Crystal Gayle appeared on AW a bit later, in early 1987. She was menaced by the Sin Stalker and her week-long role culminated in her singing the new AW theme at Felicia's restaurant, along with her duet partner Gary Morris.

IIRC, Gary Morris also sang on GH for Scotty & Dominique. Shaun Cassidy was famous before appearing on GH, as were Jimmy McNichol, Lois Nettleton, Beverly Garland (on PC). Dame Judith Anderson was on Santa Barbara. Carolyn Jones on Capitol. Richard Roundtree on Generations.

Oh, and how could I forget...after Rosalind Cash's death (herself a familiar face guest starring on tv), GH went all out for Mary Mae's funeral. As it served as a memorial also for Rosalind, several of her real-life friends were part of it. Lou Rawls sang in the choir, Andrae Crouch, Phillip Bailey (Earth, Wind & Fire) along with other gospel singers...I think Bebe Winans among them? Richard Roundtree again. Esther Rolle sat in one of the pews. They were just part of the mourners. They were never acknowledged as celebrities or even had dialogue, for that matter.

Dick just couldn't get enough the soaps, I guess. He appeared at least twice on GL (judging the Sampson Girl contest with James Coco and Tammy Grimes, then interviewing Mindy) and on Texas (as a celebrity guest on the game show Texas Tall Tales). 

and his wife, Carrie Nye, was Susan Piper in 1984 & Carrie in 2003 on GL

Regis Philbin was on Ryan's Hope and All My Children

AMC

 

He performed on Erica’s talk show, The Cutting Edge.

Ru and Erica is an obvious pairing, but now I'm wondering how he'd have interacted opposite, say, Felicia Gallant.

Cabaret legend Bobby Short appeared on ATWT way back in 73.

Richard Simmons on GH over the years. Here’s one from 1981:

 

 

1982:

 

 

2013:

 

 

“Richard Simmons just came out of the closet!”

 

 

Van Johnson, Otto Preminger, Shelley Smith (who ABC was promoting as their next big thing) and Betsy Palmeron Ryans Hope in 1980

Van Johnson, Otto Preminger, Shelley Smith and Betsy Palmer, all dining together at the same restaurant in NYC.  Yeah, that makes sense, RH (and ABC).
