Y&R's Jerry Douglas writes JFK book
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS star Jerry Douglas was so inspired by charismatic politician John F. Kennedy’s visit to Brandeis University in the 1950s, he wrote a play about the president — and it just had a first stage reading in Los Angeles.

“His visit changed my life,” said the Chelsea homey. “I will never forget the excitement we felt in the room. The future president was one of us.”

Along with co-author Robert Perry, Douglas penned “JFK & Jackie,” a play that examines the relationship of the late president and first lady. In it, a restless JFK appears during a visit from heaven.
