We celebrated Lillie Langtry here at Inner Toob two years ago, but there's no harm in sharing a YouTube video about her in the midst of our salute to characters from 'Edward The King'..... Here's a song about Lillie Langtry
Hi Toby, I've been busy with various projects for a few days (notably the Charlie's Angels crossover/spinoff timeline at the TVCU blog), but I'm trying to catch up now. Wanted to let you know about another, interesting, Toobworld appearance of Lillie Langtry.
In episode 3 of season 6 of Fantasy Island, Lillie appears, played by Madlyn Rhue. (Madlyn has an interesting claim to fame of being cast as a love interest for Ricardo Montalbán on two occasions, most notably as Lt. Marla McGivers to his Khan in the 1967 Trek episode "Space Seed", as well as being cast in a 1960 episode of Bonanza as his wife.) Judge Roy Bean is played by Andy Griffith. Michelle Phillips plays Andrea Barclay, who wants to be a singer but suffers from extreme stage fright. Roarke sends her back to Langtry, Texas.
Info from my wife, the world's biggest FI fan: The judge has built a place for her to play, but Lillie bypassed Langtry because it was too small. So the fantasizer went after Lillie and, at point-blank range of a pistol, robbed Lillie of her stage outfit (shooting the hat right off her head). Andrea wore the outfit onstage, singing as Lillie, and cured herself of the stage fright.
So, I think that this incident would have done nothing at all to interfere with Lillie become Embraced. Maybe made her more willing to get bitten, I suppose.
Haven't found any pix of Ms. Rhue as Lillie Langtry yet, however.
As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
Remember: "The more you watch, the more you've seen!"

Thanks, Gordon (and thank the wife for me!)
Someday I need to write more about Mr. Rourke being a Time Lord, and his relationship with the Devil....
