COMMENTS FROM THE PANEL:
Alan Carter: From light comedy to heavy drama, not to mention bringing in her own personal travails into a storyline...what hasn't Jeanne Cooper done?
Connie Passalacqua Hayman (Marlena De Lacroix): A real daytime original and a survivor. The evil alky Mrs. Chancellor stopped the show cold in 1975 and did it again last year with her endearing dual portraits of Marge/and truly-lovelorn-at-last Katherine.
Roger Newcomb: I grew up watching the formation of the Kay and Jill rivalry and Jeanne Cooper has made it work with every Jill. In fact, she makes her scenes work with everyone. As the years (and decades) have gone by, my respect for her talent and ability to always make things interesting has continued to grow. And her love for the genre that led her to request to be on GUIDING LIGHT at the end made me appreciate her even more.
Mimi Torchin: What can I say about Jeanne that many others before me haven't already said? Nothing. So let me just reiterate: Talent, guts, and a raucous sense of humor. What a fabulous broad.
Thom Racina: (wrote for Cooper at Y&R) Jeanne Cooper and Jess Walton: What a pair, what a delight together on screen, what riveting work. It was such a joy to be able to write some dialogue for them last year because I was just a big old fan!
COMMENTS FROM CO-STARS/CO-WORKERS/INDUSTRY:
Michael Muhney: (works with Cooper on Y&R) Jeanne is a load of fun and can spar with anyone. Nothing intimidates that woman, and that's why I love her. She's also quite complimentary of my acting so she has charmed her way into my heart.
Kin Shriner: (worked with Cooper on Y&R) Great time with her. She's a fun lady. We had a lot of fun in the '80s on a PA one weekend. She's wild as can be and makes me laugh every time I see her.
