It made me a bit sad to hear that 95-year-old actress, Frances Reid, just passed away. I stopped watching Days of Our Lives several years ago (after Marlena supposedly killed everyone, but it wasn't really her and no one was really dead and things got really confusing), but up until that point I had been watching it for most of my life. I started watching before I was even old enough to understand half of the crap that went on. (I didn't even know what an "affair" was at that time.)
Anyway, for those who don't know, Frances was an original cast member, who played the show's iconic matriarch, Alice Horton, for 42 years. She was always good for some sage advice, a twinkle-eyed smile, custom-made Christmas ornaments and, course, those famous donuts.
I'll bet my Dad is having a shot of whiskey in Frances' honor. I got him hooked on Days about 20 years ago and, even though I gave up on it, he's still watching.
Rest in peace, Mrs. H!

I got to know some of the goings-on just by osmosis.
I might not go for soaps, but I admire the kind of work it involves. Because I've seen Tootsie.
