child performers of the soap operas

[danfling]

This afternoon, I stumbled onto an episode of Silver Spoons.  In the cast in a rather prominent role was actor Brian Lima (Little Phillip/Charlie #2 on All My Children).     I had not known that he had done any acting after his role on All My Children.

One very good child actress who appeared on Search for Tomorrow was Stacey Glick!

 

She played Andy O'Neil on Search for Tomorrow.   After the character of Keith O'Neil (Craig Augestine) and new wife Jenny Deacon (Linda Gibboney) were written off the show, Andy began living with Stephanie (Marie Cheatam).  They had a relationship that was not usual for an adult and a child on the soap operas.   Then, suddenly, Andy was written off the show.  I suppose that one of the many producers or maybe writers decided to move the show in another direction.   (Soon after, Louise Shaffer became the new Stephanie.)

I found this information about Ms. Glick today on the internet:

Stacey Kendall Glick, Vice President, joined DG&B in 1999 after working in film and television development for five years. Following a number of internships in the entertainment business, her first job after college was at PolyGram Filmed Entertainment, where she looked for book projects to be adapted into feature films. Next, she worked as a story editor at Hearst Entertainment, where she scouted material for television movies. Stacey grew up just outside of Manhattan and is a former child actress who appeared on television, on stage, and in feature films. She now lives in New Jersey with her husband, four daughters (the youngest are identical twins) and two dogs, and enjoys cooking and baking, food and wine of all varieties, taking pictures, shopping, theater, going to Mets games and eating cheese, chocolate and spicy tuna hand rolls (not necessarily in that order) when she can find the time. She has a wide-ranging and eclectic client list, a consistent theme of which is to help people live better and happier lives. She is interested in many subjects, on the adult side: practical and narrative nonfiction across categories including (but not limited to) cooking and food, memoir, psychology, mental health and wellness, lifestyle, women’s issues, parenting, current events, pop culture and science, and select adult contemporary fiction. And on the children’s side: YA, middle grade, nonfiction, and select picture books. Stacey is a member of the AAR, Women’s Media Group, and is a former council member of the Rutgers University Council on Children’s Literature (RUCCL.org).

Stacey says...

My illustrious career in the arts began as a small child acting in television, theater and feature films. I always knew I’d wind up doing something creative, and also knew early on that it would involve dealing with people.

When I arrived at what was then JDLM in 1999, I was quickly able to incorporate the skills learned from my time working in film and television development into agenting, an area in publishing that had always intrigued me. I’ve grown to love the creative process of working with authors, developing ideas, and selling books to publishers. Seeing a project through from its inception is an incredibly rewarding experience.

My tastes are diverse and include nonfiction across the board, especially cookbooks and subjects related to the culinary world. I also retain an avid interest in psychology, and dabble in pop culture, current events, business, narrative nonfiction, and anything that offers a fresh or unique approach to an existing subject. Fiction is much more subjective and instinctual, and I enjoy reading stories that range in style and scope. Genre isn’t as important as finding a compelling story that is well told.

I feel very fortunate that I’ve finally found the perfect outlet for my creative instincts and notorious “gift of gab.”

Excuse me for forgetting this name, but what was the name of the actress who played the daughter of John Gabrielle on Loving?  I also forgot the name of the character.
