J. Jamison\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrayson Hall was a widely acclaimed New York Theatre actress, 1964 Academy Award nominee, and co-star of the 1960s-70s Gothic television serial, \u003ci\u003eDark Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere for the first time is a survey of her life and career which takes place in the world of New York writers and artists beginning in the early 1950s; a world that revolved around serious intellectual discourse, cocktails, cigarettes and theatre  Grayson's own story is that of a hugely talented woman, admired by writers, producers, fellow actors, but who did not get the one role that would propel her into the stratosphere. Nevertheless, with the roles she did inhabit, she became an iconic figure. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book reaches back to Grayson's earliest stage appearances in 1942 as a teenager on Long Island; her extensive stage work in regional theatre and in New York City; her television and film appearances including three early New York art house films, the avant-garde French film \u003ci\u003eQui  tes-vous, You Polly Maggoo?\u003c\/i\u003e and her Oscar nominated turn in \u003ci\u003eThe Night of the Iguana\u003c\/i\u003e.

Was it always happiness and light on the \u003ci\u003eDark Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e set?
