I think the hair is a good marker for Luke. When they permed the hair, they changed the character. It really is pretty remarkable that Tony was able to morph this character from a rather despicable mob wannabe to a hero and romantic lead. I can't think of anyone else who was able to do that so effectively. Some would argue that Maurice or Steve Burton were able to do that, but I would say, "Go watch Geary in action. They don't hold a candle to him."

: Was the other/evil nasty side of Luke
: operating the whole time or just after
: Laura's institutionalization? I can't
: remember what they said re Fluke? They re
: wrote the other sister, the ages, the death
: of parents, how Ruby got them.. everything
: we'd been told, everything Luke, Ruby and
: Bobbie told people for decades. When he was
: killing people, hitting on kiki, saying
: nasty things to children.. was that new or
: something Luke had always done but we didn't
: see? He told Laura in the Diner that she had

: Ohhh! This is fabulous. If you want to
: understand the magic of LnL, you only need
: to compare the Laura/Scott scene in this
: clip to the scene after the death of Duvall
: with LnL. The scenes and dialogue are very
: similar,and so is the emotion. Kin is a
: fine actor. But there is something about
: the way the Tony and genie listen to each
: other and react to each other that really
: tugs at your heart.

: Also, this Luke is the Luke that was...
: before he was transformed by love. He was
: nasty, angry, and a very far cry from the
: man he became. This part of the character
: never really left him, and you can see why
: Tony liked this edge. Can a person really
: be transformed by love? Maybe not, but
: perhaps that was part of Luke's appeal

: Here's another rarity I pulled from my
: Betamax
: archive. 2 hours of clips of
: Luke,Scotty,Laura,Lesley, Bobbie etc. And
: someone named Daniel J. Travanti as Spence.
: This would be near the end of the Lassa
: Fever story. I don't believe these have been
: posted on YT before. Enjoy!
