Susan Lucci posted a pic from the memorial service.  Jesse and Jenny!  Is that blonde lady Lorraine Broderick?  Looks like she lost weight and went blond.

 

 

 

Right, that is Lorraine Broderick, longtime AMC headwriter & Nixon's protege. Also like you mentioned, Darnell Williams and Kim Delaney from the left. The next two women, I don't recognize (EDIT: On second look, the one on the left might be Jean Passanante.). Then Broderick, former AMC producer Ginger Smith, Lucci, I *think* that's former Associate Headwriter Fred Johnson, then former EP / actress / director Francesca James.

Lorraine Broderick lost alot of weight. She looks great. Would love to see her head writing a soap.

Btw does Francesca James ever age at all?

Yeah it was posted above ;):)

You know? I had it in mind that someone else could very well have already posted this--oops, my bad.

I've come to realize that I've truly lost track of this thread.

Along with Irna Phillips and William J. Bell, she was (IMHO) among the Top Three most important writers in soap opera history.

 

How sad to know that all the greats have either passed away or retired from daytime. Nixon, Phillips, Bell, Lemay, Slesar, Falken Smith, Labine, Winsor. Those of us who were fortunate enough to witness their work did not even know at the time how good we had it; how lucky we were! 

 

Thank you for the memories, Agnes Nixon et al!

 

Geez! I'm actually getting verklempt!
