More on Susan Lucci at the Whitney Gala

Leigh Hornbeck writes: "Susan Lucci looks like a jockey. She is sooo tiny and muscular, she looks like the jockeys you see at the track. I saw a woman literally near tears because Lucci stopped to talk to her. Christen witnessed an entire conversation about a plot line on ALL MY CHILDREN between Lucci and a fan, who brought Lucci’s headshot."

Pasquarelli is now an expert on OLTL and DAYS
ESPN.com senior writer Len Pasquarelli is the 2008 recipient of the Dick McCann Memorial Award, named after the first director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The award is presented by the Pro Football Writers of America in recognition of long and distinguished reporting in the field of pro football. Pasquarelli, who has been recovering from heart surgery since the Super Bowl in February, made the following remarks upon receiving the award at a Hall of Fame ceremony Friday night in Canton, Ohio:

"I am proud and humbled and grateful to stand on the shoulders of people like Vito Stellino, Ira Miller, Jerry Magee, the late Will McDonough, all of whom won this award. They were my mentors, and I'm certainly hopeful that I can mentor some of the upcoming writers in their coverage of the greatest game on earth. Several weeks ago during my rehabilitation, during which I watched way too much TV -- I'm an expert on ONE LIFE TO LIVE, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, etc."

Raya Meddine's Sabrina is true to life
When the folks in charge of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS decided that Raya Meddine was the perfect Sabrina, they incorporated actual information from the actress's life into her character: Both women have fathers who were diplomats, both were raised in Europe, and both speak several languages and are well traveled.

The last is something that Meddine believes has stood her in good stead: "Life is constant change," she says. "You need to be ready to pick up, move on, be strong, adapt and go on to the next phase without resisting."

Don't be surprised if some day soon Natalie Roy becomes Hollywood's next 'It' girl.
Knowing full-time acting careers are more likely to be offered south of the border, Roy's long-term goal is to move to New York City. That almost happened when she screen-tested for a role on ONE LIFE TO LIVE. The audition, she says, went really well. She was one of seven women seriously being considered for the role.

But in the end the producers selected an actor from New York for the part. It was cheaper to go with an American actor, she explains, because they wouldn't have to pay for a work visa.
