Have been a fan of both of yours since I grew up with you on Lost in Space and The Birds. So wonderful to hear the two of you chatting. And what a gift for Angela to get some insights from Veronica about the early days. A good reminder for all of us to chat with our older siblings. One gentle clarification and one question. Veronica stated that The Children’s Hour was written by Daphne du Maurier. I think she is thinking of The Birds. The Children’s Hour was written by Lillian Hellman. My question is that Veronica mentions that she read for the part of Mary. But she ended up playing the part of Rosalie. Is there any story to that? I mean, it does seem to lean toward the kind of ”high emotion” parts she was often given. Thank you for the podcast and for the work you have both given us over the years.
