Murphy was also on GLITTER with Morgan Britany, Post Dallas.
ReplyDeleteAlso I visited the Soap Opera Bistro in May 2002 and was looking for it last year. Probly Frons had it closed.
11/3 is also Sean Ringgold's (ex-Shaun, OLTL) birthday, too! You forgot to include him in your birthday list for 11/3, Roger!
