[All My Shadows]

Unfortunately, I'm one of the many younger soap fans who have never had the opportunity to have the authentic Beverlee McKinsey experience. But, almost immediately after I become obsessed with daytime drama and its history, I was taught to respect Beverlee McKinsey and to appreciate Beverlee McKinsey. Even if I went my entire life without seeing a single scene of hers, I still had to acknowledge her genius and her ability to make soap opera the highly dignified, completely respected genre it was in its heyday.

She was and will always be *the* soap opera actress. A legend, a class act, a true acting genius. RIP.

Ladies and gentlemen of daytime, behold the MASTER of the genre at work.
