Terri Garber was an incredibly talented actress. Every look, every word is just perfect. And even 30 years after I first watched North & South, Lesley-Ann Down’s beauty is breathtaking.
God! Since I was a kid I've loved majesty of Mont Royal [Boone Hall]. The design,scale and detail of the house along with its approach. So very dramatic.
Terri Garber is one of the best actresses. And she was very beautiful. It is a pity that she was not invited to the serious roles .... I do not understand why ... but it was very unfair. Terry deserved a much more prominent career
I've never seen North and South until recently. All I could think was "wow, that woman is drop dead gorgeous." She and William Ostrander were absolutely gorgeous and so talented.
@@BrotherDerrick3X Terri Garber's only a totally inwardly and outwardly beautiful, nice, loving, caring, giving, talented, admirably very strong, lovable, smart sweetheart. I don't even know her. She doesn't know me either. I still know this vibe I get from her, though. Seriously, oh yeah.
The fictional character Ashton's supposed to be grandiosely soap opera-like one-dimensionally superficially evil. That's what makes her such a fun, interesting, funny, and unrealistic villain to watch. Thus, she's never meant taken too seriously. I'll never take her way too seriously. It's not like she ever has or will exist in reality.
@@privategirl4716 Oh believe me, there were, are and will be people exactly like her. Maybe not as eccentric or theatrical as she is-delightfully so in the series-but her mindset and character are ever so much out there. I believe now more than ever. She was the prototype Karen with style lol.
It must have been so much fun for Terri Garber to play a character so unrealistically grandiosely one-dimensionally evil. Someone so unlike her. Lol! Acting must be a lot of fun. I'm also so glad Terri Garber and previously unfortunately deceased Kirstie Alley were great friends in real life, and had much fun playing their intriguing North and South roles.
Watching Ashton in North and South Books 1 and 2 miniseries is no different from watching the past version of the soap opera General Hospital fictional character past 80's villian version of Lucy Coe. It was fun hating villiany but funny Lucy. It's also so hating villiany but funny Ashton.
I never thought of her as Scarlett. Scarlett was not evil. She was never described like that in the book nor the film. Of course she could be bitchy at times, but she loved her parents and children, she cares about her friends like the Tarleton twins and is devastated by their death.. She fought to protect her family and their estate. She cared for her servants. Mammy loves her. Pork and Big Sam respect her. She saves Melanie and her baby. She swears to Melanie on her death bed to look after her boy. She is nothing like Ashton.
Scarlet wasn’t evil though. She was selfish, spoiled, and could be a bitch at times but she had a good heart. She loved her family and would have done anything to protect them. Ashton was evil. She loved only herself.
The reason that is, is because Gabor isn't that different from her character "Ashton" in real life. She's just a bitter old leftist now that lives off the success of her daughter .
@@BrotherDerrick3X possibly, though she would have been clever enough not to antagonise him, would have told him how great he was, plus would have helped him in business by being a superb party hostess and networker. He was old fashioned and inflexible in his views who wanted nothing more than a wife who looked good on his arm and boosted his ego. Ashton wanted the "finer things in life" and to be the centre of attention in society. They both would have gotten what they wanted.
@@MarkL-we8uk in her heart, Ashton was a stone slut. She would have definitely looked for some dick elsewhere. Justin was not stupid like James Huntoon, and he would have found out a lot sooner.
@@BrotherDerrick3X would have kept him distracted with great sex, and the moment that he laid a hand on her she would have killed him, gotten rid of the body and gotten all of his money. Ashton didn't play those games.
@@ashton5171 After watching Ashton in North and South in the 80s I've always thought that if I had a daughter I would call her Ashton. It's a great name.
The third book is titled "Heaven and Hell," and was the basis for another miniseries about the Main/Hazard families during the era of Reconstruction that aired in the mid-nineties.
Ashten Healy same, same, she told me one day i was named after her because she was so beautiful and i was like the bitchiness didn’t concern you a bit😹😹
God, such good actresses....I remember watching this series as a kid when my parents bought the whole VCR set

Madeline was such a beauty!!!! And natural lovely person ❤️❤️❤️😍😍
She really was!

So very dramatic.
Madeline looks like heaven

@@mskatonic1 I forever love and respect Terri Garber as a totally inwardly and outwardly beautiful person, woman, and talented actress.
She sure played the part of Ashton as wonderfully evil 😉😼😈
After she played Ashton, Terry Garber played Blake Carrington's niece on Dynasty.

Ashton is a snake.
Ashton is the southern brat and Madeline is the southern beauty...

Ashton is the kind of character you love to hate.

She did keep things interesting.
Ashton that witch...Oh but what ABSOLUTE fun..LOL!
Of course Ashton was mad, angry and Jealous of Madeline! Madeline is stunningly beautiful
i love her laugh at the end :)
Ashton wants revenge because Madeline prevented Billy getting killed...
She also helped get her the abortion when she was younger. Dirty little secrets fester. She resented Madeline because Madeline knew her weakness.
Ashton wanted to hurt Orry.
She is no safer with Ashton than she was with her ex-husband.
Ain't that the truth!! Madeline's that stereotypical "damsel in distress"...kind of annoying actually...ugh!! 🤦😱👎
Ashton is Evil to the core
I love the 'North and South trilogy' a real page turner I read all three books consecutively. 'Heaven and Hell' is my favorite. ^_^
Ashton character is one of the best in North and south and terri garber really 👍good
Ashton played the best bitch ever! I always thought she would have done a great job as Scarlet O'Hara

Ashton was mean.
Haha she is actually my favorite character
My dad really named me after her?! She’s so nasty
Selfish, evil, manipulative, power hungry and devilishly funny. Terri Garber rocked it as Ashton.
She did. I can not think of another actress who could have played Ashton better.
The reason that is, is because Gabor isn't that different from her character "Ashton" in real life. She's just a bitter old leftist now that lives off the success of her daughter .
Ashton is delightful!
Thank God, those of black and white ancestry are no longer subject to such ignorance.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Madeline is beautiful🎊🎉
Ashton was a "Beautiful Nightmare" cool name, though.
yes she is...but whithout her, it would be boring...thats why i love her
Just found out I am named after her, thanks mom.
A great name!
Some shows like XENA and LEGEND OF THE SEEKER...make a scene. Even MERLIN, what a great show that was. Action and adventure with it, love the heroes
Ashton reminds me a lot of Scarlett Ohara. I never thought anyone would hold a candle to her but she kinda does a little.
Scarlet was never this evil...
@@GosieKin that's true. Scarlet did things out of desperation. Not to be mean or evil. I just meant in looks and attitude kind of..lol
"Hatred is like wine; it improves with age."
LMAO!!!!
Ashton was a mega bitch but she had a poetic sense about her! lol
Ashton would have been the perfect wife for Justin instead of Madeline
Justin would have beat the hell out of her, like he did Madeline.

Justin would have kept her at the plantation. Far away from the joys of Charleston. Ashton probably would have killed him.
Ashton reminds me of scarlet O’Hara 😂
She literally was Scarlett O'Hara on steroids.
@@travisdavis7591 not really but seriously 😐
What happens to her? I forgot and they don't show the rest of the series here?
and this is who my parents named me after 😹😹
Same!! Why’d my dad name me after her? She’s so nasty
@@ashtonvickers928 mine said because she’s beautiful and had “personality”
@@ashton5171 After watching Ashton in North and South in the 80s I've always thought that if I had a daughter I would call her Ashton. It's a great name.
I watched this because apparently this is the woman my mother name me after. XD
Ash Vanity SAME FINALLY SOMEONE
Same!!!!!
Same!
I am stunned she's half white in half black
Me too, hey Ashtons !
The historical inaccuracies in the hair is hilarious
Not half as hilarious as expecting Hollywood to be 100% accurate with something as trivial as hairstyles.
😄
Clothes too. Looks like Antebellum Dynasty.
After book 2 episode 2 "O" there is no well relation between the episodes, why? someboby can answer my question?
thats why medeline is buff
Yes I agree. But some not all are still sensitive to race. It's very sad.
Scarlett O'Ashton personified!
I meant book 3. I think there was a third book by john jakes. If I had the time I would read the books.
The third book is titled "Heaven and Hell," and was the basis for another miniseries about the
Main/Hazard families during the era of Reconstruction that aired in the mid-nineties.
@ChicagoTyme Yes I guess some were born just plane evil.
Ashton hated Brett and Madeline. She just loved herself.
Ashton's character is a mess!
You said a mouthful sister
She's selfish and thinks only of herself..
Was this in part 3? What happened to her money?
Ashton ain't no good.
Laisal Ann down she’s my all time favorite person the part I don’t like is Aston being so rude to her that’s I don’t like about her
everyone in these comments named after her hahah
My mom named me after Ashton
Ashten Healy same, same, she told me one day i was named after her because she was so beautiful and i was like the bitchiness didn’t concern you a bit😹😹
oh my! :S
So Madeline is an Octoroon! There are a lot of people like her who are pass as Europeans and not mix race.
Orry accepted Madeline.
6:51
Ashton reminds me alot of Scarlet O'Hara.
Ashton was an evil woman
Terrie is a beautiful actress, but she places evil parts.

@arickey86 Cool Beans.

You wanted the child to imitate her character or her acting ability? I would name mine Madeline for the former.

My dad named me after her
Brian Helveston My mom named me after Ashton too🤦🏾♀️
Malcolm x was right ,the lightskinned women got to sit n eat at the master's table.
