Daytime legend, former talk show host, and co-creator of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS and THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, Lee Phillip Bell’s biography on her late husband, “The Young and Restless Life of William J. Bell” is now in paperback nationwide currently in bookstores.

There's much of Bill's philosophies on serialized storytelling in the book and untold anecdotes from the golden age of soap operas", says Maloney.
