A licensed pilot, gourmet cook, and mother, Susan lives in Santa Barbara, California, with a pair of Labrador retrievers. She also likes to travel: She once toured the world with former "B&B" co-star Ian Buchanan, visiting Egypt, China, and Russia.

 

Susan earned a theater degree from Stephens College in Missouri and did post-graduate work at Arizona State. She appeared on various '60s TV shows ("Burke's Law" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea") before joining "Days of Our Lives" in 1966. She won a Daytime Emmy for Best Actress in 1975, her final season on that show.

 

Susan appeared in the classic disaster flick "The Towering Inferno," as well as the 1976 miniseries "The Moneychangers" and "Dallas." She starred in the 1987 premiere of "B&B" and has won three Daytime Emmys for Best Actress (2000, 2002, and 2003) for her work as matriarch-businesswoman Stephanie Forrester. She's even directed a dozen episodes. 

Did You Know?: 

Susan hosts monthly pizza parties, serving pies she makes herself in an oven she had built into her kitchen for just this purpose.

Does anyone know if Susan is a lesbian? She certainly gives that appearance in her hairstyle and clothes and rather a manly walk. I remember when she first was on the soaps. She was thin and beautiful. I hope she isn't gay. I do wish she would change her appearance and if possible, lose some weight. Steffie is starting to get on my nerves. Owning 25% of a company and she thinks she can run with it. Get real! What a woos Ridge is. He's letter that home family step all over Brooke, although she has done some things that are over the top. I might add that I'm referring to the characters and not the actors personally. I still don't know how they won over Y&R since I watch them both. Oh, well. Let's see what this week brings.
