The One Life To Live 40th Anniversary Trivia Book

1 "A Fun, Fact-filled, Everything-you-want-to-know-guide to Your Favorite Soap" is how the new "One Life to Live 40th Anniversary Trivia Book" is described on the cover. I received an advanced copy today and I think fans will be pleased. First, there is a year by year breakout of milestones and news items which succinctly summarize the past 40 years. Then there is a detailed look at many of the memorable cast members featured on the show. The book goes on to cover tales from backstage, personal facts about the actors, interesting plotlines, memorable fan ecounters and a recap of OLTL Emmy history. Some of the interesting trivia samples include: * What kiss caused an ABC affiliate in Texas to drop the show? * Plans to launch a doll of which character sparked outrage? * Which villain spoofed Tom Cruise's couch-jumping antics on "Oprah"? * Which character was based on Paris Hilton? * What popular singer agreed to perform on the show only if her grandmother, a longtime fan, could be on the set? * During which location shoot did one of the show's stars step into an actual pool of quicksand? You'll find all those answers and much more in the book, available in July from Hyperion Books. ABC will celebrate the 40-year milestone with 40 days and 40 nights of ONE LIFE TO LIVE promotions. The book will worked into that publicity.
