Hello Becky, To be more precise, The Thorn Birds: the Missing Years was a 1996 CBS miniseries, and the name of the actress is Amanda Donohoe, not Donahue.

I know that one includes the son's drowning and Chamberain's death and I never saw this one.

The disc we have ends with Richard Chamberlain leaving in a train with Amanda Donahue watching him leave. However, a patron says that there are additional scenes, the Donahue's characters children leaving home, the son drowns, Chamberlain discovers that the son is his son(sorry!). Chamberlain returns, and dies in Australia. Is there a way to find out if there is a disc for this title with this ending chapter, or does it end as we have it?

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
