Members MrQuartermaine Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 Liberace was a soap fan. Somehow, that does not surprise me. LOL. I remember he made a couple appearances on Another World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 Bette Davis also sent a note to Lisa Brown from Guiding Light when Nola had a fantasy incorporating Bette's "Now, Voyager" movie. Joan Blondell (30s movie starlet and later stage and tv star) was a Days of Our Lives fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alexisfan07 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 This thread reminded me, which president or Queen or something loved Twin Peaks? No surprise the "Everybody's Got Their Something" ads were as fake as Dirty Soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I read former Texas Gov. John Connelly and his wife Nellie (they were in the car with Kennedy ) were huge soap fans.They said John would schedule all his meetings etc around their shows and watched them till he day he died. I think As The World Turns was mentioned as being one of their favorites. As mentioned above Aretha is a big Y&R fan and has watched since it started. George Jones I read liked As The World Turns. Sally Field said she watches ABC soaps and has all her life. She also said when they break on the set for lunch etc......she will go back to her dressing room and catch them.

Members hendersonite Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Tallulah Bankhead loved The Edge of Night. Pat Nixon watched Search for Tomorrow and once had Larry Haines (Stu) pulled over so she could meet him. Jackie Onassis tuned into Dark Shadows.

Members doolfan Posted December 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would love to know what she thought about the show taping in Peapack. LOL but in all seriousness I seem to remember reading about her watching soaps. My grandma told me she seemed to remember Dolly appearing on One Life or one of the daytime soaps. I've googled it and so far found nothing. It really is sad that there are only four left. Celebrities loved them I mean it really is sad we've lost four of the greatest ones.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thurgood Marshall watched DAYS, and Julia Roberts is probably their most famous fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Seems like the ABC soaps are winning with the celebs, even I am starting to accept that the ABC/Nixon soaps have always been better than the Bell/CBS soaps. I thought I heard somewhere that George Bush loved B&B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think that was part of the reason she took the role in Soapdish. I got the impression from this that Joanne Worley watched OLTL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm watching Sanford and Son right now and Fred is bemoaning having his TV taken away because he won't be able to keep up with Mickey and Laura who just got divorced on Days of our Lives. I wonder if Redd was a soap fan because there were several references made to Fred watching his stories on S&S. I know he wasn't writing the scripts, but I wonder...
