Kathryn Leigh Scott is best known for her roles in “Dark Shadows” (1966), “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987) and “The Great Gatsby” (1974). “Dark Shadows” was an American gothic soap opera that aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from 1966, to 1971. The show depicted the lives, loves, trials, and tribulations of the wealthy Collins family of Collinsport, Maine, where several supernatural occurrences take place. The series generated two full-length motion pictures “House Of Dark Shadows” (1970) and “Night Of Dark Shadows” (1971).
In 1986, Scott founded Pomegranate Press, which published her books about “Dark Shadows,” as well as other books authored by her, including “The Bunny Years,” about the 25-year history of Playboy Bunnies, and coffee table books on film art.
