Well, we all know that she plays Felicia's grandmother, but do you know
the character's name. I mean, other than "Grandmother". Maybe everyone
else knows this and I'm the last one to catch on, but....

I was looking at the Internet Movie Database
(htt://us.imdb.com/search.html) and I decided to pull of General Hospital
(because it also has TV shows even though it calls itself a "movie"
database). I was glancing down the list of cast members over the years
and I get to June Lockhart. It says that her character's name is
Kristina Maldonado. For anyone who doesn't remember Kristina Wagner's
maiden name, it's Maldonado. Heh, heh. I thought it was a funny joke.
:) Boy, those PTB never quit, do they?

Adios. Mer

Meredyth,
That must have been an error because June Lockhart plays the character of
Felicia's grandmother, Maria Ramirez (Maria is pronounced like Mariah).
Kris' first married name was Malandro. Her maiden name is Crump. I bet the
database just got it confused. Michele

Yeah, I remember now.... I remember that when I first saw Felicia's
grandmother, and heard her name, I thought of the movie, "They Call the
Wind Mariah." And I *thought* that they'd gotten Kristina Wagner's "old"
name wrong.

For the record, they don't even have Stephen T. Kay among the cast
members, but include other non-contract players like Felicia Bell. Guess
it's not as reliable as one would hope to think.

Thanks for the correction.

Felicia's grandmother's name is Maria, pronounced muh-RYE-uh; her last
name is Ramirez.

Kristina Wagner's maiden name was not Maldonado. Her name when she
first came to GH was Malandro, which was her first husband's last name.

According to the GH Scrapbook, it is Maria Ramirez, pronounced
Ma-ri(Long I, rather than e)-a

Alrighty. Woo, woo. I was wrong. That is, the Internet Movie Database
was wrong. Been acknowledged already. Let it go.... :) Let the thread
die, already. I mean, after all, we're taking up valuable
Jax/Brenda/Sonny/Lily debating space with all this talk about Timmy's
mom, er, Felicia's grandmother. ;) Tee, hee.

Adios. Mer - realizing that all those people who said not to trust
anything you read on the WWW were right all along

Oh, oh! I get it. That's why Frisco Jones now plays Fox Mulder on the
X-Files while Maurice Bernard is playing Maxwell Sheffield on The Nanny
and Stephen Nichols is coming on to GH to play Brenda's twin sister! It
all makes so much sense now! ;)

Thanks, Dave!

Adios. Mer

Hey, I loved your column last week. Good job! And, BTW, how do you feel
about Harry Anderson's portrayal of you on TV?

Hi Bob!

I was wondering if YOU had time to come and actually treat patients at GH,
seeing as how all of the regulars are too busy on research, external projects,
family bruhahahahahas, and various love affairs. There's a long line of
folks beggin' for medicine in Port Charles.

Actually I thought her maiden name was Kristina Malandro. Anyone else?
