Sometimes a fan's dreams of daytime can come true. They have for New York hair stylist Jim Nelson, an avid viewer of All My Children for more than 12 years, Last winter, Nelson had a friend get him in to see a rehearsal of the show. By day's end, he had been hired as the soap's new hairdresser. "I couldn't believe it," he says. "I had just wanted to meet Susan Lucci." Ah, but there's more. Nelson is also something of a songwriter. And backstage one day recently, he was playing a tape of one of his compositions. The show's musical director heard it, liked it—and picked the song as the love ballad for Tad and Hillary. “This whole thing has been a dream come true,’ says Nelson. “It is possible for a fan to get in there. I feel like one of the family. It's not even like going to work.”
