My daughter is a freshman in college and my son is - well, our daughter and our son - is a sophomore in college. So they come home on selected weekends, they come home on vacations and they're home in the summer, although they have jobs.
Fame an fortune are nothing if you're not happy and healthy.
I might be doing a lot more theater, which is kind of what I love, but there's simply no time for.
I haven't been on the stage in a long time.

Oh, God, I would love to go and do a play someplace.

The worst storyline Ive ever been involved in I wasnt involved in, because I was clever enough to get pregnant with my second child and they wrote me out and they replaced me with Christine Jones. And thank God - that was the worst storyline.
Daytime has been successful all these years because it caters to a very real need in the audience – to see something that’s not nighttime fantasy. People watch daytime because it’s like their lives.
I have this personal affinity for the desert. I am fascinated by the desert. I love it.
I was actually very pleased that they let me do it, because I feel very deeply for breast cancer survivors. I don't have it, but it is in my family. I've always been very aware of it. I go for mammograms and checkups.
