3rd Annual Indie Soap Awards: Kali Cook, Jillian Clare Top Anne Sayre's Best Dressed List

The red carpet at the 3rd Annual Indie Soap Awards was flooded with photographers' flashes. There were reps from more media outlets than We Love Soaps ever expected, including several international wire services. Attendees were dressed to the nines, eagerly angling to eye each other's creativity, style and joie de vivre. We're happy to see that almost everyone was captured by one photographer or another, and the web is absolutely flooded with ISA fashion. But that leaves us wondering: which were the truly iconic ensembles of the evening, the ones that proclaim, "I am the Indie Soap Awards!"?

For the answer to that question, we turned to our guest fashion editor: New York City's gorgeous and fabulous Anne Sayre. Anne starred, for several years, as the lovable Mitzi Matters on AS THE WORLD TURNS. She began her soap career with roles on ALL MY CHILDREN and ANOTHER WORLD, has appeared in a number of sketches on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN and has guest starred on series like NEW YORK UNDERCOVER. And, she's no stranger to the Indie Soap Awards: in 2010, she received a nomination for her comedic performance on GOTHAM.

Anne has analyzed and assessed hundreds of images from the Awards, and we are happy to announce that she has chosen her favorites. Here is her list of the top ten best dressed at the 3rd Annual Indie Soap Awards.

Daytime Emmy Award-winning actress Anna Holbrook, and her Another World co-star, Kale Browne, appear on today's episode of indie web soap Scripts & Scruples. They plan Sam's parents, Maggie and Alan Zegas.

Sam (Nathan Rollins) brings Stacey Gamage (Melissa Rae) to dinner at his parent's house in Montclair, New Jersey. They are surprised at Stacey's age, and it's obvious they are dealing with some serious issues of their own.

Anna Holbrook Joins the S&S Cast

Anna Holbrook, who won a Daytime Emmy Award in 1996 as Outstanding Supporting Actress will be joining the cast of SCRIPTS & SCRUPLES in the role of Maggie Zegas, Sam's mother, and the wife of Alan (played by Kale Browne). This will be an ANOTHER WORLD reunion for Holbrook and Browne who played Sharlene and Michael, respectively, on the former NBC soap. Sharlene was John's true love, but did have a fling with his brother, Michael.
