Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis, GH) was interviewed before the Daytime Emmys about Anna Lee; here is the transcript of that interview.
Thanks to Minal for the transcript and pics!
Linda: Listen, let's talk
about something serious.
Nancy: Yes, yes.
Linda: This last week, Anna Lee passed away. How- how has that been at the
show? I mean, it must have been devastating.
Nancy: You know what? Strangely enough, it's not devastating.
Linda: It's not? [Two pics of Anna Lee shown here]
Nancy: Uh, it's celebratory. Because number 1 she lived such a beautiful life
and she- she, ya know, passed away so peacefully and so beautifully, as she is,
and so gracefully, and that is how I would describe her. So I think people are
really sad that they won't see her here anymore but there- they- there.. it's-
it's- we're- we're so happy for her that she's had such a beautiful life.
Linda: Oh my god, 91.
Nancy: She is every bit-you know what? We never knew that. We would talk about
it and she, she would lie. She would be 90 and she would say I'm really
80.
Linda: I'm really 85.
Nancy: You know, she looked young and beautiful. She didn't have a wrinkle in
her skin and not only that, she.. this woman was a true feminist. She- We've had
some pretty good talks, I gotta tell you, and she was always like, you know,
just go out there and do it, so.
Linda: Maybe she's sitting on your shoulder tonight, toots.
Nancy: You know-
Linda: It's possible!
Nancy: You know, nothing would make me happier than to have someone that lovely
on my shoulder. I can just- She is-
Linda: Good luck tonight, Nance.
Nancy: She is- and I know she'll just leave the best memories for us and we
will miss her just terribly.
Linda (giving her a hug): That's so sweet. Love you. (gives her a kiss)
Nancy: Love you too.
Linda: I'll see you inside. Go, Go have fun.
