Barry Nelson

**Barry Nelson** was an American actor, possibly best known as the first actor to portray Ian Fleming's secret agent James Bond in the 1954 movie, "Casino Royale."

Born Haakon Robert Nielsen on April 16, 1917 in San Francisco, California, Nelson was the son of Norwegian immigrants, Trygve and Betsy Nielsen. He began acting in school at the age of fifteen and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1941. Because of his theatrical efforts in school, he was almost immediately signed to a motion picture contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, making his screen debut in "Shadow of the Thin Man" in 1941 with William Powell, Myrna Loy and Donna Reed. He followed with roles in "Johnny Eager" and "A Yank on the Burma Road" in 1942.

During his service in the United States Army in World War II, Nelson debuted on the Broadway stage in Moss Hart's play "Winged Victory" in 1943, returning to Broadway in Hart's "Light Up the Sky" in 1948, which was a first-rate success, "The Moon is Blue" with Barbara Bel Geddes. Starting in 1952, he starred in the TV series "The Hunter" and the movies "Cactus Flower," "The Fig Leaves Are Falling" before appearing the Broadway play, "The Rat Race." After it closed, he starred in the films "The Man with My Face" and "Casino Royale," a 1954 adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel for the television anthology series "Climax!" which preceded Sean Connery's interpretation of James Bond in "Dr. No" by eight years. The role was reportedly considered a pilot for a possible James Bond television series, though it is not known if Nelson intended to continue playing the character. Horror film star Peter Lorre played the primary villain, a fact which encouraged Nelson to take the role.

Nelson continued making appearances on television. He starred in the series "Hudson's Bay" and made appearances on "The Dupont Show," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Ben Casey," "Dr. Kildare," "What's My Life" as a guest panelist and an iconic episode of "The Twilight Zone."

While traveling in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with his wife, he passed away from unknown causes on April 7, 2007, nine days before his 90th birthday. He was survived by his two wives, actress Teresa Celli, who he had been married to in the Fifties, and Nansilee Nelson. He didn't have any children.

Kristy Swanson

**Kristen Noel Swanson** is an American actress, model and spokesperson, best known for the films "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Flowers In The Attic" and "Dude, Where's My Car."

Born December 19, 1969 with German and Swedish ancestry, Swanson was raised in Mission Viejo, California, she has one older brother named Robert. A child actress, she started acting at the age of nine in television commercials. Her first job was in a doll house commercial, which was followed with several more commercial appearances.

Swanson began her acting career at The Actors Workshop with R.J. Adams and promptly moved into TV advertising roles and several appearances in TV series such as "Cagney and Lacey" and the 1980s "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." In 1986, she was in "Pretty In Pink" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Her first starring role was in Wes Craven's "Deadly Friend" followed by "Flowers In The Attic," based on the adaptation of V. C. Andrews' best-selling novel, and "Mannequin 2," a sequel to the Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy cult hit.

Through the 90s, Swanson made several television appearances, including multiple appearances on "Knots Landing," "Nightingales," her first starring role in a TV series, and "B.L. Stryker," which also starred Burt Reynolds. However, she had better success in film. In 1992, she was catapulted into international stardom in the 1992 movie, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which became a cult hit and made her a movie sex symbol. Considered one of the most beautiful actresses in the world, she followed "Buffy" with the movies "Hot Shots!," "The Program," "The Chase" and "Higher Learning," considered her most critically acclaimed role. She also appeared in the film adaptation of the comic-book "The Phantom" and "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag," both of which failed at the box office.

Swanson continued to make several appearances on television in "Early Edition," "Just Shoot Me!," "Red Water," "CSI: Miami," "Hell's Kitchen" and "One Tree Hill." She also had appearances in the film "Big Daddy" with Adam Sandler and the cult hit, "Dude, Where's My Car?," alongside Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott and Jennifer Garner.

In 2007, Swanson appeared in "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," playing a fictionalized variation of the late model Anna Nicole Smith. She also became a spokesperson of the Medifast diet, but as an 90s icon, movie roles became far and few between. After appearing on "Skating with Celebrities," she started dating her partner Lloyd Eisler and eventually gave birth to a son named Magnus Hart Swanson Eisler on February 16, 2007. Swanson and Eisler married on February 7, 2009 in San Luis Obispo, California.

Possibly distracted by her life as a mother, Swanson didn't make her next theatrical film until "What If..." with Kevin Sorbo and Debby Ryan in 2010 and later in the 2011 Hallmark Christmas movie "A Christmas Wish." In 2018, she was cast in the lead role in the Hallmark Channel original movie, "Winter's Dream." Her later roles include "Pawparazzi," "Killer Under The Bed," "A Parent's Worst Nightmare," and "Jessica Frost" along with a recurring role in the TV series "SEAL Team" with David Boreanaz.
Ardmore Sanitarium

**Ardmore Sanitarium** is a privately-owned mental hospital located in Mill City, New York in Essex County. Located on Burkitt's Wood Drive, the facility holds over fifty patients with cases running from acute depression, schizophrenia and disassociation syndrome. It has a staff of twelve doctors, twenty nurses and twenty orderly, not including the guards, gardeners, cleaning and managerial cast.

Founded in 1873, the hospital is located in the former Sanderson Mansion, which was abandoned in 1865. The structure started out as a poor farm for Civil War widows, orphans, homeless people and transients, gradually becoming a tuberculosis hospital in the Early 1900s. After the patients were moved to the Essex County Hospital in Crown Point, the location was being used to hold only those unable to exist in regular society.

Through much of the Sixties and Seventies, the chief attending physician here was Dr. Frederick Cushing, who named as his successor, Dr. Fletcher Condon. When Condon retired in 1979, he was replaced by Dr. Julius Hoffman. Other staff here included Dr. Felix Osmond, Dr. Darla Switzer and Dr. Arnold Taber. Hoffman was the main psychiatrist for Ty Hedison, the son of Monica Hedison and step-son of Carter Hedison. Disinterested in the boy, Carter Hedison made attempts to have Hoffman keep Ty unbalanced that he would be uninterested in his inheritance from his mother, but mostly to keep him from looking into the circumstances of his mother's death. When Hoffman refused to be part of such chicanery, Hedison made the same deal with Dr. Osmond, paying him regularly to sabotage Ty's therapy. This activity lasted until 1992 when Osmond was discharged for malfeasance of hospital funds.

Hoffman passed away in 2000, replaced by Dr. Wendy Radcliffe. During Radcliffe's term, she was visited by Samantha Strickland and Russell Coleman seeking to do a paranormal examination in the sanitarium basement to look for the ghosts of the Sanderson Family said to haunt the grounds.
Brooke Ashley

**Brooke Ashley** is an American screen actress whose career includes minor roles in the Late 80s and Early 90s. Her most significant role to date maybe as a voice of the daughter in "The Family Dog," the lone animated episode of the 1987 TV series "Amazing Stories."

Not much is known about her career. Her full name in the Screen Actors Guild is Brooke Ashley Gunn. Born in 1966, she has made commercials for Dannon, HBO, LA Gear and Vitalon Sports Drink. Her film work includes the 1990s movies "Delirious" with John Candy, "Sunchaser" with Woody Harrelson and Zoe Trilling and an uncredited role in "Encino Man" with Brendan Fraser. (Curiously, "Delirious" has been long missing from her IMDB page despite her name being included in the film's credits. Actress Rebecca Staab has also been erroneously identified in the role.) She has also performed "Barefoot In The Park" and "Antigone" on stage.

The "Rotten Tomatoes" website credits her as "Actress #2" in the 2000 Jerry Stiller movie, "The Independent." Her current activities are unknown.

It employs a housekeeping staff of seven, including Edward Ashworth, Marie and the chauffeur. Monica Hedison and Naomi Hedison have also lived here; Rachel once even gave Jack Gable the guest room at a time she was broken up with Dr. Paul Kirkwood.

Built in a Tudor/Gothic Revival style in 1928 by Lincoln Hedison, the structure boasts twelve bedrooms, six bathrooms, a grand dining room, a study and 16,599 square feet of living space, sitting on over five acres of land resting against Wyckoff Canyon. The grounds include a swimming pool, pool house, tennis court and a six-car garage hidden behind an eight-foot wall, trees and foliage. A fire in 1967 claimed parts of the house, such as the study, two bedrooms and parts of the dining room, but it was rebuilt by architect Arthur Birckhead, the architect behind Ashford Falls High School. During the construction, the Hedisons stayed at the Satterwhite Hotel.

Eagles Club

The **Eagles Club** is a local elite businessmen club located in Ashford Falls. Located on 1311 Gwynne Road, the club was created through the efforts of Lincoln Hedison in 1938, basing it in the mansion of the old Skull and Bones Society from the 1880s. Hedison wanted the club to be a gathering place for businessmen to gather in a societal manner to discuss business matters and form ideas that helped the local economy. It is not know if it was affiliated with the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

After the Gwynne Road structure became derelict, the club moved into the Lubbock House until 1946, when the members donated the structure to the city as the new courthouse. They moved to a mansion on Kirkeby Road southwest of town where they currently preside. The upstairs were used as guest rooms for important visitors.

Since Carter Hedison took over his father's membership, the club has more or less become a place to make business connections and establish political contacts, particularly with Carl Griggs, the town mayor. In fact, Carter and Carl are reputed to have had several secret meetings here. Among members, Gage Winchester was offered membership but turned it down. Douglas Greer was also a member for a while but let his membership lapse.

Steven Roarke

*"I keep telling you. The ladies can't keep their hands off me." - Steven Roarke*

**Steven Roarke** is an Ashford Falls police officer best known for his strong social life. Although not a native, he has lived in the area of Ashford Falls for most of his life.
Born Steven Stephenson in Wynantshill, New York in 1965, he lost his father, Michael Stephenson, an airplane pilot, when he was very young. His mother, Constance Hackett, was later romanced by Benjamin Roarke, a civil servant, who was white. Steven never knew his biological father's identity until years later. Ben ended up adopting Steven as his son, and took him and his mother to Albany when he took a job in the city government.
As an adult, Stephen joined the police academy and got a role in the police force in Schenectady, New York, but three years later, he was was fired over incidents that have never been revealed. His adopted father got him a job in animal control, but Steven continued to try and get jobs back in police work.
Roarke was eventually hired in Ashford Falls by Sheriff David Carmichael, who decided to give him another chance. Alongside Samantha Strickland and Ted Beauchamp, he worked hard to instill Truman's faith in him, and later became friends with David Truman, when he appeared in Ashford Falls, treating him like a younger brother and giving him a history of the town from the view of a native. He was present during the murder investigation of Monica Hedison and Philip Martin, Bud Mason's first appearance in town and the Winter of 1988, being one of the few people to survive the chronic tuberculosis epidemic.
Roarke was well known for his heavy socialization in town, traveling to Albany on vacations and coming back with potential girlfriends, like Christina Danielle, who "latched" on to him and scared off other girls Steven dated with false rumors of his reputation. However, Roarke soon vanished from town. He was no longer an active officer when the local Ashford Falls police attended the Second Bicentennial Founders Day and Len Snedeker outed himself as a cross-dresser, Rachel Hedison's fight with Helen Caldwell at the First Congregational Church, Bud Mason's sexual offenses or Paul Kirkwood's accident at Ashford Falls Scenic Lookout.
In 1995, it was finally revealed that Roarke had married Christina and had left his career to work in her father's swimming pool business. Unfortunately, despite the better salary, he missed being a police officer and asked Carmichael to give him his job back in time to do security for Carl Griggs run for mayor. The only drawback was that due to his departure that Samantha would make Deputy Sheriff ahead of him instead of before him. Steven confessed he didn't mind since he didn't want that kind of responsibility.

The **Ashford Falls Public Library** is a pulic institution in Ashford Falls, New York. Run by the Ashford Falls Fine Arts Ladies League, the library is one of several public buildings where the community meets for purposes of local and social purposes, along with the Ashford Falls High School and the Ashford Falls Courthouse.

Formerly the Ashford Falls Grammar School, the structure is two floors with several offices and rooms. The non-fiction and children's books are on the first floor, and the second floor hold the non-fiction and historical archives. The basement is a maze of tunnels and underground corridors linking the Ashford Falls Movie Theater in the rear and the nearby Ashford Falls Presbyterian Church and Ashford Arms Hotel. These tunnels are left over from the civil defense shelters of the 30s and 40s, but were closed off in the Early 60s after it was noticed that the local youth were using the tunnels to sneak into the movie house next door. The structure recieved Internet Access in 1989 with help from Quentin Baldwin, a local news journalist.

Previously located in the basement of the old courthouse, the library was founded in the Early 50s by Lincoln Hedison, who suggested it be moved into the former grammar school. His wife, Grace, set up the local fine Arts League to run it and organize events to fund special events, such as installing internet in 1989 and public holidays. Jason Pryde once commented that half the women in town had once worked for the library or been conned into running local events through the Ladies League, citing his mother's impatience with Melanie Fairwood, the leader of the Fine Arts League. Candace Waverly and Chloe Waverly have also managed the library, assisted by Carolyn Woods, Jason's mother and others. Much of the library staff is filled by local housewives looking for work to fill their time, but there seems to be a high-turnover in staff members.
Felissa Rose

**Felissa Rose** is an American actress and stage producer, possibly best known as Angela Baker in the original "Sleepaway Camp" movie.

Born Felissa Rose Esposito in Greenwich Village in New York City, Rose grew up in Woodbury, New York and studied acting at New York University. She made her film debut as Angela Baker in Robert Hiltzik's film, "Sleepaway Camp," which recieved a limited regional release on November 18, 1983. Although the film was not a commercial success, it garnered a huge cult following and two sequels with actress Pamela Springsteen replacing Felissa in the series.

After appearing in Sleepaway Camp, Rose made some more sporadic appearances in a few television shows, such as "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" and "Prey," but her acting career never really took off and she mostly did several short films along with an appearance in the 1993 film, "The Night We Never Met." However, when the popularity of "Sleepaway Camp" took off, she was contacted in 1993 by Jeff Hayes, the creator of "The Official Sleepaway Camp Website," and they collaborated together on a sequel to the movie that later became "Return To Sleepaway Camp," a straight-to-DVD film where Rose once again reprised her character.

Now an established horror movie icon, Rose started acting again, and appeared in the movies "Zombiegeddon," "Nikos," "Sludge," "Horror" and "Satan's Playground" through the early 2000s. In addition, she co-hosted the 2005 Village Halloween Parade in New York City with fellow scream queens Debbie Rochon and Raine Brown. After "Return to Sleepaway Camp" was released, she starred in "Hotdog Casserole" and in the segment "Dinner Guest" in the anthology horror film, "The Perfect House." Her other roles included parts in the Francis Xavier thriller "Poe," and the horror films "Family Possessions" and "Death House." She also had a recurring voice credit on "The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs."

Today, Rose lives in California with her husband, former CKY singer/guitarist Deron Miller. Married since 2006, they have three children.
Ashford Falls Town Square

**Ashford Falls Town Square** is the center landmark of Ashford Falls, New York. It is a small block of open land with a central gazebo and flagpole surrounded by sidewalks and bushes used as a gathering place for special holiday and social functions. It is bordered by Main Street to the north, Winchester Road/Highway 12 to the east (at least until the Forties), Griffith Road to the south and Alley Road to the west. The businesses and locations off the square include the Hedison Realty Company, the Ashford Falls Post Office, the Ashford Falls Bank, the Ashford Falls Community General Hospital, Ashford Falls Pharmacy, Corrine's Beauty Shop, Ludlow's Candy Shop, Cunningham Hardware, the New York Delicatessen, Pierce Veterinary and the two buildings that exist as Donahue Boarding House separated from the First Congregational Church in the 70s. As many of these buildings were constructed before the Civil War, Mayor Lionel Creekmore passed a landmark bill to protect them from being altered from their original appearances or layouts. However, this revelation does not explain why the New York Delicatessen managed to violate the bill with its modern retro appearance.

It is also known that at one time Highway 12 was the eastern boundary of the square, passing between First Congregational Church and the Donahue Boarding House, but during Creekmore's time in office, he had Highway 12 widened behind the boarding houses and moved from Donahue Road to Winchester Road to deter traffic from passing through the square. As a result, the square was closed off from Highway 12 except for Griffith Road, and Donahue Road was cut off from Highway 12, instead turning into Main Street along the store fronts. The area where Donahue Road once connected to Highway 12 subsequently became filled by doctor's offices (now Pierce Veterinary).

The square is actually shorter on its Donahue Road side and wider on Alley Drive, becoming wider on Commerce Street behind the hospital. Griffith Road on its south end separates it from the residential district south of the square.
Jason Pryde

*"How close to California do you think we can get on thirty-two dollars and fifty-cents?" - Jason Pryde*

**Jason Pryde** is a native of Ashford Falls, New York and a graduate of Ashford Falls High School.

Not much is known about Jason's past and family. He describes himself as an "eclipsed Hebrew," suggesting that his family has neglected its Jewish roots or that he is only half-Jewish. His mother used to be a manager at the Ashford Falls Laundromat where she put up Christmas decorations before getting a job at the Ashford Falls Library. His father is an fire-fighter at the Ashford Falls Fire Department. He has an older sister and a younger brother whose existence he often denies, suggesting some major sibling animosity in his family. His favorite locations in town are the Burger Barn and the Imagination Station.

For much of his childhood, Jason has been somewhat antagonistic toward local girl Marcia Caldwell, either by teasing or mocking her through their grammar school years. Marcia dealt with him by describing her complaints to her mother, Tricia Caldwell, or her aunt, Helen Caldwell. Their general consensus for the time was that Jason was infatuated with Marcia, but at some point, Marcia beat Jason up for teasing her, and he avoided her for several years.

Jason and Marcia were eventually reunited in high school where they became friends and developed an attraction between each other. For most of this time, Marcia was schooled in the behavior of boys from Danny Featherstone, who she believed was her biological father, but Jason instead pursued other local girls like Shirley Finnerty and Julie Cassidy. After Marcia tried dating local boy, James Waverly, the son of Daniel Waverly, Jason followed them and sabotaged their outing, lifting James of his wallet and removing a distributor car from his car. Marcia once again beat Jason up, this time using karate, and told him to leave her alone.

This time, Jason refused to ignore her. After graduating high school, he got a job with Marcia at the Ashford Falls Movie House to be close to her and gradually charmed her. By 1995, they were finally dating and supporting Sabrina Collins as mayor of Ashford Falls in the mayoral election.
Robert Barber

**Robert "Bobby" Barber** was an American comedy actor whose career spaaned three decades: he is possibly best known for his work posing as a foil for Abbott and Costello on stage and screen.

Not much is known about Barber's life. Born on December 18, 1894 in New York City, New York, he made his first screen appearance in an uncredited role in the 1926 short film, "Nobody's Business," later working with Buster Keaton in "Doughboys" in 1930, with the Three Stooges in
"Soup to Nuts" in 1930, The Marx Brothers in "Monkey Business" as "Horse Feathers" in 1931 and 1932, Carole Lombard in "Supernatural" in 1933, Mae West in "I'm No Angel" in 1933 and several movies with Andy Clyde, such as "Am I Feudin'" and "Am I Having Fun."

In 1941, Barber began a long relationship with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in both vaudeville and the movies. He appeared with them in the movies "In The Navy," "Who Done It?" and "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein." He helped them in gags and scenes, kept the energy level up with pranks and practical jokes and sometimes appeared on camera during a take to break up the cast and crew. Over time, he developed a close relationship with Costello. He also joined them in the 50s TV-series, "The Abbott & Costello Show," sometimes playing as many as three different roles in a single 25-minute show.

Largely uncredited through his life, Barber had starring roles in the TV Shows "Adventures of Superman," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "The Rifleman" and "Have Gun Will Travel." He also had several uncredited roles in "Leave It To Beaver."

His last film role was in the 1959 film, "The Thirty Foot Bride of Candy Rock," a spoof of "Attack of the Fifty-Foot Woman," from the previous year. In the film, he starred alongside Lou, Dorothy Provine, Gale Garden, Joey Faye and Doodles Weaver.
Sadly, Barber passed away in 1976 in his home in Seal Beach, California at the age of eighty-one, possibly survived by his wife, Maxine Barber.
James Gratz

*"Business is a combination of luck and circumstances... And knowing in advance who not to go into business with..." - James Gratz*

**James Gratz** is a native of Ashford Falls, New York and a member of the wealthy Gratz family of Albany, New York. A long business partner and colleague of Carter Hedison, he is often described by his colleagues as a likeable and amiable businessman and family man, although sometimes considered gruff and annoyed by distractions to his routine.
Lisa Holden

*"Excuse me, but I wasn't put on this planet to solve your problems..... And neither was anyone else." - Lisa Holden*

**Lisa Holden** is a current residence of Ashford Falls, New York and a teacher at Ashford Falls High School as the school English and music teacher.

Not much is known about her past, but a few things have been revealed. Her father was a major in the United States Army, and she was frequently moved from Army bases between Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma in her youth, Her last stable address was in Denver, Colorado where she joined a band, "The Maniacs," in high school, later dropping out to join the band on the music circuit as the lead singer. Between the 70s and the 80s, she traveled around the Southeast United States performing at fairs, carnivals and high schools. As bands broke up, she joined "The Morons," "The Zombies," "China Play," "After Shock" and "The Porcelain Princesses" in some order. When she was playing at a music festival in Winchester, New York, their manager absconded with the band's money and left her broke. Abandoned and alone, she and the band broke up, but Sheriff Earl Hackett took sympathy on her and helped her find temporary lodging and a job.

For several years afterward, Lisa worked as the entertainment in the dining room at the Tangled Vine Bistro in nearby Ashford Falls and worked to get her high school diploma at Ashford Falls Christian Normal, becoming friends with Tricia Creekmore and Zoe Bryant. She dated several local eligible bachelors, like Ted Beauchamp, briefly living with him at the Owens Apartment House. During the Influenza epidemic in 1988, she was nursed to health by Dr. Elizabeth Freeling, and in 1989, she was one of several victims of Bud Mason sexually assaulting local women.

According to Carter Hedison's coma-induced dreams in 1989, Lisa reportedly had come to town looking for her old "friend," Samantha Troy, and was reportedly blamed for "mysterious events" occurring around town. Although much of Carter's illusions were partly based on actual events he was being informed of by Blake Hedison, the actual details of these events are unrevealed.

After the Tangled Vine went out of business, Lisa began entertaining again as a solo artist for a few years, returning to visit Tricia in 2000, who convinced her to replace Ann Blocker, the former music teacher at Ashford Falls High School. Although she wasn't initially interested in the job, she collided with Tricia's sister, Lisa Creekmore, for the job, getting in a fight at the local New York Delicatessen that resulted in $2500 in damages. Forced to take the job to cover the charges, she also became the school's Assistant English teacher. Reunited with Ted, she also became friends with Alex Iacocca and Melissa Strickland. Finding new bliss in working with music-inspired teenagers, she sometimes returns to the re-opened Tangled Vine as its dining room singer.
