Abstract
Agnes Nixon created Carla Benari/Clara Gray and her famous storyline on One Life to Live, but Ellen Holly (1931–) brought the character and her actions to life. As a light-skinned Black woman, Holly struggled to find work as an actress, particularly in television. She’d enjoyed more success in theater, making her 1956 Broadway debut as Stephanie in Robert Yale Libott’s Too Late the Phalarope—a role for which she darkened her complexion. (Her father, a chemist, created the makeup she wore because the products she purchased at Gray’s Drug Store in New York “did not work” for her.) Then in 1968, television came calling and she was hired on One Life to Live, becoming the first Black actress to play a central role on a U.S. daytime soap opera. Adrienne Faillace conducted the interview on May 29, 2018 in White Plains, New York.
艾格尼丝·尼克松创造了卡拉·贝纳里/克拉拉·格雷和她在《我只有一条命》中著名的故事情节，但艾伦·霍莉(1931 -)将这个角色和她的行为赋予了生命。作为一名浅肤色的黑人女性，霍莉努力寻找一份女演员的工作，尤其是在电视上。1956年，她在百老汇首次亮相，在罗伯特·耶鲁·利博特的《为时已晚的法勒罗普》中饰演斯蒂芬妮——为了这个角色，她把肤色染黑了。(她在纽约格雷药店(Gray’s Drug Store)购买的化妆品“不管用”，她的化学家父亲为她设计了化妆品。)1968年，电视节目来了，她被《一生一世》(One Life to Live)录用，成为第一位在美国日间肥皂剧中扮演核心角色的黑人女演员。2018年5月29日，阿德里安娜·法莱斯在纽约怀特普莱恩斯接受了采访。
