Of the portraits of prominent characters that were featured on the show, the portrait of Josette duPres Collins is the only one that does not bear the likeness of the actress who portrayed her, Kathryn Leigh Scott. This is due to the fact that in her early appearances as a ghost, Josette was covered in a veil. Since Ms. Scott volunteered to portray the character uncredited as she was already playing Maggie Evans, it was not a big deal since the veil covered her face and she was shown from a far enough distance, thus the television audience would not be able to tell it was her. When Barnabas Collins was introduced and, ultimately, the 1795 storyline was established, the character and background of Josette duPres Collins were more fleshed out, it was decided that Maggie Evans beared a striking resemblance to Josette, ultimately leading Ms. Scott continue to play the role. Hence the discrepancy of likeness between the actress and the portrait.
