One of her best roles, 29 November 2006

This was one of Marilyn Jones' strongest roles. I must say, however, that I have always been a fan and have never seen her in anything that I didn't enjoy. She is the typical "girl next door." My only disappointment is that no one seems to know where she is now. I would like to know where she is and what she is doing. I also liked her very much in "King's Crossing" which was short lived. I have always wondered why Linda Hamilton went on to stardom and Marilyn Jones never seemed to get beyond supporting roles. She was also very good in the "Good-Bye, Radar" episode of MASH. If anyone "out there" knows where she is I would very much like to find out.
