She did appear on the cover of TV Guide with Heston and Stanwyck, and John James and Emma Samms. According to the article, Miles was originally named Maxwell but they changed it at the actor's request

The character was named Max in the bible. And Francesca was called Anthea.

Antheia (Ancient Greek: Ἀνθεία) was one of the Charites, or Graces, of Greek mythology and was the goddess of flowers and flowery wreaths. She was depicted in Athenian vase painting as one of the attendants of Aphrodite.[1]

Her name Antheia is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἄνθος means "flower" or "blossom". Her symbols are gold colored items. She was known to the Romans as Anthea. Her center of worship was on the island of Crete. The name Antheia was also given to Hera and connected to the Horae,[2] under which she had a temple at Argos.[3] It was also an epithet of Aphrodite at Knossos.[4][5] She was the goddess of vegetation, gardens, blossoms, especially worshipped in spring and near lowlands and marshlands, favorable to the growth of vegetation. She was also the goddess of human love.[6]

Well, Anthea should have had more things in common with Krystle because was the goddess of flowers...They would have been good friends...About human love, no wonder they changed the name for "Francesca"...the "French Woman" (la p*tain, you know...).

Yes, Francesca means "the free one" ! :ms:
The most famous Francesca is Francesca di Rimini who got killed by her husband when he found out that she betrayed him with... his brother ! Sounds familiar, doesn't it ?:D

A nice story about Stephanie Beacham by actor Timothy Omundson (Psych, This Is Us) who guest-starred on seaQuest DSV with her:

And Stephanie Beacham, who was one of the female leads on that show, she taught me how to do off-camera acting. I’m doing my off-camera lines, and I’m kind of leaning about five feet away from the lens. She said, “No, darling, put your face right next to the lens.” I had no clue how it worked. I was so fortunate that they allowed me to sort of learn on the job, which is an opportunity you don’t get from everyone.
