Can't believe Deidre Hall (Marlena) is 64. She looks as good today as she
did when she first appeared on the show 35 years ago. Hard to believe she
is only four years younger than Suzanne Rogers who plays Maggie.

She looks good... a little plastic for my taste, though.
He face practically screams plastic surgeon.

I think, Deidre is better looking now, than she was then. Too bad, she
is a lesbian.

Why is this too bad?

John's a guy so I guess he can't fantasize about her if she's a lesbian...?

Well, I never heard a word about her being lesbian.
With 4 husbands it's pretty obvious, she is not.
"Personal life
She has been married 4 times. Her husbands were:

William Hudson (May 6, 1966-1970)
Singer Keith Barbour (1972-1977)
Producer/Writer, Michael Dubelko (1987-1989)
Author/Screenwriter, Steve Sohmer (1991-2006). Hall and Sohmer have two sons, David Atticus Sohmer, born August 23, 1992, and Tully Chapin Sohmer, born January 19, 1995. Both boys were born via a surrogate mother known as Robin B."

Hmm, wonder why she didn't stay married? I understand, she is living
with a gal pal now.

They did talk a lot about a "writing partner" on Wikipedia.
Well, if the mother (Meredith Baxter) of the Keaton family figured out she prefers women to men, why not her, too? :)

Actually she is, the marriages were 'covers', or they didn't work out
because she prefers women. She's had a long time relationship with the
actress that plays Stephanie on The Bold and Beautiful.

OMG!!! I did not know that! I've known about Susan Flannery's
sexuality, but I did not know of any of her relationships. I guess I'm
amazed that with these two soap celebrities together, I had not read
about it somewhere before. Maybe it's because I usually skip threads
that may turn into gay bashing, and don't read a lot of celebrity news. :)

LOL! Wonder if "Marlena" knows about "Stephanie's" dark side? ;)
[i.e. tried to kill Brooke a few times.]

Wouldn't Stephanie coming out of the closet make for a great storyline for B&B? Especially with her recent reluctance to go to bed with her hubby.

It's especially amazing when you consider that Deidre Hall effectively
replaced Susan Flannery as the dominant blonde psychiatrist on Days. It's
true that Susan's character of Laura Horton was taken over by other
actresses (including Jamie Lyn Bauer), but none of them had Susan Flannery's
presence and the character was pretty much written out of the show not long
after Marlena arrived. It's also ironic that one of Marlena's early big
storylines was treating Laura Horton.

Respectfully, I would talk about Susan Flannery's partner or
relationship, *no matter what sex* they were. My comment was in regard
to my ignorance that these two "well known" actresses' relationship was
unknown to me. Not that either is GAY.

Don't look for bigotry in every statement about gay celebrities.

It's not a discussion about their sexual preferences any more than it
would be about the preferences of straight actors. Fan talk is fan talk
and no one has said it was disgusting or anything else derogatory about
them.

Believe it, dear (slightly paranoid) Unknown!
Love to talk about other folks' private life, it's called gossip, and it's as old as mankind. :))

And, actually, after looking closely at Deidre Hall (I have TV on while I work) today, I was a little shocked how much she has changed.
Her soft features have somehow become harsher, the eyes are slanted... she looks like she has had a facelift gone just ever so little wrong - all stretchy and just not natural.
Her friend Stephanie (nobody here knows if they are lovers) ages more gracefully.
