It was his first marriage, too. Lasted from 1952 to 1958. He's been
married four times since then.
Sally Gracie's last role was in the 1992 comedy "Passed Away." Hrrm.

Doctors" and restaurant owner Ina Phillips on "One Life to Live."

Thank heaven Sally Gracie wasn't on Dobie Gillis or we'd have another thrilling
"Rule of Three" thread.

OLTL's Ina Hopkins 1978-83
THE DOCTORS' Martha Allen 1968-1977
THE NURSES' Pat Steele 1965-67
And, maybe AMC? But, did Ina Hopkins become Ina Phillips? Both 1987©
SOAP OPERA ENCYCLOPEDIA & IMDb list the character as Ina Hopkins, FYI.
And, if so, is there a story behind what has to be an homage?!!
