Marj Dusay had talent. Loved her as Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light, and loved her as Myrna Clegg on Capitol. During the golden era of daytime soaps, when soaps were at their very best.
what wonderful lines in this clip. My favorite is : "I am going to looovee grinding you into fine dust...You're good, you're real good...but you're not a natural born shark like me...
Good old Marj! I hated hear she passed but the charaters she brought to life over her long successful thespian carrer will live on forver! First became her forever fan when she playrd Mirna on Capital! Rest in Peace Marj!
This might have been the best dialogue Marj's Alex had since taking over the role of Alexandra after Beverlee. The lines were pitch perfect and were written in a way to make the most of Marj's Alex. Plus, the look was flawless; Marj's Alex looks like a former baroness. This era of Marj's Alex might have been her best in the role and closest to Beverlee's Alex (a combination of a smooth brandy with an equal dose of venom).
@@walkeww Exactly! I can tell you know your stuff because I say the same thing! A lot of the negativity Marj gets is no fault of the actress, It was the writers that didn't write her well and I'm sure if Bev would have stayed in the role, it would have been the same issue. Marj's Alex was at her best when she first took over the role and her return right after Joan Collins.
If Signy had played Annie Dutton as the screaming nuerotic that Cyntha Watros did, she might have had a chance...Signy played her as a cool and almost calm woman, which Annie (ultimately) was not...
Just discovered this gem 💎. Marj as ALEXANDRA was ultimate OTT Old Money Diva! Marj was always my favorite, here and in so many other roles. Marj Dusay was also a gracious, elegant, and loving ❤ WOMAN! 👑. 🏆
Awwwe! I loved Signey as Annie! Never understood all the hating on Signey in role other than its incredibly daunting task to replace Cynthias i felt groundbreaking work in role of Annie Dutton but love them both they my role models as actors of many female actors in daytime dramas my rolemodels! Sorry boys! Add to fact that i read soap opera digest interview sitting in dentist office at appt. One day when they briefly brought Signey back as annie maybe late 2002 or 2003 might be mistaken but Signey was talking bit about Annie in mental institution that " she one sick puppy!" Referring to her potrayal of annie and when she first got hired for part of Annie she had no idea She would be playing Annie! Love u signey! Love u cynthia! But bravo signey! Taking that on! Your bad ass! You too cynthia! All my best love to both of them! My female actor role models!
Agrees. Cynthia's version of Annie set the bar, and Signy played Annie far too "cool.". Anne Heche would have been a better replacement and could have played Annie "hotter." Signy was always much "cooler" in any of the characters she portrayed on soaps (like Y&R).
@Messylin I like how you said LOL, because Annie truly was a sociopath, as played by Watros Coleman didn't get on with the fans (including me) because she played Annie as "cool"...we were so used to "Hysterical Annie" , even in her calm moments, and Signy Coleman played her as if she was IN control...not her fault obviously...I always felt that Coleman NEVER saw what Watros had done with the role...
They really should have gotten rid of the Alexandria and Alan characters after the original actors left. These 2 lack the sophistication of the originals.

She was also Vanessa Bennet in All My Children.
RIP Marj Dusay 1/2020
What a lady! So strong, so classy, I love Alexandra.
Marj Dusay was a horrible recast, no one could replace Beverlee McKinsey
what wonderful lines in this clip.
My favorite is : "I am going to looovee grinding you into fine dust...You're good, you're real good...but you're not a natural born shark like me...
I love Marj Dusay she is my favorite
Marj was no Alexandra, Beverlee McKinsey is irreplaceable
Annie Dutton we meet again! I live for that line.
I like how Alex says, "exorcist" and the snarl she does when she says it.
this had the makings of dynasty catfight breaking out!!!!
Hated this chick as Annie, but Marj Dusay was totally Alexandra!
Good old Marj! I hated hear she passed but the charaters she brought to life over her long successful thespian carrer will live on forver! First became her forever fan when she playrd Mirna on Capital! Rest in Peace Marj!
Marj was no Alexandra that title belongs to Beverlee McKinsey

Marj's best as Alex was her return to Springfield and the infamous fight that began 'Who Shot Roger Thorpe' it was BAR NONE.

Go Alex!

Yeah, it was hard for me to accept Signy Coleman as Annie, even after the "plastic surgery" story...
GREAT LINE! right up there with Barbara Ryan's (ATWT) "I'm going to snap you like a twig". LOL

I can't help but picture Beverlee McKinsey and Cynthia Watros playing this scene....
I know right!
Beverly McKinsey would have had her for lunch
That would have been legendary.

I sorry Alan
3 great actors. I just realized everyone was a recast and I forgot.
Signey was okay as Annie but not as powerful as Cynthia.
Agrees. Cynthia's version of Annie set the bar, and Signy played Annie far too "cool.". Anne Heche would have been a better replacement and could have played Annie "hotter." Signy was always much "cooler" in any of the characters she portrayed on soaps (like Y&R).
Signy played Annie more like Sheila Carter.

I love you bnedceo
Marj and Ron horrible recasts, they couldn't hold a candle to Beverlee McKinsey and Chris Bernau
@Messylin amen!!!
They really should have gotten rid of the Alexandria and Alan characters after the original actors left. These 2 lack the sophistication of the originals.
