Topic: Alexandra Moltke


  
  Dark Shadows Journal | Alexandra Moltke
The three-month-old Alexandra was placed in a laundry basket and transported with her parents via a United States Bomber, beginning a new life in New York, where the Moltke family settled.
In the 1980s, Alexandra was the subject of unwelcome publicity, when called as a witness during the notorious Claus Von Bulow manslaughter trial, which was widely televised.
In 2001, Alexandra paid homage to her time on Dark Shadows when she penned the foreword to the tribute book Dark Shadows Memories, which she followed with an appearance as part of the Museum of Television and Radio's salute to the show, held in Los Angeles.

Alexandra knew Claus was suspected of attempted murder but thought it "a pack of nonsense." In July 1981, Claus was indicted by a grand jury (allegedly, he had attempted murder by injecting Sunny with insulin in December 1979 and again in December 1980).
However, in an interview after the trial, Alexandra discounted this and hinted vaguely that "there could have been some bombs dropped." One of her friends explained that although Alexandra hadn't lied, she had held back, not wanting to be the cause of Claus' ruin.
Deep down, however, Alexandra didn't think she was the real motive: "The money was the motive," she revealed to Sunny's financial advisor, "He had me for free." As the prosecution's case neared conclusion, Alexandra still had not appeared.

As for Alexandra Moltke, sorry, but she was totally vapid--an actress who always sounded like she was performing in a high school production.
Granted, the part never realized its true potential (blame the writers for that), but if Moltke had been a halfway decent actress, she might have overcome her material.
I have to disagree with you about Alexandra Moltke -- while she wasn't on the same level as some of the other actresses on the show, she still turned in some good performances, IMO.

But given the success of the show, the newly energized cast, and the progressively weirder storylines, it's not surprising that Moltke was inspired to prove herself capable of stepping outside the range of her goody two-shoes character.
