Quote: "Since I was one of masters of the ‘80s lifestyle, I believe it’s my duty to share with my fans and teach them how to realize that glam life today." She's so damn full of herself it's ridiculous. :lol: Quote: TVG: They’re rectified that mistake recently. What was it like working with La Cooper? BD: Because I am a gifted actress, to put me with someone like Jeanne, who comes from the glory days of Hollywood, really helped me grow as an actor in my younger days. I love Jeanne; she’s a great actress and mother. We used to hang out a lot. I’ve known Jeanne since 1975. I’m glad she won the Emmy Award because she deserved it a long time ago. MY GOD! This woman is so full of herself! I've seen tapes. She's not even that good.

OLTL, 2. DAYS	LoL! I doubt she has any idea what a parody of herself she really is. Jess Walton has made the role of Jill her own, and hers it shall stay (God willing). I can't picture Dickson fitting in on Y&R again, AT ALL. I think it would have been interesting to see her on DH, though. She'd fit right in over there with her hammy scenery chewing and larger-than-life ego, LoL. Edited by Mason, Jun 17 2009, 02:52 PM.

She really thinks that the ratings for Y&R would skyrocket if she returned, doesn't she? I really, most sincerely doubt it. As awesome as it would be to see her as Jill again, the role just isn't hers anymore. Jess Walton is Jill and that's all there is to it. I do wish Brenda would've been cast on Desperate Housewives as Edie's sister though.

I LOVE that she is so egotistical and the fact is she DOES know that people were/are laughing at her but she doesn't give a fuck! She's going to make money off that camp classic and people can laugh her all the way to the prosperity she deserves! I can't help it! She was my first soap crush and she'll always have a place in my heart!As far as her acting skills are concerned she is AMAZING! Watching some of the clips of her acting don't do her justice! The character of Jill evolved over the years and she was great as a young actress and later as a campy '80's style villainess! Anyone doubting her talent NEEDS to see the scene where she learns her husband is dead back in '75! I'm thrilled for her even if she is nuttier than an outhouse mouse! GREAT INTERVIEW Nelson!

She'd have to be BLIND not to know that because even her so called "Number One Fan" is laughing at her in his introduction! She IS definitely out where the buses don't run but I think she's aware of what many people think! What's most important to her is THAT they think of her no matter if it's good or bad! I read an online blog of hers and she had people laughing at her and razzing her six ways from Sunday and there was NO DOUBT that she got that! She's going with ANY publicity is GOOD publicity!

I THOUGHT that number seemed wrong! I forgot about the fact that Y&R hit number one and has stayed there since 1988, a year after BD's departure! But LORD do I still love that woman!

Interesting read though Nelson. She's definitely a character for a lack of a better word.

True Hollywood Story interview for Y&R regarding her exit. I wouldnt be surprised if certain untruths have become truths in her mind. The stuff about her sallary though .... wow. She knew Jess was bolting because of budget cuts, and knows about the state (somewhat) of daytime, yet thinks she'd still bring in huge money? When a year ago she was sleeping on the floor? Wow. Not to mention that she actually thinks she would be able to bring in huge numbers when she hasnt acted in 22 years - like people who havent watched Y&R for 22 years (and that's a nice assumption that they never came back btw) would pick up a show after all that time to what's mostly a different cast.
