Aretha Franklin and Eric Braeden at the 32nd Annual Daytime Emmys. |
When introducing the show's best drama series montage at the 1997 Daytime Emmys, Franklin said, "I watch it in the morning. I watch it when I'm at home. I watch it when I'm in concert. I watch it when I'm asleep. I watch it."
"Victor is one of my favorite characters in The Young and the Restless," she added. "I love the way he makes his approach to a woman. He's the all-time player."
Watch the 1997 Y&R montage and Franklin's introduction below.
Eric Braeden, who has played Victor Newman on Y&R since 1980, sent well wishes to Franklin earlier today on Twitter.
