“[One Life To Live] was a great job for me. Phil Carey, who played Asa my boss on the show, in the first two or three years he’d say “You’re crazy not to ask them for a contract” because they were very fond of me and the writers liked me, but I really didn’t want one. I didn’t want them to have the power to say I couldn’t do that play or musical, or go out of town, so I never asked for a contract.”
