I was in the 5th grade at Lighthouse Elementary School when they were filming "The Devil's Daughter" across the street in a beautiful old mansion in Pacific Grove, CA, and also at a cemetery across the street from where I lived. There was a small part of a schoolgirl that I almost got, except they decided to go with a 3rd grader because she was wearing a red sweater which would show up better on screen! I remember going across the street every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of Jonathan Frid whom I loved on "Dark Shadows." I was lucky enough to meet both Jonathan Frid and Shelley Winters, and both were so kind and friendly to a little girl who had dreams of one day being a great actress!! Then when I saw the movie, I was delightedly scared and enjoyed seeing the sites of the town where I lived.

The Inheritance
(1997 TV Movie)
Delightful
26 March 2005
Such a delightful sentimental wholesome period piece, with a really good cast. Cari Shayne does an excellent job with Louisa May Alcott's character, Edith Adelon, bringing to life the sweet, spirited, caring orphan girl taken in by the Hamilton family who grows up as a companion to their daughter Amy. Tom Conti as Henry Hamilton lends a caring fatherly figure to the movie, and Meredith Baxter as Beatrice Hamilton as always is wonderfully believable. Thomas Gibson as family friend James Percy is a gentleman to fall in love with, just as I did from watching him in the TV series "Dharma and Greg". I've seen "The Inheritance" twice now, and would watch it again and again. It's a classic in my book.
