She was excellent as the tormented character Virgilia Hazard in the 1985 mini-series North & South.

Thanks. I’m looking for something to watch and that looks interesting. I’ll have to do the “Free 7 Day Trial” gambit on BritBox to watch it.

Color me surprised that a mini-series about the American Civil War would be televised on BritBox.

I forgot to add she was hot in Star Trek and Cheers. Later in life she was heavy but to me was still hot. “Sail on dear lady, we loved you.”

that didnt sound right so I looked it up. Wrong show. you might look to see if Netflix has it. It stars Patrick Swayze.

there are alot of things to watch on Britbox but this isnt one of them.
