Great performance (even if she doesn't attempt an Aussie accent and has to work with zombie Richard Chamberlain).

I thought RC was good, too - not a "zombie"

I thought Stanwyck’s character was an American who married a wealthy Aussie?

Stanwyck was handed her Emmy by former "lover" Robert Wagner.

Ann-Margret should have won that year for Who Will Love My Children. Even Stanwyck said so during her acceptance speech. A class act.

Didn't Father Fricassee [sp] reply that he knew what it was like to be a man but he didn't want to waste it on an old broad whose breath smelled like a Pittsburgh steel mill.

If by "great," you mean the amount of scenery Stanwyck chewed her way through, sure.

She was a force in Thorn Birds. She had a physical presence and that voice!

She should've dropped dead when she got to the top of the stairs.

R2: Stanwyck’s character was supposed to have been an Irish immigrant to Australia who married well, then became a very wealthy landowner when her husband died.

Stanwyck came from old Hollywood where actors usually didn't put on an accent, they just played everything in the accent they had. I mean, Cary Grant was just usually passed off as American no explanation given. The whole miniseries basically eschewed the Australian accent, anyway, the only actual Aussie cast was Bryan Brown, and no one else tried the accent. If they made it today, they'd just hire a bunch of Australians, since there are tons of them in Hollywood now, and they'd shoot in Australia, and not California, especially since it's so much cheaper. Hugh Jackman would probably be Ralph.

I thought this the most sophisticated this I'd heard as a gayling, and packed this away for later. I believe I used this line, at long last, in college on a confused (read: bisexual) acting major.

It took me awhile to realize this story was about lust for power/ambition and not a love story!

You won't get me to say anything bad against Stanwyck. I love her to pieces! She was just too marvelous for words.
