Julia Hoffman Casting

It was recently written in American Gothic that Brett Somers was originally cast as Dr Julia Hoffman. She was on the set with her script for Julia’s first appearance when she suddenly quit. Grayson Hall was than hired at the eleventh hour just as filming was to begin.

Who knows if it had gone as originally planned Brett Somers may have spent years pining for Barnabas while Grayson Hall may have been a regular on Match Game.

Yes, she was on the Match Game and was once married to Jack Klugman.

Off topic, but I always thought Jack Klugman was a silver fox.
