“There are two ways of spreading light. To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.”

She’s been hailed as the most famous face in daytime television. A wax figure at Madame Tussaud’s, a caricature at Sardi’s, a handprint at Planet Hollywood, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a billboard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a best-selling eponymous line at HSN. She’s been presented with a “Key to the City” by former Mayor Giuliani, appeared as one of Barbara Walters’ “Ten Most Fascinating People,” served as the March of Dimes Ambassador, and has been associated with countless other charities. In 1999 she at long last received an Emmy for playing the role of Erica Kane in All My Children, which was followed by a two-minute ovation—indeed it felt like the whole world stood up in those moments and gave her the roar of applause she so rightfully deserved. The award rests center stage in the middle of the mantle in her living room, in case you’re wondering. She’s a daughter, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a philanthropist, an entrepreneur, and an iconic actress. There’s almost nothing left to accomplish, and yet she emits the kind of light Jack Kerouac refers to for those select few “who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
