Angel in Green featuring Susan Dey

In 1987, Susan Dey co-starred with Bruce Boxleitner in Angel in Green. This TV movie saw Susan Dey playing a young nun who is working in a village on an island somewhere in the Pacific. Bruce Boxleitner plays the army green beret who comes to the island to train the people in the village to defend themselves against violent rebels. Dey and Boxleitner, though their characters are polar opposites, eventually must deal with their feelings for each other.

Susan Dey looked absolutely wonderful in Angel in Green. She had the same hairstyle that she sported in the feature film Echo Park and the first season of her TV series L.A. Law. Dey seemed very youthful and healthy in this project and she had great chemistry with her male co-star, Bruce Boxleitner.

Though it had a VHS release, Angel in Green is another one of those movies that has not been released on DVD. This one seems like a no-brainer for a proper release...Susan Dey and Bruce Boxleitner have tons of fans and the subject matter of the movie would likely appeal to many (military buffs, Christians, 80s nostalgia fans, etc).

Anyways, Susan Dey did some fantastic work in Angel in Green. She gives a very appealing and accessible performance and it certainly ranks among her best stuff. Hopefully, the powers that be will someday give all her fans greater access to this classic made-for-television movie.

Susan Dey was a vampire!

Back in February 2011, we first examined Susan Dey's 1995 TV movie Deadly Love. The information offered in that post was sparse but it was all that was available at the time. Now the time has finally come for us to take a deeper look at this fantastic Lifetime vampire movie!

Susan Dey is absolutely wonderful in Deadly Love. The actress is perhaps at the very top of her game, having just come off a string of well-received made-for-television movie projects over the previous few years. Physically, Dey is simply stunning here (she reminded me a bit of Michelle Pfeiffer, only much better looking) and proves beyond a doubt that she could have been starring in feature films if she had wanted or had been given the chance.

Deadly Love allowed Susan Dey an opportunity to do something completely new: play a vampire! Though no stranger to projects involving romance, the actress rarely played in things involving an element of fantasy. She is perfectly cast as the immortally beautiful vampire and she brings a wonderful ethereal quality to her role. 

Dey also has great chemistry with her co-star Stephen McHattie and the two share several somewhat explicit love scenes together. Some Susan Dey fans, if they haven't seen the movie, will be happy to hear that the actress appears to have done most or all of her own love-making scenes with minimal use of a body double!

Overall, Deadly Love is a great entry in the Susan Dey canon. She handles her role with great style and looks lovely doing it.

Susan Dey in Love Leads the Way

Before revitalizing her career in 1986 with the independent feature film Echo Park and a return to mega television exposure with L.A. Law, Susan Dey was featured in the 1984 TV movie Love Leads the Way. This emotional recounting of the early days of seeing eye dogs and the rights of blind people was a Disney Channel original and starred Timothy Bottoms as guide dog pioneer Morris Frank. Love Leads the Way, inexplicably, has failed to surface officially on DVD (as of 2013...hopefully this will be rectified!) despite the high probability that a nostalgic item like this would sell well. Regardless, it is wonderful to see Susan Dey in a period piece (this one is set in the late 1920s).
