There are epic TVscenes, and then there are epicTVscenes.
In the latter category, we takeyou back to the memorable lily pond catfight on '80s soapDynasty.It's a classic piece of over-the-top drama-some might call it cheese-which has stood the test of time.
For those who weren't sentient in the 1980s or were busy watching sitcoms, the conniving Alexis (Joan Collins) finally goes too far, prompting the long-suffering Krystal (Linda Evans) to call her a miserable b$%@, while lunging at her and toppling them both into the water, where hair pulling, punching, splashing, kicking, and scratching ensue. Relive it here:
Now you can re-enact the scandalous scene on a daily basis in the very same lily pond. It, along with its accompanyinggreat estate known as Arden Villa, is now available for a mere $25 million. And there's no need to fight overit.
While Dynasty was set in Denver, much of it was filmedin Pasadena, CA,with many of the exteriors shot at the famous (or infamous, as the listing calls it) Arden Villa, where many otherTV shows and movies over the decades were filmed.
