I always choose to remember the moment that was the best of Jeanne Cooper - those photos where she's in that wild dress triumphantly hoisting up the Emmy the night she finally won the damn thing. She was so proud, so happy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Probably one of the happiest moments, outside the birth of all of my kids, was the first time we won an Emmy, that the show won an Emmy. That was a big night.
The whole process of being one of the 10 finalists for the 'Vogue' Fashion Fund award has to be my biggest achievement to date. Meeting Anna Wintour, Diane von Furstenberg, etc., has been an amazing experience that even now gives me goose bumps when I think about it.
I loved Julia Louis-Dreyfus's show 'The New Adventures of Old Christine.' That made me laugh out loud. She's like Lucille Ball. She's brilliant.
It was a lot of fun doing 'Felicity.' She had just won the Golden Globe, and she was huge at the time, but she was like the nicest girl ever. As a guest star on a show, you get on the set and you feel out of place, but she was so nice to me and really cool.
I saw Tina Turner do 'Proud Mary' on TV, and it was so electrifying and such a unique experience. I remember crying out of excitement, and I knew that I wanted to be a performer and make people feel excited and moved, and that's why I gravitated towards it.
I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.
It was very cool to be honored and be acknowledged in that way for the first time ever, being nominated for an Emmy.
Well, you know, I mean, she was so wonderful, and she really played the role to perfection.
We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.
My favorite actress of all times is Bette Davis in Dark Victory. I have seen it six or seven times, and I still cry.
