About the cast members:
Kathryn Leigh Scott - One of the Orginal Dark Shadows Cast
Characters: Maggie Evans, Josette Dupres, Kitty Soams, Maggie
Collins, Rachel Drummond. Original Playboy Bunny of the NY Bunny
Club. Creator/proprietor of Pomegranate Press.
Denise Nickerson - Nancy was one of the few actors to appear in both
films House of Dark Shadows (1970) and Night of Dark Shadows (1971).
In HODS she played Carolyn, a sexy vampire; and in NODS she and John
Karlen played husband and wife writing team Clair and Alex Jenkins.
Though Dark Shadows fans remember her fondly as the wide-eyed
innocent Amy Jennings (or perhaps the precocious Nora Collins),
Denise Nickerson played her most famous role-as a big human
blueberry, a year after leaving the soap's cast. Denise played
Violet Beauregarde in the classic film Willy Wonka and The Chocolate
Factory in 1971.
Diana Millay -Diana made TV history when her role as a Phoenix on
Dark Shadows pushed the soap opera in a decidedly supernatural
direction, which helped propel the show to cult-classic status.
Following her years on Dark Shadows, starring Joan Bennett, she was
a regular on the soap opera Secret Storm. Diana's motion pictures
credits include Paramount's Tarzan and the Great River in which she
played a modern, intellectual Jane, opposite sports hero and actor
Mike Henry as the lord of the apes; and Street of Sinners, as a
teenage badgirl.
Marie Wallace - Dark Shadows Characters: Eve, Jenny Collins, Megan
