Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Louise Sorel is someone you wouldn't know unless you were my mother or you spent the late 80's watching the greatest daytime soap opera in the history of soap operas, Santa Barbara, like we did.  If that's the case you'd be very familiar with the eccentric villainess Augusta Lockridge, who framed a man for murder to protect wrongly suspected son Warren, served daughter Laken's pet pigeon to the family as hors d'ourves as revenge for dating Ted Capwell, whose family she held a grudge against, faked a kidnapping and used the ransom money to keep the family mansion, and had an affair with sister Julia's rapist Dash Nichols, and you'd understand that meeting her portrayer would be a big deal for me.  We got a good laugh out of the fact that, although I traveled all the way to LA to meet her, she's an Upper East Side neighbor, and we agreed that next time we'd skip the TSA pat-down and have dinner and drinks at Scalinatella.  Hold the pigeon.
