Liberace was a soap fan. Somehow, that does not surprise me. LOL. I remember he made a couple appearances on Another World.

When he tweeted about Greg and Jenny it made me love him so much more.

Bette Davis watched Another World. She even wrote some actor a letter about how great his perfomance was, I forget who exactly though.

And 50 Cent has said that he loved Peggy Mitchell on EastEnders.

Then there is, of course, Snoop Dogg.

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.

Gloria Gifford, known to horror movie fans as Mrs. Alves in Halloween II, is a huge GH fan.

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.

Lena Horne was Search for Tomorrow fan.

Roseanne, like me, loved OLTL and GH:

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.

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.

Sally Field watches the soaps? Why does that not surprise me? Oh, yeah...

For some reason, I see Dolly Parton being more of a GUIDING LIGHT fan, like Dale and Roy Rogers.

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.

Jimmy Carter's mom Miss Lillian was a big AMC fan and met with Ruth Warrick at some stage.

Thurgood Marshall watched DAYS, and Julia Roberts is probably their most famous fan.

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?

Sally Field watches the soaps? Why does that not surprise me? Oh, yeah...

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:

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...
