Soap Hoppers --The Soap Actors And Roles Thread

[Wendy]

No need to add, but Steven Weber was also on the final season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent as Ben Langston, a wealthy pharmaceutical rep/philanthropist who got killed a few minutes into the episode ("Cadaver", S10 in 2011) after being switched with an embalmed corpse (yes - dude was donated to science or something!).

I only mention it because I had to admit, the corpse angle was certainly different/memorable! LOL!

Betty Arnold

She played Elizabeth Schultz on Today's Children (1944). She also played Margaret Dawson on Guiding Light (1943-1944)(her role as Iris, aka, Miss Nobody, started in 1939). Played Adele Corliss on Road of Life (1944); Mary Lou Woodridge on Ma Perkins (1941); Rose LaGatto on Bachelor's Children (1941); Ruth Kingsley on Backstage Wife (1943 or earlier); Ann Stevens on The Affairs of Rex Stevens (1936); Pansy Crawford on Headline Heroes (1938); and Rita Hatterfield on The Mad Hatterfields (1938-1939). Unknown roles (1938 or earlier) on Famous Jury Trials; Court of Human Relations; True Detective Stories; and The Life of Mary Southern. TV roles on Hawkins Falls and Those Endearing Young Charms (as Abby Charm).

Betty's husband worked for the ad agency that created the Marlboro Man, and was involved in its creation. They had moved to Virginia by 1979. Might need a zoom to read this one.

Here she is on the right, when she lived in Illinois in 1965.

@jam6242 also let me know that this Betty Arnold was not the mother of Michael Reagen, though she had a son named Michael as well.

 

and...

Robert Haag

He also played Bill Roberts on Rosemary starting in 1950.
