and for the lifelong relationship with all the fans! Massive shout out to the daytime fans who continue to support me in my projects. I will always be grateful for the experience …. Because of your support my life was richer, broader, more interesting. Thank you ABC and all the producers and writers who supported me and my work.

My child who died but who I so grateful to have known. Who read me poems and took me to museums. ‘She who drove me nuts’ but impressed on me the importance of having art in ones life. And most importantly, I was able to take care of my wild but wonderful mother. Knight, James Patrick Stewart, Jill Larson, Penny Bergman, Julia Barr, Lonnie Quinn and many others both in front of and behind the scenes.

I made some lifelong friends like Michael E. I was nominated three times and won my first Emmy. It allowed me to do a lot of Off-Broadway theater and roles in five Indie films while working my day job. I saw many great shows (both American and International) that came to NYC, which opened my eyes to what performance could be. And thanks to the work I was able to afford some art school and college as well. The makeup artists as much mom’s as my own mom to me at times.

For many years this show and the people on it were like family to me. Then I did the internet version for six weeks and then… the show was done. Then I came back for a year in 2006, then for a couple months in 2012.

I was back in the fall of 1997 again under contract and worked through 2001. Today I am celebrating the 50th Anniversary of “All My Children”! I started on the show when I had just turned 19 in the fall of 1988.
