From Soapnet.com:

Agnes Nixon, the creator of "All My Children," "One Life to Live" and "Loving"/"The City" – not to mention a former head writer of "Guiding Light," "Search for Tomorrow" and "Another World" and writer for "As The World Turns"—has just launched her own website! And it's awesome! At AgnesNixon.com, you can learn more about Agnes' life and career, get a timeline of her work, watch videos with some classic clips and interviews with Agnes. Best of all, you can check out TONS of photos, many of them from Agnes' personal collection. There's also a section where you can submit questions to Agnes, and she will periodically answer on the site.

You can visit the site here:

I want her to stream Loving/City on her website, especially since she has ownership of it and SOAPnet doesn't care about classics.

Really? You liked Loving?

I watched it forever, but could never love it...not for a minute. And I tried. And when Roya Megnot (RIP) took over the show as Ava, I was OUTTA THERE!

I've always been curious about Loving, so I'm hoping there's more videos to come.

More a CITY fan than anything.

FABULOUS work, Agnes and co.! FABULOUS. I can't rave enough. I flove that she cares enough to do something like this. Really, really great.

Those two B/W haven't been seen at all since they originally aired, I believe. They weren't on DTR or the I Love Lucci marathon. Also, the opening on them, was that the "original" version of the original opening? Or is that just a recreation?

I wish I could get them to play in fullscreen...

ETA: There was an OLTL crossover with AMC in its first year? OLTL's Eileen is visiting Kate and Tara in #41.

I echo your sentiments about not being able to rave enough!

I think that must be the original opening since its on the kinescopes.

I've only watched the 1st lost episode so far and I'm impressed with how technologically advanced AMC was back then utilizing split screens and as someone else mentioned Amy's creepy nightmare.

I have to ask Agnes what she thinks of the current state of her baby!

For the record, that was indeed the original opening, my mom was at home with my newborn brother when AMC debuted. Plus I remember them talking about it on A Daytime to Remember, they were saying how it's a mystery/been long forgotten whose hand that was.

Rosemary Prinz was bigger than Susan Lucci in her day and she headlined AMC as a favor to Agnes Nixon (Prinz's daytime celebrity was to be a huge draw to the show), she never intended to stay with the show long.

Maybe it's their beauty marks, but Prinz always makes me think of Robin Strasser. They did a TV movie together back in the day, she'd be fun in a guest role as Dorian's maternal aunt.

No ONE LIFE TO LIVE? I'm not the least bit interested. [!@#$%^&*] YOU AGNES

I thought it was...I knew the original opening had Rosemary Prinz listed as a 'special guest star' and everything, but what threw me off is some of the flower designs around the words 'All My Children' looked a little different.

It is so great to see what some of the current soaps were like around the time they first came onto the air. I only wish they would show a couple of OLTL's episodes as well (if she still has any of them like she does AMC).

And wasn't it Nixon's hand that opened the book?

From Prinz's Wikipedia page:

Over the years, rumors surfaced that Prinz had been pushed to many nervous breakdowns due to the constant criticisms that she endured from As the World Turns creator Irna Phillips. When she left the show in 1968, Prinz said she would never return to soap operas again. However, she was lured back, but only for a limited engagement each time. Her first return was to play the role of Amy Tyler on All My Children for six months in 1970. Agnes Nixon, who had written for Prinz on ATWT, felt Prinz would be crucial in helping to launch the new series. Prinz agreed, on the condition that her character oppose the Vietnam War, which Prinz herself opposed, and on the condition that she be given above-the-title billing. Prinz was the only AMC performer to date to receive that honor. Prinz was also, until 1990, the only AMC actor to have her photo in the opening credits.

All My Children... Something special on a stick.
