As Amy Jennings, Denise Nickerson became the on- and offscreen playmate of fellow child actor and "Dark Shadows" co-star David Henesy. Also, she was beautiful -- Hitchcock would have loved her! Watching it now I realize Grayson Hall was the whole fucking show. [quote] I really wish they wouldn't have dropped Victoria's story, because it was somewhat compelling. The memory of Jonathan Frid and Dark Shadows continues to live on, with a new version of the show in development and the appeal of the original continuing to touch people who hand it down from generation to generation. That is exactly the word that describes the change that took place, offers Mark Dawidziak, author of, among others, Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Dracula and The Shawshank Redemption Revealed: How One Story Keeps Hope Alive. What was really bad was the lie.. The 'Crown' Jewels' of the show is when Victoria Winters is whisked back to the year 1795 by way of a seance and we find out how Barnabas Collins became a vampire. Frid collaborated with the show's writers to make Barnabas a tragic, romantic figure. He seems kind of full himself and acts bored out of his mind when anyone else is speaking.
