ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?

[Xanthe]

Watching the Netflix series The Residence and did not recognize Julian McMahon (Ian Rain on Another World) as the Australian Prime Minister until I looked him up.

[j swift]

His father, Sir William McMahon, served as the 20th Prime Minister of Australia from 1971 to 1972

EDIT: to add some very funny parts of his wiki

McMahon has been described as one of Australia's worst prime ministers by Australian political scientists and historians, and after leaving office several of his former colleagues openly criticized his leadership style and personal character

Throughout his life, there were also frequent rumors that he was homosexual. The suggestion was repeatedly denied by Lady McMahon; one occasion in the 1970s resulted in an infamous tabloid headline, "My Billy's No Poofter – Sonia Tells".

I had forgotten that. Didn't Julian also keep company with Dannii Minogue? (Kylie is also in The Residence as herself.)

[Liberty City]

They were married from 1994 to 1995.

Billy Magnussen is in the live action Lilo & Stitch.

It's still so wild to see Jake Weary all grown up when I still remember when his mom was pregnant with him (on GL, and IRL).

[kalbir]

That's right, Kim Zimmer was pregnant with Jake Weary when Reva was pregnant with Shayne. 

I don't think I've seen a photo of Mr. Weary, but from what I can tell Jake looks so much like his mother.

Forgive me because this stretches the topic a bit, but I cannot stop thinking about this line in Barbara Rush's (aka AMC Tad's doppelgänger's Ted's mother Nola Orsini & Flamingo Road's Eudora Weldon) wiki bio.

The quote comes from an article about Rush's daughter Claudia Cowen who is a reporter for Fox News.  Rush's ex-husband was one of the biggest publicists in Hollywood.  And, she had a famous house in Bel Air.  But, I want to know how at 70 years old, she wound up at the Lloyd Estate, which is huge, and had been owned by Ron Burkle and Ted Field.  The house was worth 60 million dollars in 2001.  But, I cannot find the story of why/when/how she lived there, because whenever she gets asked about it, she always says that she was “staying” there, not that she bought it.

BTW, for those that may not know.  Her ex-husband, Warren Cowen, wound up marrying the mother of Sarah Gilbert (Roseanne & The Talk), as well as her half-siblings Melisa and Jonathan Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie).  So, Ms. Rush did not get her money from him, because she got remarried to a sculptor of minimal reknown, and they divorced in 1973.

Ms. Rush died last year with dementia.

I feel a little bit similar about Ben Schnetzer since I remember so clearly when he was born. But obviously not quite the same since it was not his mother onscreen.

Dannii said an AW actress broke up her marriage.  Wonder which one?

Wonder if any of the Beyond the Gates people were asked. Admittedly, the show hasn't been on long enough for any of those actors to get much interest.

I was going to put this Lisa Brenner interview in the AW thread but I'm not sure she says much about AW in it. I admittedly skipped around a lot as the interviewer's style annoyed me.
