was escorted by her husband, Lee Foley, a former stage director and now in the furniture business. Robert Milli brought his charming wife, the former Mary Jane Mulligan. Stefan Schnabel explained he came alone because his wife had already moved out to their Lake Como, Italy cottage for the summer. Theo Goetz said his wife Rhea didn't come because she has a fear of heights - and the party was being held in on the 40th floor.

Barbara Rodell came with her husband, Cy Epstein. Charita Bauer looked sweet in a lovely blue dress. Elissa Leeds arrived without her mother, and everybody tried to mother her. Nancy Addison showed up with her husband, actor Clinton Dunn. Lynn Deerfield came with husband, Paul Mates.

Darryl Hickman, former actor, now a CBS executive to daytime serials, came to the shindig with his beautiful wife, actress Pamela Lincoln. Melinda Fee drew all eyes when she appeared in an Arabian-style hooded cocoa-brown evening dress. Michael Durrell and his pretty blonde companion, Charlotte Savitz, Guiding Light production assistant, kept busy greeting friends. Don Stewart escorted lovely nurse Sue Tremble, who acted as consultant during recent medical scenes on GL. Michael Zaslow came early and left early because he was then doubling into the Broadway stage musical Fiddler on the Roof. Erik Howell had to leave early, too, because he's also appearing in the musical, The Fantasticks.

Lucy Rittenberg, story editor of GL, and associate with it in various capacities the past 20 years; directors Nick Havings and John Litvack; the bearded, dashing producer, Harry R. Eggart; associate producer Leslie Rosinoff and her husband were very much present, of course.

There was a live orchestra, and plenty of drinks, and a dashing buffet of hot food. The climax was the bringing out of the huge anniversary cake, and brief speeches by executives, emceed by producer Harry Eggart, and then the cutting of the cake while the cast was gathered around the cake table.

The party started at 6 p.m. and was supposed to end at 9, but people lingered for one last drink and the last hug and one last word, and then the final goodbyes: "See you at the 21st anniversary!"

Great to see Irna Phillips in that pic.Interesting that Hickman and Bartholomew both went from child actors to daytime execs.I've never seen a photo of Bartholomew at that age-he looks like he did as a youngster whereas 10 years later he was much heavier.

Sad that so many of those actors have passed away.
