Good news: Jess Walton, the Emmy winning and long time star of “The Young and the Restless” is publishing a memoir next April.
Walton has won two Emmy awards for playing Jill Foster Abbott on the CBS soap since the late 80s. She was on other soaps before that including “Capitol.”
But she was also a primetime player in the Sixties and Seventies. She was part of LA’s very hip Laurel Canyon scene of actors and musicians that included Neil Young, David Geffen, Laura Nyro, and Joni Mitchell. I want to hear those stories! It’s the last time Hollywood was interesting.
Walton landed a contract role at Universal, and she appeared on countless classic TV shows like “Gunsmoke,” “Kojak,” and “The Streets of San Francisco” with Michael Douglas and Karl Malden. I’m ordering my copy now! (I’m just sorry she wasn’t on “Mannix,” but you can’t have everything!)
