Meeting Morgan Fairchild

I was fortunate to hear Morgan Fairchild speak about caring for her mother who suffered a series of strokes at this year’s Go Red for Women luncheon sponsored by the Heart Association. Fairchild said both of her mother’s parents died of strokes (the mother 13 days before her wedding) and a little less of her mother came back after each stroke she suffered. It was hard to believe that her mother enrolled her in drama lessons when she was too shy to give a book report. "My fear of the stage was only second to the fear of my mother," she said. She is absolutely beautiful. "At my age, I have the face you've earned and paid for," she said.
