Famous Quotes & Sayings

Eva LaRue

AMC [All My Children] launched my career and changed my life. I got married there and had my baby there and made so many close friends. I am so sad that it is going away. It is a part of television history. Pine Valley is a part of America. It breaks my heart. That role taught me how to really be an actress. It introduced me to a man who gave me my daughter. That is something that I am eternally thankful for and will always be.

I would tell her that she may see the world differently from boys, and that difference is essential and good.

But the women will tell you the stories of people's hearts.
