Elizabeth Hubbard (December 22, 1933 – April 8, 2023) Television, stage and film actress, recognized for her role as Althea Davis on the NBC daytime soap opera, The Doctors (1964–1978, 1981–1982), for which she received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1974, and as businesswoman Lucinda Walsh on the CBS soap opera, As the World Turns (1984–2010) for which she received eight Daytime Emmy Award nominations. Hubbard also received another Emmy Award for playing former First Lady Edith Wilson in the television film First Ladies Diaries: Edith Wilson (1976).

Hubbard began her screen career in 1962, starring as Anne Fletcher on the soap opera Guiding Light. The following year, she joined the cast of The Edge of Night as Carol Kramer. In 1964, she inaugurated the role of Dr. Althea Davis on NBC's year-old soap opera The Doctors. Hubbard played the role until October 1969, when she left to pursue a career in Hollywood. She returned to the role as of October 1, 1970 and continued the role until 1977. She returned again in 1981 and remained with the show until its cancellation in 1982. In 1974, Hubbard was awarded the first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Hubbard's pairing with the character of Dr. Nick Bellini (Gerald Gordon) made them one of the most popular romantic couples in soap operas, dominating the show's storyline during the later half of the 1960s and for most of the 1970s.

After The Doctors was cancelled, Hubbard joined the cast of One Life to Live in the recurring role of society matron Estelle Chadwick. In 1984, she joined As the World Turns as businesswoman Lucinda Walsh. She was nominated nine times for a Daytime Emmy for the role. Hubbard left the program in 1999 due to a disagreement over the character's direction, but was persuaded to return several months later by the show's new executive producer. Hubbard was featured in a prominent storyline in 2005 when her character was diagnosed with cancer. She was in the show's 50th anniversary episode in April 2006, and remained with the show until its final episode in September 2010.  (Wikipedia)

i saw someone else send this to @memberoflottiescult (i think) but what are your mean girls middle name headcanons (i hope this makes sense) x

Okay, so I was supposed to answer this yesterday but I had to Consult My People (mean girls discord server) because I can't come up with names myself skdjfhjd

Anyway, I have a few ideas (with lots of credit to @sexycornenthusiast) but @/ my followers, feel free to send more ideas!!

Cady: Canonically it's Marie which doesn't feel right to me because why would Betsy and Chip name her Cady and then her second name is Marie? Unless it's a family name.

Janis: Elizabeth. Maybe. Janis Elizabeth Sarkisian? Each Janis has a different middle name to me, but I'm not sure about Janis Ian and Janis 'Imi'ike.

Regina: Shout out to Bre! Regina Lucille George

Gretchen: Shout out to Bre! Gretchen Naomi Weiners (though I was sort of thinking Gretchen Rose? Both can be true)

Karen: Karen Smith and Karen Shetty have different middle names - I'm not sure which they have, but they're different. Karen. uh. Hmmm.

Damian: I keep going with Paul for some reason. Damian Paul Hubbard. But also, in my heart and soul know, I am wrong about this.

Aaron: Either no middle name or something like Alexander. Aaron Alexander Samuels - just a guy with three first names.

#in my heart most of these are wrong but im doing my best

Coeli's Picks: Green, part 1

Ever since I started picking up speed with this project, my friend @coeli1000 has been sending me suggestions to help me fill the blog. I haven't used all of her suggestions, for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's hard to find good pictures of a particular outfit. Sometimes it's an outfit that's already been covered by one of the other posters (I like to give preference to outfits that haven't been done already). Sometimes I don't feel that I know enough about the source to talk about it intelligently. Sometimes I just run out of days in a month before I can get to everything!

So, for the month of "anything goes," I thought I'd feature a bunch of her suggestions that I haven't covered in detail so far. I'll be posting them in groups rather than individually. I reserve the right to cover any of these outfits in full at a later time, but meanwhile, here's a sample!

One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

Samson and Delilah (1949) / Hedy Lamarr as Delilah

"Hedy Lamarr's peacock dress from Samson and Delilah is a stunner."

Galavant / Mallory Jansen as Madalena

"Queen Madalena on Galavant had a nice one - awfully simple for royalty, but a gorgeously saturated color."

Cleopatra (1963) / Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra

"I expect somebody has already done Elizabeth Taylor's green Cleopatra dress, but just in case:"

The Story of Alexander Graham Bell (1939) / Loretta Young as Mabel Hubbard Bell

"Loretta Young wore this beauty in The Story of Alexander Graham Bell, though unfortunately the movie was in black and white."

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) / Winona Ryder as Mina Murray Harker

"There are several green dresses to choose among in Bram Stoker's Dracula."

Murdoch Mysteries / Hélène Joy as Dr. Julia Ogden

Murdoch Mysteries / Siobhan Murphy as Ruth Newsome

"Ruth Higgins-Newsome wears this confection of stripes and feathers while making a deal with Dr. John Kellogg to invest in his cornflake company. He looks at her and announces that he's going to put a rooster on the box. She asks her husband "Do I look like a rooster?" Well…"

Spelman Seminary, companionship, Sophia B. Packard, and Harriet E. Giles

Harriet Elizabeth "Hattie" Giles and Sophia Brett Packard in a photograph sometime before 1891. Image from Spelman College Archives and NYPL.

In 1881, Sophia Brett Packard founded Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary with her longtime companion, Harriet E. Giles. The school would later be renamed Spelman Seminary in 1884 in honor of John D. Rockefeller's wife, Laura Celestia "Cettie" Spelman, who was an active abolitionist and school teacher, since the latter had paid the balance to keep the school open, which opened its doors in 1888. Sophia would continue onward on the school's board of trustees, then as president until her death in June 1891, when there were 464 students and faculty of 34. There's more to this story than the four paragraphs on Sophia's Wikipedia page.

Sophia, my fifth cousin five times removed, was born in New Salem, Massachusetts in January 1824 to Winslow Packard (1790-1852) and Rachel Freeman (1788-1844). She had five siblings: Joseph Fairbanks (1812-1883), Jane (b. 1815), Mary (1815-1838), Hubbard Vaughn (1817-1861), and Rachel Maria (b. 1818). She would graduate from the Charleston Female Seminary in Massachusetts, work at the Connecticut Literary Institution in Suffield, be secretary for the American Baptist Home Mission Society. By the early 1880s she was committed to helping improve education for Black people, specifically Black women, in the South. She would later be described as a "woman of rare executive ability" and having an earnest, strong character. [1]

There is more to be said. You may have noticed earlier that I described Harriet E. Giles as her life-long companion. This is first evidenced by the fact that Sophia died from sickness while on a summer vacation with Harriet, and would be buried in Athol, Massachusetts. Harriet, who lived until 1909, and born in New Salem, Massachusetts like Sophia, would become the president of Spelman Seminary when Sophia died. One writer would call Harriet and Sophia a lesbian power couple, noting that they met each other in the mid-1850s when Harriet was a student at New Salem Academy and Sophia was the preceptor. Both would be buried next to one each other in Silver Lake Cemetery. They would also be described as "close friends and supportive coworkers" by Harry G. Lefever in his article on the early origins of Spelman College. He also noted note the New England-progressive outlook they brought to the school, noting their emphasis on liberal and industrial courses, but employed assumptions about gender roles, which became part of the curriculum while being self-sacrificing and putting others before themselves. At the same time, they never fundamentally challenged social injustices or inequities, either by staying silent about redistribution of land for formerly enslaved peoples, not actively lobbying to end lynching within the South, or having Black people in leadership positions. [2]

Further evidence shows Harriet and Sophia living together in Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut in 1860, within the Mather household, in this below census extract:

Sophia and Harriet are highlighted by a yellow box. Source is 1860 United States Federal Census for Sophia B Packard, Connecticut, Hartford, Suffield, Year: 1860; Census Place: Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut; Roll: M653_79; Page: 667; Family History Library Film: 803079

The same is the case in 1865, when they are living in the same household in Worcester, Massachusetts, along with many other teachers and students. She would still be living in Worcester, Massachusetts until at least 1867. At first I couldn't find her in the 1870 census, and her 1890 passport application does not mention Harriet. However, digging into it more, I found them together in Suffolk, Massachusetts, and it turns out that Harriet submitted a passport application at the same time as Sophia. Additionally, when Harriet died in November 1909 of pneumonia, an obituary in The Sumpter Enterprise at the time described Sophia as Harriet's "friend and co-worker". The Atlanta Constitution would use similar language in their obituary. They were both called "devoted Christian woman" in another article about Spellman, which isn't surprising considering Sophia had worked in a church and what became Spellman was originally in the basement of a church before moving to a new location. [3]

Otherwise, a 1853 student lists for New Salem Academy note that Harriet's father, Samuel, is the secretary of the academy, Harriet as a teacher of music. Sophia is not listed there. However, she is listed as a preceptress in 1855 and Samuel is still secretary of the school, and Harriet is a student in the school's classical department. I also found them together in the 1880 census, boarding on 275 Shawmut Avenue (which is seemingly just an apartment building) in Boston within the Ryder household, along with many other boarders. [8] Harriet would also write a moving eulogy to Sophia, and mentions "loving companionship" which is undoubtedly a way to allude to the romantic relationship they had together, whether it can be called a domestic partnership, romantic friendship, or something else:

It is not necessary to euloigize one so widely known. Her work speaks for her; and the monuments she has erected, will endure from generation to generation, in the lives made better by her influence. How large her bundle of sheaves! How thickly studded her crown with stars for those she has won to Christ! We mourn not for her, but for the work, and the workers who will so greatly miss her loving companionship and wise counsels. Surely "They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever."

Both also opened the Rollstone School in March 1859 together, which ended after both accepted teaching positions at the Connecticut Literary Institution. They both, would also, teach at the Oread Institute in Worchester from 1864 to 1867, with Sophia as co-principal and Harriet as teacher of ornamentals and music. They also both co-founded the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society in 1877.

"Sophia B. Packard and Harriet E. Giles with Spelman Seminary Students" in 1886, via  National Alumnae Association of Spelman College

Spelman Seminary would later become Spelman College when its name changed in 1924. Otherwise, one article in The Springfield Daily Republican on November 25, 1939, possibly accessed using one of the libraries here, notes that an oil painting of Harriet was gifted to the Swift River Valley Historical Society. It is likely still in their collections, even though it is strange since the society wasn't incorporated until 1962.

While we don't know everything about Sophia, Harriet, and their relationship, which some have described as an iconic same-sex couple among many others, we can say that their legacy certainly lives on to this day.

“You had better re-inhabit your old life my friend before you get yourself killed.”

Episode 2 of ‘A Discovery of Witches’ season 2  and things are going from bad to worse for Matthew Roydon.  His situation is best summed up as between a rock and a hard place.  He’s struggling to pick up the threads of his past life [400 years in the past] when he was Elizabeth’s witch hating, brutal enforcer.  If the Queen and her spymaster, William Cecil, find out his secret then his witchy gf Diana will be in grave danger.  He has to ‘be’ his former self to keep them both safe but at great personal cost.  He is forced to kill a witch to keep Diana’s secret safe.  Cecil, the Queen, London’s top vamp Andrew Hubbard AND Diana are furious about his actions while Matthew is consumed with guilt.  He had no choice.    On the upside - it looks they have found a witchy teacher for Diana - and Matthew gets an earring.

For a Halloween post, I could not pass over the opportunity to discuss the Salem Witch Trials, and two ancestral connections to two women on opposing sides of the event.

The tragedy of the Salem Witch Trials lasted from February 1692 to May 1693, resulting in the death of at least 25 people. Multiple theories surround the event and each explain different reasons as to why the Trials began in the first place, but the overall consensus is that we may never know why dozens of villagers were accused, and in some cases, killed for witchcraft.

Years ago, upon researching my own family history, I discovered my own familial connection to Ann Putnam. Born October 18, 1679 in Salem, she was a young girl when herself and others — Elizabeth Hubbard, Mary Walcott, Mercy Lewis, Abigail Williams, and Mary Warren — began the accusations of dozens of villagers, making claims that would result in Putnam personally being responsible for the allegations of 62 people.

A childhood friend of mine discovered her own connection to Rebecca Nurse, who was killed during the Trials on July 19, 1692 at the age of 71. Born in England in 1621, Nurse was living in the Massachusetts colony around 1644. Originally she was found not guilty of witchcraft but due to the public being unhappy with outcome, the jury conducted a second deliberation where Nurse was found to be guilty. One thing to understand is that Ann Putnam was the main accuser within this specific trial, providing claims and supposed evidence against Nurse.

While the claims that Putnam made meant life or death for some people, it is worth noting that as a young girl, she may have been greatly influenced by the opinions of her family members and others within the village who held grudges against those accused. As Erin and I discovered this connection our families had so many centuries ago, it was surreal having the two families together again after so long.

Hispanic Heritage Month: Literary Fiction Picks

It Would Be Night in Caracas by Karina Sainz Borgo, Elizabeth Bryer (Translation)

In Caracas, Venezuela, Adelaida Falcon stands over an open grave. Alone, except for harried undertakers, she buries her mother–the only family Adelaida has ever known. Numb with grief, Adelaida returns to the apartment they shared. Outside the window that she tapes shut every night—to prevent the tear gas raining down on protesters in the streets from seeping in. When looters masquerading as revolutionaries take over her apartment, Adelaida resists and is beaten up. It is the beginning of a fight for survival in a country that has disintegrated into violence and anarchy, where citizens are increasingly pitted against each other. But as fate would have it, Adelaida is given a gruesome choice that could secure her escape. Filled with riveting twists and turns, and told in a powerful, urgent voice, It Would Be Night in Caracas is a chilling reminder of how quickly the world we know can crumble.

The Lost Book of Adana Moreau by Michael Zapata

In 1929 in New Orleans, a Dominican immigrant named Adana Moreau writes a science fiction novel. The novel earns rave reviews, and Adana begins a sequel. Then she falls gravely ill. Just before she dies, she destroys the only copy of the manuscript. Decades later in Chicago, Saul Drower is cleaning out his dead grandfather’s home when he discovers a mysterious manuscript written by none other than Adana Moreau. With the help of his friend Javier, Saul tracks down an address for Adana’s son in New Orleans, but as Hurricane Katrina strikes, they must head to the storm-ravaged city for answers. What results is a brilliantly layered masterpiece—an ode to home, storytelling and the possibility of parallel worlds.

Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea, Enrique Hubbard Urrea (Translator)

Nineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in her Mexican village and dreams about her father, who journeyed to the United States to find work. Recently, it has dawned on her that he isn't the only man who has left town. In fact, there are almost no men in the village--they've all gone north. While watching The Magnificent Seven, Nayeli decides to go north herself and recruit seven men--her own "Siete Magníficos"--to repopulate her hometown and protect it from the bandidos who plan on taking it over. Filled with unforgettable characters and prose as radiant as the Sinaloan sun, Into the Beautiful North is the story of an irresistible young woman's quest to find herself on both sides of the fence.

Conquistadora by Esmeralda Santiago

As a young girl growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who traveled there with Ponce de León. And in handsome twin brothers Ramón and Inocente—both in love with Ana—she finds a way to get there. She marries Ramón, and in 1844, just eighteen, she travels across the ocean to a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited on the island. Ana faces unrelenting heat, disease and isolation, and the dangers of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of running Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil War breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda’s slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own. And when at last Ana falls for a man who may be her destiny—a once-forbidden love—she will sacrifice nearly everything to keep hold of the land that has become her true home. This is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where human passions and cruelties collide: thrilling history that has never before been brought so vividly and unforgettably to life.

Friday

Listen to the riot of robins that woke me up at 4am.

Turn up the volume!!!

Diane was smart to wear earplugs. She slept until 5:30am, at least 45 minutes after it started getting light out. By 6:10 we were packed and headed out. By this time, the roosters were waking up.

A view from the farm.

Our first stop was to the auto shop to get a new battery. Ours was cranking at 1/2 the amps. We were concerned that it would die on us in the middle of nowhere so we replaced it. All is good now and we got a good recommendation on breakfast.

Next stop, the Hubbard Ave Diner in Middleton, WI. Designed to look like an old fashion diner with a menu to match. After some tasty hash we were ready to drive. Final stop… Fargo.

Hubbard Ave Diner. Middleton is quite a cute town.

Well almost. We dragged ourselves across Minnesota. We stopped in Minneapolis for fast food. Culver’s to be specific. Fried cod that was actually quite good. Not at all like a fillet-o-fish.

Fried cod fast food!

The next several hours involved driving the long, straight I-94 while we watched the sky grow darker. As we approached Fargo, the skies finally opened up.

Dark skies over Minnesota.

We rushed to check in to our hotel and find our way to downtown. Fargo proved to be a vibrant city with a young population and an active nightlife. We walked around checking out a few places and landed in, of all places, a seafood restaurant.

Guess where we are.

Here’s a hint.

We sat at the bar and ordered local fish. It was my first walleye and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Making things even better, we talked to a local couple who made us feel right at home. Elizabeth and Andrew made their way back to the area after living around the country including Petaluma CA, Florida, Savanna GA and other places. We had fun talking about all our kids, retirement, and travel.

Delicious walleye.

No night caps for us. We fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow.
