Whatever has happened to this soap opera performer?

I want to inquire about two different actresses.

The first one is the juvenile actress who played the daughter of the late John Gabrielle on Loving.   She must have been a model because during the time that she was on Loving, there was a magazine at the local library which had her on the cover.    I think that she was also on a commercial that I frequently saw.

The second inquiry is about actress Lee Beery.    She played a role on Dark Shadows during the final year.    This character was the sister of Kate Jackson's character in the 1840 storyline.    I have never seen Ms. Beery in any other television or film role.   I do know that her husband is Broadway and record arranger and conductor Jonathan Tunick.     (I first became familiar with Mr. Tunick when he arranged Send in the Clowns for singer Judy Collins.)    He would arrange for the Stephen Sondheim musicals.

I was thinking the other day about actor and singer Rick Ely.    He is best known for his role on the prime times series The Young Rebels.  I remember that he had played a role on Love of Life.

I looked him up, and I learned that he had also played roles on One Life to Live (Steve Pierpoint #1, which I had probably forgotten about since he was later replaced in the role by the actor married to Judith Light) and also on Texas.

I am wondering what he has been doing since leaving his daytime television roles.

Does anyone know anything about actor Derick Evans (Marty Stillwater on The Edge of Night)?   I have not seen or heard about him since that show was cancelled.    (He departed prior to the cancellation.)  I am curious what profession he chose after acting (assuming that he is no longer an actor).

I am wondering about New Orleans native Jennifer Harmon.  She played Chris Kirby on How to Survive a Marriage and Cathy Craig on One Life to Live.    After a long absence from One Life to Live, she returned to that show playing a different character in a day role (as an attorney).

Does anyone know what she has done since she appeared in her second One Life to Live role?

She acted in theater, it seems.  The most recent reference I could find was from September 2018, when she appeared in a play in Maine, directed by Judith Ivey.  This article is from 2007.  She mentions that she was not working for six years because of health issues and had a kidney transplant.

I would like to know about actress Chase Crosley. October 5th Birthdays | 50+ World - 50+ World File:Chase Crosley Patty McCormick Young Doctor Malone 1962.JPG - Wikimedia  Commons  She She 

 

She played the following daytime roles:

Ellen Wilson on NBC's Today Is Ours (1958).

Faye Bannister Koda on NBC's Young Doctor Malone (1962-1963).

Jane Fletcher Hayes #2 on CBS's The Guiding Light (1963-1968).

Eleanor on CBS's The Secret Storm (1968-1969)

She was also a temporary substitute for Billie Watt on CBS's Search for Tomorrow.

According to Imdb, she is a widow and still living.    I wonder what she has been doing since her last acting role.   She appeared in a short film in 1994.

You may have gotten your answer already since it's been 11 months but, if not, she became a holistic practitioner in Bayonne, NJ. The link below is/was her business. Not sure if it's still active as the website looks like it hasn't been updated for about 7 years. Their FB page has a couple of recent(?) posts but is pretty stagnant as well.

    • I didn't wanna "ruin" it for you if Raven hadn't left on her midnight trip to London yet.  But based on where she's going -- and who she'll be staying with -- you can assume there will be some drama when she returns! I believe she even says to Logan or Eliot Dorn before she leaves, "My stepfather, Ansel Scott, always had a 'thing' for me!" lol.

    • Greg and Paige were an interesting choice for a couple.  I do think the lack of focusing on the generational differences hindered their long term potential. I think Laura had learned to keep her feelings close to her vest, especially after the hell she went through in her early years on the show.  The last scene of her trying to keep her tears inside as she drove away was the first time we had seen Laura really express what she was feeling after two or three seasons of her keeping her true self hidden from everyone.. even Greg.
    • I guess my hunch may be right about her. I'm still very split about it. My husband thinks she is a joke, doesn't like her acting and thinks she is over the top. At the beginning I liked her a lot... And I definitely don't agree with my husband about her acting... But still something just puts me off when Felicia is on screen. It's like they are pushing her to be this grand dame too much. It doesn't come off natural, but very staged and superficial. Wearing a head piece and a gown doesn't make you suddenly be that. In most cases it makes people look foolish... when they are still wearing a huge hat while sitting in someone's ugly kitchen talking about stuff. To me... the actress and character shine the most when she seems down to earth and talking through something troubling. When the fluff and glitz is less and the REAL is more. When they act like she is Joan Crawford that's when I start wondering what is going on. She isn't. And some of the wardrobe choices for her have been horrific.  Of course all of these impressions are personal ones and I don't claim to know what the character will become in the future or what it was when she started.  I'm only saying my natural response to her now.   Then I'll blame him too! Thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry to respond so late but that's the first time I'm reading these comments.   More like criticism to the show and the way they are portraying her. I still like the actress a lot.
    • Mid 1979 to mid 1981 was A+ quality for the show.   I even found things to like about the show in the final year or so when the quality had somewhat declined.
    • From what I heard, the actress playing Leslie opted to leave so instead of recasting again.. they killed her off.   Holly brought it on herself by lying and pretending Christina was Ed's child.  Although I do think that Rita's actions with withholding that message from Ed weighed upon her.   Even though she won Ed in 1976, she realized over time that she never truly had him. There was no Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.  Tim and Evie dated after Rita broke up with him (which happened before Evie and her mother came to Springfield).  Ironically Tim did to Evie what Rita previously did to him... leading someone on that you're not interested in.
    • I mean, he is but he's also still an ásshole.
    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.
