FLASHBACK: The Complete Story of 'Days of our Lives' (1965-1973)

In August 1973 Daytime TV magazine continued their series "The Complete Story of..." with Days of our Lives.

The 12-page feature told the story of Days up until that point and included information about the original cast, photos from the beginning and behind the scenes details. It also talked about the origins of the show and how it became a success. ("We make every effort to do a first-rate show, one whose standards match that of nighttime programming. One of the main factors to which we can attribute its longevity is the level of writing maintained by William Bell, our head writer since 1966.")

Other details include an explanation of "How It's Written," Days romances, and a look at the show's "woman producer" Betty Corday.
