[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 79017, member: 57984"] So Stanwyck did silent porn. Well, she was a dancer/showgirl, and that's what they often did. Joan Crawford was apparently blackmailed all her life with 1920s stag films she done in her youth; no wonder she was mad all the time. So once again Wyman proves she really was Angela Channing. Interesting version of that. At one point, Bob blamed his firing on Earl Hamner's reluctance to take on the studio politics at Lorimar, and made it sound like one executive was just out to get him for some reasons, a "gay scandal" being used as a public cover story for the firing. Whatever the details, the show effectively ended when McCullough was shown the door. IMHO. Why don't these top executives understand that not just anybody can produce a show like this? When you read these accounts of the behind-the-scenes crap that goes on, it really is amazing that anything ever gets done -- especially anything good -- and no surprise when the project collapses so quickly (even if it technically stays on the air, listless and pointless and waiting for cancellation).
