I remember my mother being a fan of the show when it came out and throughout it’s syndicated reruns, but being like five years old and seeing what I called, “The blonde lady” change from the creepy-colored eyes to the 2nd less menacing, softer haired blonde lady was something I did point out to my mother. She complimented me for being so observant and then told me she had no idea why the role had been recast. I never knew why until JUST NOW. Thank you for this!
