Laura Wright can legitimately be called a soap opera legend after 30 years of going strong in daytime television.
But how did Wright get her start on soaps when she never truly ever contemplated becoming an actress?
“And I was really busy; I think I had a date that night.
I was like, ‘I don’t have time for this!’
And she really talked me into it and I auditioned on videotape.”
She admitted toSoap Opera Digestthat she acted like the fan she was.
“I carried around a disposable camera taking pictures with everyone.
EvenSusan Lucci, I stalked her down the hallways because I was a fan!
I watched ‘Loving’ every day.
And I was like, ‘What?!’
And she was like, “Pack your bags right now!
You have to be in New York by 5 o’clock tonight, you start work tomorrow morning.”
