Chemical
Reaction
On-Screen they've bickered and bantered, loved and loathed, not to mention, married, divorced, separated and reconciled enough times to give Elizabeth Tyalor a run for her money. Throughout it all, General Hospital's Leslie Charleson and Stuart Damon have developed the kind of special friendship that few people ever find, let alone hold onto for two decades. We asked the same questions of both actors - separately.
What famous duo do you feel is most reminiscent of your characters?
LC: Tracy and Hepburn - or Bonnie and Clyde
SD: Myrna Loy and William Powell. They had great chemistry when they did those Thin Man movies.
If your world ended tomorrow, what would you regret not having done?
LC: Travel. I have not seen enough of the world, and (not seeing more) would make me sad. I've only been to England. I'd like to see a pyramid or take a gondola ride.
What subject, in your opinion, do you know best?
SD: I know two subject really well. One is how to be an actor; the other is how to raise a family.
What are the biggest differences between men and women?
LC: Men are basically silly, stupid people, and women are very smart.
SD - I think men basically have it easier than women. Women have had to fight very hard for their identity, whereas men, it was given to them as a birthright.
What word/words would someone never use to describe you?
What word would someone never use to describe Leslie?
What word would someone never use to describe Stuart?
Aside from standards like "No Smoking" or "No Trespassing," what original "No" sign would you put on your front door?
SD: No disrespecting of others
What task do you most often put off until tomorrow that you should do today?
LC: Any chores or cleaning - you could name almost anything. I've managed to put off going into the kitchen for years now.
SD: I do everything today that I should. I'm extremely conscientious.
If it were perfectly acceptable for adults to play with kid's toys, what would you play with?
LC: Tickle Me Elmo. I know its ridiculous, but I want to play with it.
SD: Teddy bears and musical instruments.
If you could witness any invention or discovery in history, what would you choose to see?
LC: The lightbulb or the telephone. They both would have been exciting.
SD: The discovery of fire - way back when they were rubbing stones together.
