NEWS: Mary McDonnell Remembers AS THE WORLD TURNS; Melissa Reeves; Corbin Bleu; Sutton Foster

MAJOR CRIMES star Mary McDonnell reflects on playing Claudia Colfax on AS THE WORLD TURNS in 1980
"Oh, my God! Okay, here it is: I’m going to try to do word association. I’m standing in front of a wall, a piece of a wall, with a pay phone on every episode I played, putting a dime or a quarter or something into the phone and calling the character who was the lead in the show (Colleen Zenk's Barbara Ryan) about her baby, who I was secretly raising. But I had a boyfriend who was beating me up, so I was always in tears or, like, bruised. That’s what I remember. The other thing I remember about it was being jubilant, because I was making money, and I could actually take my boyfriend at the time out to dinner." [Laughs]
