My life came down to being a granny and watching a lot of television.

I'm one of these children who grew up at the knee of my grandmother and her elder sister, listening to very old people talk about their memories.

I was always singing and dancing for my mother when I wasn't glued to the television watching I Love Lucy or the Carol Burnett Show.

We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records. Music was a very important part of our lives.

I grew up with singers. My father's mother sang opera. My dad was a big band singer. I can't remember a time there wasn't music in the house, so I grew up listening to great songwriters - George Gershwin, Cole Porter - and my grandma was playing opera for me before I was 3.

I was a kid, and I remember my mother singing. She was also a radio soap opera actress, but my mother sang.

My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I used to watch 'The Andy Williams Show' on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn't be interested in.

I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.

Music has always played a big part in my life and, believe it or not, in my soap opera career.
