George C. Scott is one of my favorite actors. He is different, and utterly believable, in every role he plays. No, that’s not right: he does not play, he actually lives them. Scrooge, Patton, Fagin in “Oliver Twist,” Rochester in “Jane Eyre,” a scientist, a composer, a con man… …

Growing up, I watched a lot of soap operas, including General Hospital. I’d watched it for years when in 1976 some young blood was introduced, and Richard Dean Anderson was one-half of the new blood, playing the role of “Jeff Webber” opposite Patsy Rahn, who played his wife, “Monica”.
Ricky …
