so much it seemed to fill him with energy, and we had a nice long conversation. Lucky for me to spot him - a wonderful man! - Wes Connors
