As the World Turns

Not that she was sitting around twiddling her thumbs.

The New York City native has always been busy, from her first role in 1983 on As the World Turns to her famous Oscar win for My Cousin Vinny in 1993.

In between studio movies, she's done indie films and Broadway shows and continued her work as a founding member of the off-Broadway theater company Naked Angels.

She also started the supplement company Terra Mare, which sells products like Morning Restore, a collagen powder with vitamins and pre and probiotics.

Because it's great to have all those Brady people, but where are the Irish roots? Where are the religious roots? Where are the inner family conflict roots of that family? That's what made the Bradys so successful.

Kind of like how the Snyders became successful on As the World Turns.

You know, just deep, rich family storytelling rooted in the show's history.

I also agree with you, Candice and Alan, that that you know the rotation really hurts the show you can bring on a sydney that does not mean we should have had to have sacrificed holly tate because i think holly should be there because i think ashley puzimis is too good of an actress to go and i do think holly still has story um i'm interested in this new guy that she's beating around the bush with um Especially Johnny and Chanel Johnny and Chanel's exit I think is really going to hurt this show, because it has been a very long time since the show had a young couple that literally my whole timeline I see root for Janelle every single day, like, fans have not come together over a couple like that in a very long time.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh, the... broke into As the World Turns or one of these soap operas she watched-

[laughs]

... and they, they covered it, and I, I knew it was a big deal.

Right.

"We now have dish suds that," you know, and that she would watch Young and the Restless and As the World Turns and get her, you know, in- be inf- that was her level of influencing was what was happened on her stories, you know? And Parkay Margarine is now healthy because butter is terrible, and so make sure you put Parkay on all of your things.

And, and everything was marketed towards being a convenience, and everything that was not profitable w- was taken out as much as possible so that these corporations could make money, still feed you some food, market it as being good for you and convenient and, "This is the best for you." [laughs]

Right.

Yeah, Monty Hellman's Cockfighter.

And he was in an episode of As the World Turns.

Oh, wow.

There it is.

Oh.

And when Goose dies and his girlfriend from As the World Turns cries.

His wife.

Yeah.

I know.

Can we talk briefly about your time on, uh, As the World Turns?

Sure.

This is really interesting to me, 'cause it'll be the second time today a certain person's name is mentioned.
