A few weeks ago, I promised myself that I would try not to seek out negativity and blog about it. So far, I have failed, although I'm practically being gob-smacked, left and right, because negativity is the focal point of entertainment journalism.
My slap-happy attempt at paying tribute to Santa Barbara was a temporary reprieve. But seriously... why should it remain temporary? I can't tell you how much pleasure I got, spending hours searching for Santa Barbara clips. It was an affirmation that I didn't waste my formative years on a television show that sucked. In fact, the vast majority of the clips I found felt pretty timeless.
So why not create an excuse to visit YouTube on the weekend in order to dig up some Santa Barbara gold. This past weekend yielded quite a nugget that I nearly forgotten. This clip features Marcy Walker as Eden and Robin Wright as Kelly. Eden was recently paralyzed and 'performing the grand gesture' of protecting Cruz from taking care of her by dumping him. Kelly is there to call her on her cr@p. This clip was a fabulous reminder of the early days of the Eden/Kelly relationship; unfortunately, the writers and casting directors didn't carry over Kelly's strength and intelligence when it came time to recast her after Robin Wright left the show.
Robin Wright has been on my mind lately because she has a movie, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee coming out soon. There is some early buzz that Robin will finally get her due as an actress; personally, I hope that comes to pass. But here's a taste of her promise about 22 years ago.
