"This was during an interview very shortly after I joined the show—boy, was I young!"

"Niki Smith, the first time I played her!"

"Viki with Karen Wolek (played by Judith Light) who was married to Dr. Larry Wolek, Viki's brother-in-law. This was when Viki discovered that Karen was a prostitute and the beginning of a marvelous story—one of the best ever told in daytime drama (it was written by Gordon Russell). Judith won her first Best Actress Emmy for this story."

"Allan Miller and me at the studios on 101 West 67th Street - Allan played Dave Siegel (the resident lawyer in town)."

"I am happy about something, I think it was a fan event."

"Bernie Grand (who played Steve Burke), me, and Lee Patterson. Steve Burke was Victor's choice to marry Viki after Joe disappeared and was presumed dead. When I joined the show in 1971, I worked with Bernie Grand most of the time and we got married; when Lee Patterson returned to OLTL (obviously NOT dead), Viki went back to Joe. That was when my real father, Walter Slezak, was on the show playing my godfather, Laslo, who came to town to talk Steve Burke into giving Viki a divorce. My father was a fabulous actor and it was a joy to be able to work with him just one time."

"Me playing Niki Smith - trash personified!"

"Michael Storm, Janice Lynde, and I at their wedding on the show."

"This was taken at the Emmy awards where they were held on a boat that circled NYC; that's probably why my hair is so wild!"

"My first Emmy win in 1984, pictured with my husband, Brian Davies. A very happy girl!"
