Hi, Steve.
Yes, it is Shelly Burch, and I'd love to find a copy of that tape to share with her. She "semi-retired" 10 or 12 years ago in order to have a family, but she now does stage and TV work once in a while. She's very humble, and a delightful lady--and very talented. I have to admit, during our lunch, she mentioned the "actress who played [her] mother" and could have left it at that, but she went on to name Grayson Hall--and mentioned Grayson's work in THAT DARN CAT for one of our other luncheon partners who is way too young to know DS or Grayson. I really felt I was experiencing that idea of "6 Degrees of Separation," and, I think, in Shelly's mind, Grayson represented somewhat of a star to her in her early work on OLTL. (Yes, she was in NINE, too.)
