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.
