Urban action and fatal attraction give rise to a groove from beyond the grave in this funkadelic, fangadelic blaxploitation double-bill from Eureka Entertainment, which sees the eternally cool William Marshall put a fresh spin on the age-old legend of the vampire, condemned to wander the earth with an insatiable lust for blood as Blacula.
Produced at the height of the blaxploitation era, the Blacula movies are the perfect blend of genre and social film making, the types of which hadn’t been seen before… or since!
Blacula (1972)
Stars: William Marshall, Vonetta McGee, Denise Nicholas, Thalmus Rasulala, Gordon Pinsent, Charles Macaulay, Emily Yancy, Ted Harris, Rick Metzler | Written by Joan Torres, Raymond Koenig | Directed by William Crain
In 1780, African Prince Mamuwalde (Marshall) pays a visit to Count Dracula in Transylvania, seeking his support in ending the slave trade. Instead, the evil count curses his noble guest and transforms him into a vampire!

The mother of Tina and Todd (or is that both Todds?), Irene Manning, is alive and well--and back in Llanview!
Barbara Rhoades (Generations; Soap; Busting Loose) has now debuted in the mysterious, pivotal role of the not-at-all-dead mum, and We Love Soaps is proud to welcome the talented film veteran (Serial; The Goodbye Girl) and Broadway baby ("Funny Girl"; "Love, Loss, and What I Wore") back to daytime.
We recently featured Barbara in episode 2.34 of We Love Soaps TV
alongside Kim Zimmer (Guiding Light; One Life To Live) and Orfeh ("Legally Blonde: The Musical"; Across the Universe). She talks about working with the great Barbara Streisand and even dishes on being fired from Generations. Let's just say she may have managed some parting gifts!

We also reviewed her performance in Delia and Nora Ephron's "Love, Loss, and What I Wore.

Emmy-winning actress Kim Zimmer is making a splash in the theater world with her poignant role in the new staging of Nora and Delia Ephron's play "Love, Loss, And What I Wore." Enjoy our exclusive new interview with the outspoken and fascinating talent as she discusses this new project, as well as life on One Life To Live, and her upcoming book. Plus, exactly whom was she channeling in her role as a pushy executive producer in Steamboat? Zimmer answers below!
We Love Soaps TV: You just started appearing in "Love, Loss, And What I Wore." How did it go?
Kim Zimmer: Personally it did not go well for me [laughs]. Every time my husband AC Weary is in the audience I get a little nervous. I so love his criticism. I could feel him and I could hear him laughing at Orfeh through the whole thing, but I...

Scientists tell us that memories stored in the brain can be triggered by certain smells, sounds, and sights. But what about the memories triggered by a certain outfit, accessory, or bag you once used. Can our clothing and apparels be just as important in marking time, relationships, and life changes? According to Delia and Nora Ephron's play Love, Loss and What I Wore you bet your sweet bra they can!
This fun and touching play, now featuring the irrepressible Kim Zimmer (Oltl, Steamboat), examines how various characters recount significant events in their life via outfits in their closet. Topics such as relationships with mothers, sisters, husbands, weight gain, aging, illness, financial struggles, mothering, and even Madonna, are all touched upon through the lens of clothes worn at certain landmarks. There are moments of levity (frequently provided by Zimmer, Tony nominated Orfeh, and 30 Rock’s Katrina Bowden), moments of nostalgia and sentimentality,...
