Kate McNeil(Augusta) plays similar character years later on Quantum Leap
Today the Sci Fi Channel was showing old episodes of Quantum Leap. Sam leaps into his own great-grandfather during the Civil War. Kate McNeil plays a southern woman whose husband has been killed and lives on her farm with a slave who helps her. She hides Sam at her farm, he is a Union soldier. She ends up being Sam's great-grandmother. Anyway, I thought it was really strange that she would play a character so similar to Augusta Barclay in North and South Part II. Couldn't be a coincidence, the directors must have seen her in this part when they hired her for the show.
