Daytime Divas: The Dish on Dozens of Daytime TV's Great Ladies (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

From Days of Our Lives' long-suffering Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) to All My Children's ever-lovelorn Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) to As The World Turns' manipulative Lucinda Walsh (Elizabeth Hubbard) to The Young And the Restless' scheming socialite Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper), the grandes dames of the soap opera world keep viewers tuning in by the millions. Love them or hate them, sympathize or empathize with them, cheer their victories or curse their wily ways, they are as much a mainstay of soapdom as star-crossed romance - and probably more enduring.

Written in an entertaining, irreverent style, Daytime Divas examines the lives, loves, and lusts of these bigger-than-life characters, as well as the real-life escapades of the actresses who portray them. Find out how your favorites score on the Div-o-Meter!

4.0 out of 5 stars for weekends when you can't watch your shows, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

If you're like me, you watch soaps for the women you wish you could be like. Can you imagine saying and doing the things that they do? My God! The best thing about this book is that several of the twenty-eight actresses profiled aren't even on TV anymore. They're just women like Marcy Walker from Santa Barbara that we'll never forget. The book has a cute twelve-step list on how to be a diva. My husband will love that!
