When Robin Strasser was playing the nasty Rachel on AW, her husband, Larry Luckinbill, always escorted her when she left the NBC studio. Since she was pregnant at the time, they feared somebody might punch or kick her and endanger their unborn child. They also kept their home address and phone number a secret.
Fred J. Scollay, as Charlie Hobson on AW, was supposed to say in one scene, "I'm ready for the wedding tomorrow." But he made what could have been a Freudian slip: "I'm ready for the funeral tomorrow.":confused: Then he ad libbed madly to cover up the fluff, and his ad libs were so cute that the director let them stay in.
Jered Holmes, when portraying Brian Blake on AW, once got confused with the names in his dialogue. "Rachel is the father of Steven's child... er... I mean Steve is the father of Rachel's child."
Roberta Maxwell, a fine actress, had trouble playing lawyer Barbara Weaver on AW. In one scene with Mac Cory and Zach, she had to describe events and began with, "I've talked to Zeke, ... no, Zack,... no, I mean Mac..."
Even columnist Cleveland Amory, writing in TV Guide, caught Constance Ford (Ada on AW), in a fluff. He reported that Ada in one scene had said, "I don't know how Louise feels about it, Iris... I mean, how Iris feels about it, Louise."
On AW, Constance Ford (Ada), Robin Strasser (Rachel), Sam Groom (Russ), and Val Dufour (Walter) were involved in a dramatic scene. Miss Ford, frustrated because she felt she had goofed up her lines, exited the scene and boomed out the s word!:mad: The other three actors, finishing the scene, pretended they did not hear her. Fortunately, the show was being taped, and the bad word was cut out later.
Jacqueline Courtney always worries about having the right bra when she's in costume. She remembers the time as Alice on AW she had a passionate scene with Steve (then played by George Reinholt). Wearing a bra that hooked in front, she had to lean back against the sofa as Steve kissed her madly. She felt a ping, and knew that the bra had become unhooked. "Yes, yes, Steve, I love you!" she kept muttering, not daring to glance down her bosom. Fortunately, the camera wasn't showing her bosom.
Deborah Hobart, Amy on AW, didn't mind when the director decided that her poolside scene should end with her diving into the pool. But when she hit the water, she was shocked, it was ice cold. Later, she found out that the crew had not been notified to heat up the normally frigid water.
Laurence Lau (Jamie on AW) had a hard time getting started as an actor, so he sold newspapers on Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood, while throwing out one-line gags at customers. One customer asked, "Are you an actor?" and Lau asked, "Why? Are you an agent?" The man was indeed an agent, and later that day he lined up Lau's first professional acting job.
One time, the show went live, as per schedule(3:00 Eastern), and then somebody discovered that the man who presses the button to start the taping, had forgotten to press the button.:o The cast was ordered to do the show again for a showing on the Western states live(1:00 Pacific). Ordinarily, the taped version went out to the Western states an hour after the rest of the country.:rolleyes:
