News Brief

AUDIO: Interview with Mark Pinter Daytime veteran Mark Pinter (ANOTHER WORLD, GUIDING LIGHT) discussed his soap experiences and more in an interview with "Buzzworthy Radio." FOX 411 on Beverlee McKinsey "I am sad to report the great soap actress of the '70s and early '80s, Beverlee McKinsey, has died of a kidney ailment. With her blonde curls and husky voice, McKinsey created the unforgettable character of Iris Cory Carrington, the willful, wealthy, jealous adult daughter of a publishing tycoon on the great soap ANOTHER WORLD. She was nominated for four Emmys in a row, from 1977 to 1980. In the '80s she went on to create the equally manipulative Alexandra Spaulding on GUIDING LIGHT. But she didn’t suffer fools easily, and one day she simply left the latter show abruptly, citing a contract loophole, and never looked back. Isn’t that great? Heaven is in for a treat."
