Dale/Opal says Went to Smokies every weekend

rebekkah says wow

rebekkah says that's neat

Cindy K says Oh how wonderful

Amber says Really? Well that must have been great practice

for Christy lbcdawn1 says so you have first hand knowledge Dale/Opal

says Pretty much lbcdawn1 says Did that make the filming easier on

you..or did it stir up stereotypes?

 

BarbaraD. says Dale-I know you said you had family in the

Smokies..what did you use from your childhood to bring to Christy??

 

Dale/Opal says You really don't want to know...

Cindy K says lol

Dale/Opal says I thought of my grandmother a lot BarbaraD.

says Dale-LOL Dale/Opal says And the sense I'd gotten from the mountains

ChristyB says [:)] Cindy K says that sounds really nice BarbaraD. says

Dale-Well, whatever it was, you were just amazing!!

 

Marilyn says Dale-tell us how the 2nd Christy production

differed from the first from your perspective. ChristyB says You played

the perfect Opal!! Dale/Opal says Aside from the moose antlers, ha ha

Cindy K says the moose antlers hahaha lbcdawn1 says Think of the color

that would have added Dale/Opal says It was very different but the

Canadians did a great job recreating the area ChristyB says Moose

antlers? Did I miss something? BarbaraD. says Opal was one of the

characters that truly seemed to step right out of the book!! rebekkah

says what moose antlers?

 

lbcdawn1 says the ones in Canada

rebekkah says um... ok

Cindy K says Dale tell these folks about the moose antlers

rebekkah says i'm still lost Possum Kim says Opal was very believable

ChristyB says Yes, please tell us!

 

Dale/Opal says The ones Bruce kept them from putting on

the set! Anyone seen moose in Tennessee

Dale/Opal says Marta, the forgotten child in the Sound of Music!

rebekkah says really?

 

Cindy K says Really!! personage1 says awww, how cute!

Cindy K And what did you sing as Marta?

LLL says Dale, will we see a lot of Opal in both nights of

the miniseries Dale/Opal says I'm in the 2nd one, moderately and the 3rd

one too much Cindy K says Aww not too much, never.

 

lbcdawn1 says that doesn't sound very positive. Amber

says Too much? rebekkah says was it a hassle, or did you just not like

having so much matter in the 3rd movie, dale? Dale/Opal says I'm very

excited about seeing both movies, I had some wonderful writing in both

ChristyB says What's the best known movie (besides Christy) that you

have been in?

 

Dale/Opal says I'm currently in the recently released "The

Pledge" w/ Jack Nicholson Cindy K says That must have been great to do

personage1 says cool Possum Kim says Cool, Dale! What sort of role do

you have in "The Pledge"?

 

Dale/Opal says Sean Penn directed me as a cop Cindy K says

A cop wow! sonjaSFM says What was it like working with Jack N.

Dale/Opal says Mr. Nicholson was the chief he was great Cindy K says The

Chief of Police?

 

Dale/Opal says He was retiring chief on screen, and the

real thing off screen rebekkah says dale, do you have a preference as to

what kind of work you do, as far as stage, film, independent.... or is

it just the acting that you go for?

 

Dale/Opal says I always return to the stage

rebekkah says neat

BarbaraD. says Dale-What would you say is the biggest

drawback/advantage to Stage VS Film Dale/Opal says nothing like live

theatre, but film pays better....

 

Dale/Opal says and camera work is a wonderful new

challenge

Cindy K says I bet so

rebekkah says yeah

Cindy K says Get to do scenes over and over that way

lbcdawn1 says If you could trade places with any character in

Christy..who and which scene?

 

Dale/Opal says Ruby May when she takes her first bath

rebekkah says haha

Amber says LOL!

personage1 says lol

ChristyB says Do you get any scenes with Birdseye in the

new movies?

Dale/Opal says Yes they squeezed one in for us

Dale/Opal says Mike is one of the sweetest people I have

ever known but don't tell anyone

rebekkah says haha

ChristyB says Great!

Possum Kim says We won't

Cindy K says Our lips are sealed

t933ty says I got that impression when we met him a few

weeks ago. Great actor to be able to pull that role off ChristyB says We

won't... don't want him to get a big head! LLL says How difficult was

it to lose your sister to typhoid in the miniseries?

 

Dale/Opal says Difficult emotionally to lose a sister,

even acting

rebekkah says i'll bet

Cindy K says I am sure it must have been hard ChristyB

says I bet! I'm not looking forward to those scenes!

Marilyn says Dale, how did you feel being asked to reprise

your role as Opal?

Dale/Opal says I love the character of Opal, I was

thrilled

Cindy K says Opal is so real

lbcdawn1 says I have heard that some acotrs have to play

with onions to get the tears..what tricks did you use ..if any??

 

Dale/Opal says Old childhood memories I 'm not going to

tell you about lbcdawn1 says no problem Dale..whatever it takes Cindy K

says Wow that must be tough to do ClassicDavidDude says Dale, do you

think you might make it to ChristyFest this year?

this year ClassicDavidDude says not bad :)....

Amber says We are all hoping for you to be there!

personage1 says yay! i hope you make it, i look forward to meeting you

t933ty says Have you ever been to the original mission site?

 

Dale/Opal says No not been to original site but my

grandmother was born near there

Cindy K says Was she?

Dale/Opal says She was born in Lick Skillet

LLL says Where was she born?

Cindy K says Lol

Possum Kim says I love it!

Cindy K says Lick Skillet is that a real place?

LLL says Is that on the map? What town would that be

near? Dale/Opal says Lick Skillet is now known as Bibby lbcdawn1 says

Ever have a Christy encounter in the real world?

 

Dale/Opal says Define "Christy encounter" please lbcdawn1

says well...when you are somewhere and the scene kinda flashes back to

something that could be in Christy Dale/Opal says When I'm in the

mountains of California or nature I think of the story lbcdawn1 says

like you see someone who reminds you of say Ruby mae rebekkah says

california mts. are where it's at. personage1 says Bruce mentioned a

few weeks ago about you and he and andy doing some singing - what was

that like? personage1 says i would have very much liked to have heard

it Dale/Opal says I loved singing with Andy and Bruce. They are really

good musicians Cindy K says What song did you do?

 

Dale/Opal says We sang "Get Out the Way Ole Dan Tucker"

Possum Kim says Cool song

Cindy K says Oh Great that is fun

lbcdawn1 says cute

personage1 says that's a riot! i love that song Marilyn

says The TV series showcased many wonderful Tennesse native-born actors.

Was there a real sense of pride on the set?

 

Dale/Opal says Pride, yes, egos no

Dale/Opal says Although we did take over the bars to

watch the Tennessee Vols

Cindy K says So we have heard

ClassicDavidDude says Dale, I know you enjoy the new

movies, but do you ever miss Ken Wales?

Dale/Opal says I didn't get to know Ken that well the

first go-round...

Dale/Opal says but he was always very wonderful to me

ClassicDavidDude says oh

Dale/Opal says He worked so very hard

ClassicDavidDude says i can believe that!!

lbcdawn1 says If you could make up any scene...who

would it involve..

lbcdawn1 says I'm thinking plot lines here..just general

Dale/Opal says My husband Tom was supposed to join me

tonight

lbcdawn1 says really...for moral support

Cindy K says So andy was coming too?

Dale/Opal says Because he stood me up, Opal wants to ride

bareback with the doc.

Cindy K says LOL We ALL want to do that too!! ChristyB

says I know you probably can't tell us about your favorite scene in the

new movies, but can you tell us what characters are in your favorite

scene? Dale/Opal says Most of the ensemble was in my favorite scene

rebekkah says dale, if there were one role you could play, any type of

acting, what would it be?

 

Dale/Opal says There's still a lot of Shakespeare I

want to do

rebekkah says cool

Dale/Opal says and I want to play an evil villian lbcdawn1

says ah Shakespeaere!

SouthernDav says what kind of shaxpear rebekkah says what

shakespeare have you done so far?

Possum Kim says To be or not to be

ChristyB says that is the question...

Dale/Opal says Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet

SouthernDav says sounds good rebekkah says neat!

Dale/Opal says Taming of Shrew, about 10 in all

rebekkah says wow

lbcdawn1 says Nah she needs something sinister...a

murdering character

lbcdawn1 says perhaps macbeths mom

Dale/Opal says Lisa (my typist) and I did Macbeth together

in college!!

Dale/Opal says She was brilliant, I was scary (and Lisa

says also brilliant) rebekkah says that can really help you hone your

acting skills Justpeachy! says Hi everyone. Hi Dale. I am your audiobook

fan. Dale/Opal says I'm so pleased you've listened to the book

Justpeachy! says Your reading is so beautiful. You become this 12 year

old girl.

 

Dale/Opal says I didn't know anyone but my family did

Dale/Opal says LOL

lbcdawn1 says guess i best buy that tape!

rebekkah says cool

SouthernDav says yeah, really!

rebekkah says dale, did i hear you did the sequel of the

book on tape too?

Dale/Opal says Yes I did the sequel-called Morning is a

Long Time Coming Justpeachy! says The sequel is beautiful. I have been

to the studio to see the readers act.

 

Marilyn says Dale-tell us how you reached that near

catatonic state at the death of your baby in the TV series. lbcdawn1

says BTW that was a very convincing scene ChristyB says I agree!

 

ChristyB says with Dawn.

Dale/Opal says Well, it helped that it was about 20

degrees outside but I went to a very dark alone place Dale/Opal says and

shut everything out rebekkah says did you find that the book was very

challenging, since the only thing to convey action and emotion is your

voice? Dale/Opal says The most difficult thing about doing a recorded

book is the microphone picks up your stomach growling!

 

rebekkah says haha

Cindy K says I never thougth of that

ChristyB says LOL

rebekkah says i hate recording, you can't move at all

lbcdawn1 says too much slush sound Justpeachy! says It must be very

difficult to get into the character. rebekkah says yeah! were you

constantly changing your voice patterns, or the speed you talked at,

or....?

 

Dale/Opal says The director of the book wanted me to be

more

subtle than I had imagined. It was hard to do that many

characters and still keep it simple

lbcdawn1 says Not if your a natural

rebekkah says i always struggle with voice patterns

Justpeachy! says Have you done any other recorded books?

ClassicDavidDude says Dale, a serious question! [:)] I'm sure you've

been asked this before, but are you for David or Neil?

 

Dale/Opal says I gotta say Neil

ChristyB says Yeah!!!

ClassicDavidDude says aww...why?

lbcdawn1 says YEAH!!!!!

personage1 says yay!!!

SouthernDav says what about you opal?

Cindy K says Opal knows

sonjaSFM says YES!!

lbcdawn1 says on that note have you read any of the fan

fiction on sonjas site? personage1 says fanfic is a lot of fun! very

creative ChristyB says You would enjoy it if you get the time to read

them! Dale/Opal says No more books, haven't read fan fiction on sonjas

site, need a new computer Marilyn says A laptop is what you need, Dale

Dale/Opal says Please call Tom Blomquist about my raise lbcdawn1 says oh

right..the last one was a mac...ask for a raise..so's you can buy an

upgrade!

 

Cindy K says LOL lbcdawn1 says Course might confuse you as

well.

personage1 says haha lol

lbcdawn1 says no problem!

SouthernDav says opal, I just got here, so will you tell

me if you are for david or neil?

Dale/Opal says Gotta say Neil, again! lbcdawn1 says Can't

help yourself!

Dale/Opal says She really should choose Birdseye, but what

do I know?

LLL says Thanks for taking the time to chat Dale - looking

forward to the miniseries!

ClassicDavidDude says I agree! David is the one for

Christy Justpeachy! says Neil is the only man for Christy Dale/Opal says

I think they are both good for Christy Justpeachy! says Dale, how did

you like working on City of Angels? noodle says Dale, were there times

you felt the shooting schedule for the movies was rushed?

 

Dale/Opal says Fantastic on City of Angels. I had a great

role and director Justpeachy! says You were excellent and it was good to

see you on a doctor show that I liked Dale/Opal says Shooting schedule

was under financial deadlines but I feel the directors took enough time

to get what they needed Dale/Opal says for the most part Dale/Opal says

I too liked City of A. Sorry it was cancelled. Esp. because I was

supposed to return!

 

Marilyn says Had you ever filmed anything in Canada

before? ClassicDavidDude says Dale, do the kids play a larger role in

the next movies than they did in the first, or do you not know?

Dale/Opal says I filmed The Pledge in Canada rebekkah says what did you

find hardest or most challenging about filming the new miniseries

Dale/Opal says Kids have pretty equal roles but I sure do miss the

authentic Tennessee kids Brittia1 says Sorry, I just got here. I hope

this question has not already been asked, but what can you tell us about

the last e pisode of x-files? personage1 says awwww... me too....

 

Dale/Opal says They don't mind having dirt on their faces

rebekkah says haha ClassicDavidDude says I believe that. They looked so

natural! [:)] personage1 says heck no, it was all a part of growing up,

right? Dale/Opal says The hardest thing about filming new version was

adjusting to the new faces that were cast ChristyB says What kids will

we get to see the most of? Marilyn says The kids looked too clean and

well fed on RTCG rebekkah says dirt is fun lbcdawn1 says ah...so are you

saying the canadians...are a bit more persnickety?

 

Dale/Opal says Not seeing Kelly but Lauren, who was

wonderful Dale/Opal says Again, I am the father of Scully's baby. That

is all!! Brittia1 says Opal, LOL about the kids.

 

Dale/Opal says Those bratty Spencer children rebekkah says

haha lbcdawn1 says hey those are your nieces and nephews ChristyB says

LOL Cindy K says Bratty? What did they do?

 

Dale/Opal says Canadian kids learned their accents

amazingly well ChristyB says So we'll get to see Zady??? [:)] lbcdawn1

says persnickety?

 

Dale/Opal says What didn't they do?

lbcdawn1 says haha

Cindy K says LOL

Cindy K says Sounds like real kids for sure

personage1 says all kids are bratty to some extent...

I had an 8 year old try to lock me in my room today....

Dale/Opal says Just try 15 hrs on a freezing set with 4

chilluns

hanging off of you in the rain

Dale/Opal says It wasn't really their fault...

lbcdawn1 says welcome to MY world!

rebekkah says eek

Cindy K says Is that in the storm?

Dale/Opal says Yes, the rain storm was around everytime

I was on set

Cindy K says oh no maybe the storm followed you around

Dale/Opal says LOL

Dale/Opal says The cameraman wanted flying objects

whenever

I was on set

rebekkah says that doesn't sound good

ChristyB says Sounds like scenes you won't soon forget!

rebekkah says flying objects!?! hey, any chickens? Possum Kim says Or

possums?

 

Brittia1 says Was it a storm or a tornado?

Dale/Opal says Storm, flood, raging waters, rivers rising,

children screaming ChristyB says Was the McHone house in danger of the

rising waters?

 

Dale/Opal says Every house in the cove was in danger of

the waters noodle says Your expression when Tom and the guys were

fawning over the aviator was priceless Dale/Opal says Opal and Dale both

have a jealous streak!

 

rebekkah says haha

lbcdawn1 says ahh jealousy is a spice!

Possum Kim says But we love you both anyway lbcdawn1 says

wasn't that the underlying premise of RTCG... jealousy brought out the

true feelings? rebekkah says haha kim Dale/Opal says Andy Stahl who

plays my husband played my typists husband on Matlock a few years

ago... Dale/Opal says could he please pick one of us??? Possum Kim

says Andy gets around lbcdawn1 says was it hard to go from one series to

another with the same actor playing your spouse lbcdawn1 says I mean to

seperate the two roles Dale/Opal says I love Andy, Opal will never have

another spouse!!

 

Amber says Dale, were you familiar with the story of

Christy before getting involed with the CBS series? Or Catherine's

other works for that matter.

 

Dale/Opal says I have to admit I was not familiar with

Christy before the project came up, other than the title personage1 says

is the acting world a small world? meaning, do you run into

actors/actresses that you've acted with often?

 

Dale/Opal says I run into people I have worked with all

the time Marilyn says Dale-are you married in real life and do you have

children?

 

Dale/Opal says I'm unofficially married, live w/ my

boyfriend for 7 years SouthernDav says opal, has the movie date been

changed from the 13th to the 12th?

 

Dale/Opal says will most likely marry if we decide to have

kids lbcdawn1 says Why wait! marriage is so much better!

Justpeachy! says Do you ever see Emily Schulman, who

played

Ruby Mae?

noodle says Dale, are you a member of SAG-are you

concerned about a strike?

lbcdawn1 says Oh i know...thanks for bringing up Emily ...is your hair

real or extensions?

 

Dale/Opal says All that hair is my own mess Justpeachy!

says What is Emily doing these days? She is such a wonderful actor.

 

ChristyB says I think that I read that Dr. Quinn movies

was moved to the 12th, not Christy.

Dale/Opal says I'll call Blumquist tomorrow re: the new

start date!

Cindy K says That is correct Christy is the 13th & 14th

lbcdawn1 says Its a mothers day gift from pax Cindy K says They have not

moved the dates on the miniseries rebekkah says dale, when were you

first interested in acting? ChristyB says And a wonderful MOther's Day

gift it is!!!!! lbcdawn1 says sorry that was a question..or joke for a

while on the list Dale/Opal says Emily is working as an agent and loves

it.

 

She may go back to acting

Amber says I hope she does! I would love to see more of

her!

personage1 says me too

Dale/Opal says I got involved in acting when I was little

girl

acting school

rebekkah says college....

Brittia1 says What year did you graduate from UT?

Dale/Opal says I didn't graduate, I left in 1985

Marilyn says Dale-how do you deal with the rejection

actors face in auditioning for parts?

Dale/Opal says I'm not sure how I deal with rejection

Dale/Opal says I just learned to accept it and do a primal

 

scream when I leave

rebekkah says haha

Brittia1 says LOL

Amber says chocolate works too

Dale/Opal says I had my share of Entemanns chocolate cake

when I was starting out rejected every day in NYC Justpeachy! says But

the feeling when you are successful must be great!

 

SouthernDav says dale, how'd you come to get the part in

the movies?

Dale/Opal says I was living in NY and a friend of mine was

originally up for the role of David.

Dale/Opal says He suggested I check into it Cindy K says

Really? Who was your friend? rebekkah says good suggestion, Dale

personage1 says and he didn't get the part, huh? personage1 says but

you did! sonjaSFM says yes who is the friend?

 

Dale/Opal says No he didn't but he's filming the male

lead opposite Ashley Judd in a new movie

personage1 says ooooo

Amber says wow, impressive

Cindy K says Well that worked out well for him Justpeachy!

Dale/Opal says Don't tell me anything

ChristyB says I wanted to cry tonight...

Dale/Opal says I have to be home at 8

SouthernDav says why?

Cindy K says Oh you don't want to miss it?

ChristyB says It's a great episode tonight!

rebekkah says dale, that sounds so funny hearing someone

refer to the same time zone

Cindy K says Yes Dale is in PST

Amber says I was sad for the nice old Southern Guy Cindy K

says Don't tell her!!

rebekkah says shhh! don't spoil anything

Amber says oh no, sorry!

Dale/Opal says How does the new Christy compare to the

old one for you guys

rebekkah says it was an easy transition.

ChristyB says I can't wait to see more of it!

Cindy K says I love Lauren she is wonderful as you say

Brittia1 says I can't get used to the set.

Marilyn says I couln't make Canada look like TN personage1

says i need more to get cozy with it! Dale/Opal says Neither could we

rebekkah says she did very well... her skirt annoyed me, but if that's

the worst...

 

Amber says It was kind of hard for me to get used to at

first...it's so much better now though!

ChristyB says It's a little werid seeing new character,

set, etc after over 20 hours of the series though. Dale/Opal says

Remember it was much lower budget than CBS ChristyB says Her skirt?

 

Justpeachy! says Lauren has incredible chemistry with

SFM, much better than Kellie had

rebekkah says lol

Marilyn says I would love to see more facial expressions

and change in voice in Lauren's acting.

Justpeachy! says Kellie looked like SFM's daughter

Dale/Opal says It's hard not to have chemistry with that

Scottish kilt

Amber says LOL!

Cindy K says Big LOL

noodle says Do you think the movies suffered from having a

lower budget than the series rebekkah says yes, christy... i hated how

she kept holding her skirt! it was driving me crazy! i liked her acting,

and then i would look at the skirt again...

 

Dale/Opal says Yes I agree Kelly looked a bit too young

Amber says ha ha Rebekkah!

Possum Kim says Hah

Cindy K says What?

Justpeachy! says But Kellie was good in scenes with the

children ChristyB says Interesting, rebekkah... I didn't notice that.

 

Dale/Opal says A lower budget means lower quality and less

 

attention to detail

Dale/Opal says Somewhat

SouthernDav says oh, yeah. i wish she'd come back

Justpeachy! says I'm glad Kellie didn't come back sonjaSFM says Well,

regardless of the little things, I was so happy to see Christy on TV

again, I can over look somethings.

 

This part of the transcript is missing but Dale told us to

look out carefully for a scene where blood is all over her hand which

was an accident and not part of the script. ChristyB says Blood?

 

Amber says ha ha...we'll be on the lookout!

Cindy K says The knife incident? personage1 says ooo ooo

ooo a scavenger hunt1 rebekkah says oh, that's right dale personage1
