Helen Wagner (Nancy Hughes) »

Helen Wagner, best known for playing Nancy Hughes on As the World Turns for more than a half-century, has died. She was 91.

Wagner, who acted up until her death, died Saturday, the show's New York-based production company, TeleNext Media Inc., announced. She spoke the first words on As the World Turns when it premiered in 1956, and holds the Guinness World Record for playing the same role on television for the longest time (54 years). She was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2004.

"All of us at As The World Turns are deeply saddened by Helen's passing," executive producer Christopher Goutman said. "She is loved by generations of fans and, while we will miss her greatly, Helen will always remain the heart and soul of As The World Turns."

On Nov. 22, 1963, Wagner's character was saying her lines when the broadcast was interrupted with a "CBS News Bulletin" sign and Walter Cronkite announced that President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas.

Before joining the CBS soap opera, Wagner appeared on TV programs including Studio One, Philco Television Playhouse and The World of Mr. Sweeney.

Born in Lubbock, Texas, she also starred in several Broadway productions including Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Bad Seed, My Name Is Acquilon and Love of Four Colonels.

Wagner was married to Broadway producer Robert Willey from 1954 until his death in May 2009.

Members of the cast and production staff from cancelled soap opera GUIDING LIGHT have formed 9after7 Productions. The independent production company announces the roll-out of its first project, a straight to DVD film entitled La Lumiere.

GUIDING LIGHT viewers need no longer mourn the loss of their favorite stars. Earlier this year a group of talented cast and production members from the show, led by Fiona Hutchison and Tina Sloan, came together to form 9after7 Productions.

The company’s goal is to create films, television programming and web content tailored to their loyal GL fans and soap opera viewers worldwide. “We have an opportunity to create original entertainment and give it directly to the fans. They have been the bread and butter of daytime for over fifty years and should not be forgotten,” said Hutchison.

The company has decided to take a novel approach in marketing its first project. 9after7 Productions is going straight to the consumer. By offering a Limited Edition DVD of La Lumiere, they plan to raise enough capital to cover the costs of the production and create seed money for a follow-up.

“We’re very excited to go forward with our first venture,” said Sloan. “And we’re depending on both our wonderfully loyal fans, and the entire daytime community to support our project. This is an opportunity for soap viewers to make their voices heard. What we intend," added Sloan, "is to create a new kind of light.”

“La Lumiere” available for pre-order on May 1st at http://www.facebook.com/l/9dda6;www.newkindoflight.com.

Hey As The World Turns Fans

It's Peter Parros aka Dr. Ben Harris aka Big Ben. And I'm back... kind of... we'll see... ; ) Guess what I've been doing since I've been away from Oakdale? I started the production company I've been dreaming about for years. It's called Ten Talents Productions. I learned a lot in the process and gained a whole new appreciation for what producers do. It's really hard work. Probably the most difficult thing I've ever done. With greater control comes greater responsibility!

The first project that we're releasing is a cartoon called KIDZ OF THE KING ADVENTURES! It's a 30 minute DVD based on a comic book series about ten angels disguised as teenage super heroes. It's very cool and positive. People are saying great things about it.

Christmas is coming and KIDZ OF THE KING could make a great gift. If you purchase the DVD online, and note that you're an As The Word Turns Fan, I'll include 2 comic books for FREE! You can check out KIDZ OF THE KING at www.TenTalentsProductions.com

Whatever you do, don't miss AS THE WORLD TURNS on Friday, November 6 and Monday, November 9. That's when you get to find out what Big Ben is up to these days.

Peace, Peter
