Members amybrickwallace Posted October 27, 2020 Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 I actually sent her a message to be sure. Here's what the Suzanne on FB said: "I’m afraid I did not play Betsy, but how nice of you to write! As it turns out, my cousin did direct ATWT, Heather Hill, so I do have some connection. Wishing you well, as well, warm regards, Suzanne" I guess mystery solved! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted October 27, 2020 Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 Denton was also embroiled in quite a scandal at the time as she hooked up with the much older Don Imus. The longtime ATWT fans in New Jersey were aghast that the new Betsy was involved with the controversial radio personality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted October 27, 2020 Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 I had not heard that. He would not be my first choice for a partner. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members robbwolff Posted October 27, 2020 Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 It was quite a scandal! It was all over the New Jersey radio stations at the time. She was on his show for a while, too. Here's a photo of Lisa and Imus with Tom Ligon on Loving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 27, 2020 Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 Ironically, he spent several years here in Cleveland before moving on to NYC in 1971. The headline in the Plain Dealer, which was and still is the major paper here said, "Garbage Mouth Goes to Gotham"!!

Members Bill Bauer Posted October 27, 2020 Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thank you for going the extra mile and how nice of her to write back! That mystery solved but I'm afraid the mystery of whatever happened to the Suzanne Davidson who played Betsy may forever remain a mystery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted October 28, 2020 Members Share Posted October 28, 2020 He must have liked soaps because he also played himself as a Hope Memorial Hospital patient on TD in 1974. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted October 29, 2020 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 That man on the left does not even resemble Tom Ligon in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted October 29, 2020 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 I wish that child actresses Judy Safarin (Lisa) and Diane Dell (Lisa) from The Secret Storm could be located. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted October 31, 2020 Members Share Posted October 31, 2020 Well, it’s definitely him. The photo was one of dozens on him on Getty Images, including color photos of him with Lisa Denton and other Loving cast members like James Kiberd and Bryan Cranston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted November 1, 2020 Members Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) It was easy for me to identify him as Ligon. Edited November 1, 2020 by vetsoapfan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted December 8, 2020 Author Members Share Posted December 8, 2020 Two very good child actors who appeared on soap operas are ones that I have failed to mentioned: Timmy Michaels (All My Children) and Frankie Michael (As the World Turns). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
