Jacquie Courtney -- a truly engaging presence and mesmerizing actress -- has been trashed by Lemay for years. Yet, he and Rauch retained some pretty horrible actors during their reign of terror -- Gail Brown, Susan Harney, Hugh Marlowe, Susan Keith, etc. And speaking of ethnic diversity, did Lemay ONCE write a signficant role for an African American or Latino character? Vera Moore and Terry Alexander were hardly used and were never contract players. Expanding the show to an hour would have been the perfect opportunity to give them a storyline -- instead, they just vanished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-4568142456352858602013-01-11T18:05:06.388-05:002013-01-11T18:05:06.388-05:00Anyone who watched Jacquie Courtney play her two r...Anyone who watched Jacquie Courtney play her two roles on OLTL and in other dramas can attest to the fact that her range as an actress was more than most. Lemay clearly just never liked a lot of those actors personally, and his book reads like the ultimate diary of an ego-maniac far more filled with hubris than even George Reinholt was.

This dampened an otherwise interesting interview considerably.GuidingLightTributehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243597008467889119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-16275208015868985532009-07-27T03:25:27.180-04:002009-07-27T03:25:27.180-04:00I was too young to watch Another World.
