As Seen on TV



Not Young, Still Restless
Jeanne Cooper
Memoir

I used to love soap operas—until all of my favorites (Guiding Light, As the World Turns, All My Children) were canceled. I did watch The Young and the Restless in high school and college but I lost interest once most of the characters I liked were killed off or left. But I still have fond memories of the show, so I picked up Jeanne Cooper’s book.

Ms. Cooper plays Katherine Chancellor on Y&R and she’s been on the show since the seventies. She talks about her early work doing movies before landing on Y&R and dishes the dirt on popular storylines and most of her co-stars. She even goes into details about her horrific marriage. It’s a much more interesting book than I figured it would be.

If you’re a soap opera fan or a Y&R fan, you’ll love Not Young, Still Restless.
