From your Emmy-winning article writer and inventor of All My Children, One Life to Live, and Loving, a memoir of her trailblazing popularity of the tv industry, including behind-the-scenes tales from some of the most beloved soaps ever. Before there was Erica Kane, Adam Chandler, or Victoria Lord, there was Agnes Nixon, a girl who imagined up tales for newspaper dolls. Those tales she thought - ones filled with ambitions, rivalries, and romances - would soon echo her own path to success. Within a memoir filled with as much episode as the soaps she penned, Nixon stocks her journey as daughter of a broken marriage who fought again against her father's wish that she dominate the family burial clothing business, overcame the heartbreak of dropping her fiancé in WWII, and later became one of the very most successful brands in it industry. Enthusiasts of Nixon's best creations, All My Children and One Life to Live, will joy at Nixon's own amazing life as well as the behind-the-scenes perception she lends to daytime's most popular programs. Nixon will promote the inspiration behind and casting of the iconic identity Erica Kane, played by Susan Lucci; the storyplot bible for All My Children, and how it became lost and then locked away in a drawer for many years; and how Nixon situated ABC to become the media giant it is today, despite pushback from her men counterparts. This candid glimpse behind the drape of the soap opera industry will appeal soap lovers and story buffs alike. Which has a foreword written and read by Carol Burnett.
