Grayson Hall Facts
Perhaps the greatest testament to her talent and appeal is that when she was first cast on TV's enormously popular supernatural soap opera "Dark Shadows" (1966) as Dr. Julia Hoffman, who tries to cure Barnabas Collins of being a vampire, the original intention was to have Barnabas kill her character off within a few weeks. However, Hall proved to be so effective in the role that those plans were changed, and she remained with the series for entire run.

Believed for many years to be the female storyteller on the Disney album, "Chilling, Thrilling Sound of the Haunted House". However, Walt Disney records in "Mousetracks: The story of Walt Disney Records" and Hall's biography state that the actress on the album is Laura Olsher.

She made very few films during her career, but her performance in The Night of the Iguana (1964) earned her both Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
