Gawd, it seems so great! A daytime soap set around young women in the publishing business...it just REEKS of soap! I'd love to create a cable channel and make new versions of short-lived soaps. I'd start with "The Best of Everything" and "Bright Promise."

I agree. What a great concept. Maybe it was a little ahead of its time.

I hate being the correction b!tch, but with you I'm pretty sure you'll appreciate it.

Maureen O'Sullivan was Mia's mom. (and actually appeared in Hannah and Her Sisters with her)

You are right. I always get the two confused in my Hollywood trivia. Geraldine Fitzgerald was a great English actress too. She was a classmate of Vivien Leigh and lifelong friend of Maureen O'Sullivan and Mia Farrow referred to her as aunt many times.

Fitzgerald was the mother of director Michael Lindsay Hogg who has done a lot of TV movies.

Fitzgerald was an Oscar nominee too. Soaps were big in the mid to late 60's at getting the movie performers from the 40s and 50s to come to daytime.

Ann Sheridan came to Another World; Anne Revere came to several soaps including Search For Tomorrow and was heavily promoted there; Dana Andrews to Bright Promise; Macdonald Carey to Days of Our Lives; Hugh Marlowe to Another World; Diana Douglas, mother of Michael Douglas starred on Love Is A Many Splendored Thing; Geraldine Fitzgerald & Gale Sondergard to The Best of Everything - just to name a few.

Ooohhhhh.......down one spot thanks to DruRock's rapid fire posting machine (patent pending).

Would it be fair to include Constance Ford and Ruth Warrick among them? I know they both did film but neither was as well known for it (as far as I can tell) as the likes of Geraldine Fitzgerald, Dana Andrews and Gale Sondergard.

Yes it would be fair. I excluded both because basically Ford had been in soaps from 1954 on. She came to soaps early just like former starlet Mary Stuart.

And Ruth Warrick was basically returning to soaps after already making a splash in them in 1950's on both The Guiding Light and As The World Turns.

Thank you for the explanation.
