Never saw him but it seems John Fitzpatrick Willis #1 had more charisma.

He did but was gone in a flash. More handsome but in a bad boy way. Much younger. Not sure of the timing but he seemed to disappear after Russ Matthews beat the crap out of him.

It wasn't long after that Russom was a contrite Willis asking Mack for a job, which he got for a time.

John appeared several times in the Ariana Munker clips (I guess they are gone now). He was definitely more of a standout.

Ariana Munker's clips are still up.

May 15 1965 A Typical Teenager Is Jackie

New York—Jacqueline Courtney may play one of the featured roles on a top-rated daytime television show with considerable assurance and aplomb, but off-camera she has all the same typical reactions to the problems, frustrations, and hopes as any average American teenager. Jackie, 18, who regularly appears in the role of Alice Matthews on Another World (weekdays, 3-3:30 p.m. NBC-TV and Channel 40) has a nightly curfew, hates vegetables, wants her own telephone, wishes she'd be permitted free use of her new sportscar, and just "loves" rock-n-roll music.

The blonde, , bine-eyed actress who entered showbusiness at the age of four, is under strict instructions from her mother to be home by 12:30 a. m. — and that includes Saturday nights. And just to be sure that Jackie keeps to this schedule, her mother has not given Jackie a key to the house. But Jackie is not at all bitter about the restrictions placed upon her at home. As she puts it: "I know my parents only want what is best for me, but what they can't understand — as most parents cannot — is that their little 'baby' has grown up."

LIKE SOME teenagers, Jackie has a problem. Although she has her own room, she has been unsuccessful in her arguments for a private phone. She confides that she has even enlisted the services of Doris Quinlan, producer of Another World, to help convince her mother that a phone is needed, but to no avail. Jackie's the proud owner of a brand new, white sportscar, but is prohibited from driving further than her own neighborhood in East Orange, N. J. "For me, that's a tough situation," she says, "because I love to really move in a car, and that's hard to do when you can only drive in a radius of a few blocks."

When it comes to music, Jackie is "just nuts" about the Beatles, and has all their records at home. One of her greatest amibitions is to meet Paul McCartney of the group. She also likes the Dave Clark Five and Herman's Hermits. Jackie has a boyfriend who lives in nearby South Orange, but she's quick to add that "he's not at all impressed" by her featured role on Another World. Although she doesn't contemplate marriage within the next five years, Jackie says that when she does take the plunge, she'll quit showbusiness. "As the saying goes," she points out,"a woman's place is at home —not in a TV studio."

ALTHOUGH she's in many ways similar to the average teenager, Jackie's life has one big difference. As a featured actress on Another World, she must work a 10-hour day — beginning with rehearsal at 10:00 in the morning, and ending with rehearsal for the next day's show at 6:30 p. m. On top of that, Jackie spends two nights a week working for a degree in psychology at Upsala College. In the few extra moments of spare time she can find, Jackie loves to ride horseback and go out dancing. She's also an avid football and basketball fan. Jackie's professional career dates back to 1951, when she appeared on The Story Hour over WAAT in Newark. She recalls that in her stage debut she appeared as the Good Ship Lollypop, singing and dancing in a candy-cane costume. She also recalls that at the time she was literally covered with curls — "I hated them, but my mom felt I should look like Shirley Temple, and look like Shirley Temple I did until I got to the fifth grade."

Thanks @Paul Raven that was a fun article - Jacquie seemed so mature through her AW and OLTL runs sometimes I forget viewers watched her grow up.

@vetsoapfan You may enjoy the interview too.

Thanks to @Paul Raven for uploading the interview, and to @DRW50 for notifying me personally about it.

I'm a well-known Jacquie Courtney fan, and enjoyed the piece a lot. I love how "new," previously unseen vintage material keeps showing up.
