I just learned that Wayne Greenhaw wrote Hidden Faces (along with the show's creator, Irving Vendig). from the Encyclopedia of Alabama: Wayne Greenhaw Barry M. Cole, University of Montevallo Writer and poet Wayne Greenhaw (1940-2011) produced a broad spectrum of fiction and nonfiction books, two plays, poetry, travel guides, and scripts for film and television. Greenhaw's writing reflects strong advocacy of the civil rights movement, expressed vividly through personal reflections. As a journalist in the 1960s, Greenhaw directly witnessed the civil rights movement as it unfolded through his personal association with movement leader E. D. Nixon during the Selma to Montgomery March. Since that time, many of his works have focused on civil rights. Greenhaw's writing is not limited to any one style or genre, although he has named Harper Lee as his primary influence, as well as individuals he met during the civil rights movement. Wayne Greenhaw in Montgomery Harold Wayne Greenhaw was born in Sheffield, Colbert County, into a troubled family; he grew up in Trussville and Tuscaloosa. Greenhaw contracted polio as an infant, causing health problems, including a curvature of the spine, that persisted through his teen years. At the age of 14, he underwent major surgery to correct his spine and was confined to a body cast for six months. During that time, he read extensively and learned to love literature. After graduating from high school in Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa County, Greenhaw moved to Mexico at the age of 18 to study creative writing at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende in the summer of 1959. He returned to Tuscaloosa and entered the University of Alabama to study writing under English professor Hudson Strode. In 1958, Greenhaw gained part-time employment as a sports reporter for the Tuscaloosa News. He served as sports columnist for the Graphics Weekly from 1963 to 1964 and worked as a writer assigned to an educational project at Draper Correctional Center from 1964 to 1965. He then took a position as a general assignment reporter for the Alabama Journal newspaper in 1965 and completed a B.S. in education at the University of Alabama in 1966. His first novel, The Golfer, was published shortly thereafter in 1967. In 1971, Greenhaw published an article on the My Lai massacre (the mass murder of Vietnamese civilians by members of the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War) that earned him a Nieman Fellowship to study journalism at Harvard University in 1972. He became Jimmy Carter's press secretary in Alabama during the 1976 presidential campaign. That same year, Greenhaw penned an editorial in the New York Times exposing Alabamian white supremacist Asa Carter as the author of The Education of Little Tree, a supposed biography that Carter had written under the pseudonym Forrest Carter. In 1982, he published Elephant in the Cotton Fields: Ronald Reagan and the New Republican South and two years later published Flying High: Inside Big-Time Drug Smuggling. From 1984 to 1988, he was editor and publisher of Alabama Magazine. Several of Greenhaw's books center on the state of Alabama and Montgomery in particular. Examples include Alabama on My Mind: Politics, People, History, and Ghost Stories (1988), Montgomery: Center Stage in the South: A Contemporary Portrait (1990) and Montgomery: The Biography of a City (1994). In 1993, Gov. Jim Folsom appointed Greenhaw as director of the Alabama Bureau of Tourism (now the Alabama Tourism Department). In 1995, Pres. Bill Clinton appointed him as a representative to the White House Conference on Travel and Tourism. That same year, the Southeast Tourism Society named Greenhaw Travel Writer of the Year. Greenhaw continued to write, publishing Alabama: Portrait of a State in 1998 Fighting the Devil in Dixie and Beyond the Night: A Remembrance the following year. The latter work is a poignant telling of a young boy's near-death experience. In 2000, Greenhaw was appointed to the board of directors of the Alabama Humanities Foundation by Gov. Don Siegelman. In 2006, he co-authored with Donnie Williams The Thunder of Angels, which details the struggle for racial equality in Alabama. His writing was augmented by frequent lectures and seminars. Greenhaw was the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the Harper Lee Award from the Alabama Writers Conclave and the Hackney Literary Award from Birmingham-Southern College. Greenhaw published several hundred articles in publications ranging from Reader's Digest to Music City News. Residing in both Alabama and Mexico, he produced works in English and Spanish and found common ground in both places in his writing. Greenhaw died on May 31, 2011, in Birmingham from complications related to heart surgery. Selected Works by Wayne Greenhaw The Golfer (1967) "Is Forrest Carter Really Asa Carter?

For many years, I have wondered if Irving Vendig had written this show by himself or if he had another writer. I had even asked Louise Shaffer (who had replied that she never looked at the name of the writer that early in her career). Tonight, I have learned that Wayne Greenhaw also wrote the show with Mr. Vendig. from the Encyclopedia of Alabama: Wayne Greenhaw Barry M.

It was during the absence of Ms. Slezak that Victoria and Ted were having most of their scenes. (I preferred Keith Charles in the role. I like Mark Goddard, but I preferred him on The Doctors).

Ms. Jones substituted for Ms. Slezak during her maternity leave. I am unable to tell you the specific length, but it seemed to be several months. I missed the Judith Barcroft appearance on One Life to Live. It was probably less that three days, I would imagine.

The imposter who pretended to be the step-father came to Llanview, as I remember, to get control of Tina (and, consequently, her inheritance from Irene). He and Victoria became attracted to one another, and he hoped to marry her before the truth was revealed. I don't remember drugs being involved, but my memory may be hazy.

Gordon Rigsby and Jada Rowland had worked together on The Secret Storm when they played Ian #1 and Amy #1.

I think that the attraction of Billy's character compared to Andrew's character can be attributed to the charisma of the two actors. They are both good actors, but Ryan Phillipe had more charisma.

I do not think that is David Rasche.

I never cared for the work of Douglas Marland (the most over-appreciated writer on any of the soap operas), Margaret DePriest, or Jerome and Bridget Pollock. I do recognize Ms. DePriest as having created Where the Heart Is, but much of that may have been the work of the late Lou Schofield. Her other work on soap operas were not all that lengthy. She is either under appreciated or not all that talented.

I was going to request James O'Sullivan.

May I add that David Snell was also a writer for Edge of Night? Two requests: Norman Parker and Herb Downer.

The show nearly replaced Ms. Warrick in the role of Phoebe with actress Halia Stoddard.

Actress Elizabeth Hubbard did appear on One Life to Live earlier.

I am in the minority, but I feel that Mr. and Mrs. Dobson ruined The Guiding LIght. (I wonder if they had been hired by Luci Rittenburg Feri to write this show? I suspect that they were not.) Too many new characters were introduced at one time. Also (and I could be wrong), weren't they the writers who killed off the show's major character Leslie?

In the Dick Cavett clip above, Jack Wood is mentioned. I don't know much about him. Does anyone the can share information post about him?

My understanding during the years was that actor Don Blakely had created the role of Frank. Lisa Wilkinson left the role of Nancy and was replaced briefly by Avis McArter. (Avis McArter had earlier played a role on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing.) Lisa Wilkinson learned that Nancy was expecting a baby, then she learned in real life that she and husband John Danielle were expecting in real life.

No, I forgot to mention Loving, but I was thinking about the Debbi Morgan character as I was posting. I don't think there were any African-Amerians in the premiere cast. John Daniele and Louise Stubbs were later added.

Just to be thorough, All My Children did have an African-American character in its original cast. Hilda Haynes played nurse Lois Sloan. I never saw her, but I understand that she was Ruth's good friend and confidant during her marriage (or part of it) to Ted. She may have also done some protesting with Amy's group. I think that all the new ABC soap operas after the introduction of One Life to Live featured African-American characters. (All My Children, The Best of Everyting, A World Apart, Ryan's Hope, etc.). ABC's final soap opera which was MOSTLY white was Dark Shadows, and even that show featured at least two African-American characters for brief times.

I think that he left the show three different times.

She is a beauty! You should see her in the movie Take a Giant Step! She plays a party girl type and is stunning!

Yes, that is Carla. Carla, Wanda, and Vinnie #3 were all on these episodes. (not sure about Ed) Also on these episodes were Mick (one of my favorite characters on the show), Johnny, Tina, and Samantha. I remember that Tina was trying to get Mick in a compromising position (at a bribe from Asa) in order to break up Mick and Samantha and to leave Samantha to Asa. Brad, however, was wise to what Tina was doing. Jeffrey's uncle was introduced into the show on the next-to-the-last or the last episode. Some mention was made of the uncle's sister and the mother of Jeffrey.

to DramatistDreamer : I thought that Jeffrey was the son of Allison Perkins.

Olivia and Drucilla are two that I do not remember. I think that Frankie Faison did appear on One LIfe to Live. He was also on The Edge of Night.

On All My Children introduced Opal's biracial child, the father was shown. I was hoping that the mother or the grandmother would be shown and Ellen Holly would play his relative. She could have also played the grandmother of Reggie who comes to Pine Valley to milk the Montgomery family for money. I have no idea who Lillie Belle Barber is.

According to the Wikipedia, the O'Neill family (all except Pete) was introduced by Sam Hall and Peggy O'Shea. Pete was introduced solely by Peggy O'Shea. Mr. and Mrs. Corrington were there for such a short time, I am not sure if they introduced any character (except maybe Alex Crown/Coronel and Rob).
