This is so weird.....I just saw the unaired pilot of The Vintage Years the other day; this got re-worked later as Falcon Crest. It's available to view on AOL Video at http://video.aol.com/video/tv-falcon-crest-the-vintage-years-pilot/1457860

Without any spoilers, the story beginnings are told differently, Angela's hair is gray, Richard is in a different part of the family (and isn't played by David Selby), Chao-li Chi (Chao-li in the series) is addressed differently in this show, Chase and Maggie are played by Clu Gulager and Samantha Eggar, but the other major characters are played by the same actors as in the series.

Cheers, Ms. Wyman...your vintage was rare and a great varietal...

Some may not be aware that Jane Wyman was Ronald Reagan's first wife. After Reagan became president she never said a word about him, even when a reporter asked if she voted for him.
