The Wings Of Krystle Carrington

God obviously dropped a set of wings on Krystle's head in the form of a hairstyle. Do you think this look will ever make a return?

It never was popular. It’s a half-ass Farrah Fawcett on top with an ‘80s bob on the bottom.

It's clever and dual-purpose: 100% human hair elaborately styled to look as wiglike as possible...

...then supplemented by an assortment of actual wigs.

"Spot Krystal's Wig" is a fun drinking game for DYNASTY viewing (as opposed to Joan Collins as Alexis: wig is the default setting).

Linda always had a good head of hair, but combined with her strong features and rather high hairline, the "wings" were a good idea.

Say what you will, but Joan Collins actually was the making of Dynasty. Introduced in second season character of "Alexis" was offered to Sophia Loren who turned it down. Joan Collins got it next and it revived her career (such as it was), but helped pull Dynasty up in ratings, and in good part made show a success for several seasons.

Alexis was only supposed to be for six episodes IIRC, she lasted nine years.

Dynasty Linda had feathered bangs. In the Mitchell clip she has feathered hair, as we used to say, meaning the feathering starts at the bangs and goes down alongside the face. Farrah Fawcett's hair was feathered AND layered AND set on orange juice can size rollers to get her big tousled look.

At some point Linda started her toothless smiling phase, and I had a dog (half lab, half golden retriever) who would go to the neighbor's yard to forage for dry horse turds. If you caught her with one you could always tell because she'd hold her mouth EXACTLY like Linda smiling with her mouth closed. You'd have to pry her jaw open to get the turd out of there or she'd have the worst breath!

Linda Evans was a beautiful woman aging rather gracefully, then came that romance with Yanni....

Though he reassured her otherwise at the time, Linda Evans was so sure she couldn't hold onto the much younger hot stud Yanni, she began to get work done. Well you know what happens, it's like Lay's potato chips, people can't stop at one...

In end their grand romance fizzed out. Yanni went away but Linda Evans must live with all that plastic surgery and other procedures.

Keep in mind at the time Yanni was sex on a stick. Linda Evans had to confront uncomfortable situation of not only dating a younger man, but one who was also famous.

"Everyone on Dynasty except John James was a terrible actor and had an arsenal of one head tilt/pout/opening eyes very wide/scowl, even Forsythe."

Dynasty like Falcon Crest, Dallas and rest of evening soap operas where just that, a genre not exactly known for Broadway quality acting.

Good part of cast were either from golden days of Hollywood, and or early enough television that they carried billing power. Next tier were jumped up "B" list actors from Europe (mostly UK), then rounding things out you had young or somewhat television actors brought in mostly for physical beauty above acting chops.

Jack Coleman's longest acting gig prior to Dynasty was on "Days of Our Lives"

Pamela Bellwood, Gordon Thomson, Michael Nader, Heather Locklear, Pamela Sue Martin, John James among others were all just jobbing television actors until Dynasty and or The Colbys. Some managed to land roles on daytime soaps or maybe a character on a television drama that lasted a few episodes, but that pretty much was extent of things.

Barbara Stanwyck did one season of the Colbys before bolting, calling show one of if not the worst piece of rubbish she ever worked IIRC.

by Anonymousreply 97May 25, 2022 11:23 PM

Dynasty, Colbys and rest likely went through more jars of Vaseline (for camera lenses) than some gay bathhouses.

By end of things it actually was painful to watch show through all that greasy haze when certain characters were seen.

by Anonymousreply 98May 25, 2022 11:26 PM

To be fair, Pamela Sue Martin was a bit more than just a jobbing actor.

Film wise, she'd been in one huge hit (The Poseidon Adventure), then a major supporiting role in Buster and Billie, and a starring role in The Lady in Red.

TV wise, she had her own series, The Nancy Drew Mysteries that she headlined.

And, she was third billed on Dynasty after Forsyth and Evans.

Now, she REALLY needed Dynasty at that time because it was sink or swim time but she'd already risen quite a bit above the likes of her lesser co-stars.

by Anonymousreply 99May 26, 2022 1:07 AM

My favorite line ever on Dynasty came early in the series:

It's early morning and Fallon is just coming in from a good fuck with the chauffeur over the garage. She is dressed but still dishabille, one shoulder exposed as her top has slid halfway down her arm. Brother Steven is up early, going out to practice his racing car! The pass on the sweeping staircase, Fallon going up, Steven going down.

Steven: Where have you been?

Fallon: Slumming!

I stopped watching regularly after Pammy Sue left (losing the gloriously gorgeous Al Corley was bad enough). Tell me, did they ever explain why Nu-Fallon suddenly had a distinct British accent? Was she a precursor to Madonna? Pretty much all the Dynasty recasts were awful. I guess they want to go cheaper?
