This is why she traveled to work by helicopter, I guess...

I see we both made a helicopter joke on different forums almost simultaneously. Respect.

[Michael]

It had to be done.

helicopter? WTF?

Supposedly one of the only ways she would agree to be in AW in its last few years was if they paid to fly her in via helicopter.

So bad lol, I thought about it but didn't go there. Although I liked her (and her Marley was quite good too) I never understood how Buchanan became a star diva of the show, even more so than Linda Dano and Victoria Wyndham. Judi Evans Luciano is even a bigger daytime name than Buchanan ever has been! 

 

I also didn't realize she has zero acting credits between a guest appearance on Everwood in 2002 and Y&R in 2015. I know breaking contracts can make someone persona non grata(think Kim Basinger) but I had at least figured maybe she had some sort of career between the chaos behind her leaving ATWT and P&G even if I really hadn't seen her since. I just had been to lazy to actually look it up until now.

I think she married into wealth and has been pretty much retired til doing the Y&R bit, probably for Jill.

Yep. I think she was living in Vermont by then with her (then) husband. It's her current husband who's wealthy.

Such irresponsible behavior on her part. I hope the other driver is doing okay.

I never understood it either.  The actresses you mentioned were all bigger names in soaps, and played their roles so amazingly.  I thought she got that head spot because she was pretty in a slinky sort of way, and I think towards the end they thought her looks were a big appeal.  I'm biased about her because Anne Heche was the Vicky/Marley to me.

JB divorced the wealthy husband a while ago, or he divorced her.  I figured that's why she returned to acting after so many years away.
