OLTL: George Reinholt, male escort
Frances Yasprica
This is for REAL oldtimers (20 years ago) who remember Tony Lord, the
first of Victor's heretofore unknown spawns.
On Entertainment Tonight, their "cover story" was about a forgotten
one-time soap idol, George Reinholt, who's now down on his luck and
advertising his services as an "escort" for anyone who'll pay.
They had shots of him from his heyday in the 70s on ANOTHER WORLD, and
mentioned how he'd been fired. And then later fired from "another soap"
(not even mentioned OLTL or his time there).
He is now practically unrecognizable, heavy and jowly and not at all aging
well. They didn't get into too many specifics about his descent. Just
that he'd been "difficult" and fired from two shows and then he nursed his
ailing parents (now dead). And now he's rebuilding his life. He lives in
Florida and ran his ad in local papers but so far has had no takers.
He's offering himself as a celebrity to accompany women to various social
functions (not as THAT kind of escort!)
It was very sad and pathetic to see the state he's come to. Especially
compared to some of his former co-stars like Robin Strasser and Victoria
Wyndham (Rachels 1 & 2 on AW).

Tony Harris (Lord) and Pat Ashley (Kendell); they were quite a couple.
Kind of sad about George; now whatever happened to Jacqueline Courtney?

Sorry to breach netiquette by following up to my own post,
but there was a typo in the poem. It scans better this way:
>From: Mama don't let your babies grow up to be soap stars
>
>There once was Another World man with a bad attitude
>he thought he saved One Life and was excessively rude
>he was the bad boy of daytime
>and a lesson in trashing careers
>although a fine actor George hasn't been acting in years

OLTL started in 1968; AMC started in 1970; Jacquie Courtney played Pat
Ashley Kendall.
