Constance Craving

The 61-year-old resurfaced at some event in L.A. last week, looking unburdened.

Constance Cashin

In 1987, Constance's character died of a brain tumor on the show's 200th episode.

McCashin would not allow footage of her character to be used in two reunion specials, which forced producers to blur her image.

She looks great. Wondering why she wouldn't allow footage of her character in the reunion eppy though, that's kinda weird.

She does look great! And it's great to see her.

I believe that the reason she gave for not wanting her footage & clips used was that by that time, she had quit acting altogether and became a psychologist or some type of mental therapist. She didn't want her patients seeing her in that role and confusing her with her new real life job or something like that. At least I think that's what I read at the time.

I know I was disappointed that she & Laura her tv alter-ego weren't in the reunion shows.

I loved Laura and cried so much when she died, leaving behind videos for her baby daughter and husband Greg Sumner played by the equally great William Devane. It was so sad and I hated it when both she and "Laura" left the show because it was a huge blow to the show to lose them both.

I loved Knots and still miss it.

Let's just hope that her patients do not see this photo and confuse their therapist with a 2-dimensional rendering.

Wow Kathy, you got a great memory, I loved to watch Knots back in the day but I forgot all about this character. Actually I forgot most of the whole show. They should do re-runs or somthing. Love William Devane.

Indeed, I loved Knots Landing, was a big fan, wasn't it on on Thursday night? For some reason, that's the night I keep thinking it was on. I loved all those women, even the evil ones, LOL. I too cried my eyes out when she died. Of course Gary and Valene were my favorite couple but I loved the neighbors too, played by Kevin Dobson and oh what's her name, I can see her face as clear as day....Karen.....Michelle.....that's her real name Michelle Phillips was it? Than the other Michelle came along....oh hell wait, I gotta just go google the cast now. Hold one. LOL Damnit I thought I had it backwards, I knew Karen was the black haired neighbor......Michelle Lee and Michelle Phillips was the Mamma Pappa singer that came into the show on down the line. I loved Ciji, Lisa Hartman (Mrs. Clint Black these days). And for gosh sakes who remembered Halle Berry being in the show, not me or even Alec Baldwin, not me again. And of course Nicollette Sheridan, I really think that's her most famous tv part, until Desparate Housewives. As for reruns of it....I'm suprised the Soap TV Network doesn't run it. Ah memories....
