One Life to Live: DTR Karen on the witness stand

[jamieshorts111]

I love Reba and One Life to Live!

[Withshortwings]

Love Judith but give me the subtlety of Brynn Thayer any day. 

[MrReeseRideout]

Judith Light is and was terrific. Reba, on the other hand, is an annoying hick, who has now carved up her face a la Joan Rivers to look like what I guess she thinks is 25.

[heartRN]

The end of an era....so sad

[antonzap]

These classic scenes put today's show to shame.

[christheone8773]

Oh how I remember this scene - this scene really skyrocketed Judith Light's career!! What a fantastic actress!!

[east215]

I've loved Judith Light for years. This is wny.

[hidoll22]

This is what got Judith Light on the map- it's great seeing all the old episodes again. I LOVE YOUTUDE

This is what got Judith Light on the map

karen wolek had a hard life with men. marco dane pimped her...brad vernon raped her...ivan kipling stalked her...and herb callison brutalized her psychologically on the witness stand. is it me or do others like judith light a little more full-figured and curvaceous. this courtroom scene is right up there with marlene deitrich's scene in the movie witness for the prosecution...***yes, yes, yes, yes...***

[tomservo56954]

@petercox9 Now I'm glad she found someone as decent as Tony Micelli...a man willing to put aside his own dream (the teaching position he got after earning a college degree) to remain with her.

[monte702]

brilliant!

[jasoncarly]

Snappydaze, do you have the scene before this that reba was talking about? do you also have more karen scenes? I love her lol

[TIPTON340]

One of her performances on "One Life to Live" - "Karen Wolek on the Stand" - was so powerful and is remembered so vividly that, to this day, it is used as a model in acting classes throughout the nation. Additionally, it was recently honored as being one of TV Guide's "100 Most Memorable Moments on Television."

[jasoncarly]

Do you know if anyone has the first part? The part that reba was talking about?

[MrsBobbyJamesEwing]

Great video clip. Judith Light is an amazing actress.

[MsTexas73]

Yes she is!..Karen,Carla,Dorian and Nora...my all time FAVORITE characters on OLTL.

[GenXorcist1976]

Reba was so cute hosting these little shows!

[ShutEmDownNow]

Viki's lawyer is Paul Martin, making a crossover appearance from "All My Children" (Paul Martin is Joe Martin's brother, and Tad Martin's adoptive uncle).

[KendallHartz]

OMG!!! I knew I recgonized that woman!!! Judith Light is Claire Meade on Ugly Betty! WOW!

[TheUntouchables6]

What about Angela from Who's The Boss? Did you watch that?

[whuddupnikkie]

i did <3

i love who's the boss!

[dynamic27ph]

Thank you for posting! This is absolutely incredible. I never thought I'd see the scene that made Judith Light win so many awards. She's such a remarkable actress.

[JWns33]

this is when Soaps knew how to tell a story- and build suspense.

[jerseycityjoe]

Wonderful actress! NYC loves Judith and she is not 2nd or 3rd but number

"ONE"

[koollatter]

Judith Light...the 2nd greatest daytime actress...behind Beverlee Mckinsey.

[zellacurry]

you mean behind erika slezak

[BrockMasters9]

Not just a great soap moment a great acting moment. Rivals anything else ever put on TV

[ham4ut]

I missed school to watch this- One Life to Live was sooo good in those days!

[bisnagaboy]

This was back in the day when daytime drama was good and not crap like it is today.

[jasoncarly]

I totally agree

[jjann09]

Yes!! Judith Light was FANTASTIC!! This episode shows ONE LIFE TO LIVE at its best!

[castingtherunes]

Judith Light was the Light of my life.

[2Catangel]

This is just too cool being able to see this again!

[JFB617]

Karen won two Emmys for this role.

[Rosannasfriend]

I think Judith was amazing, but you gotta admit that the guy playing the prosecution lawyer is at least part of the reason she did so well. Damn!! He's amazing, and a convincing "bulldog" like Reba called him. Very intense.

[MsTexas73]

That's HErb Callison...Dorian's ex hubby...her daughter Cassie's dad.

Karen was an AWESOME character..>Judith was AWESEOM in the role...I miss characters like Karen...and Carla and Ed Hall...OLTL and ABC sopas in general were GREAT back then.

[fossefan]

Herb adopted Cassie...her real dad's David Renaldi.

[MsTexas73]

Yes you are right....I totally forgot about David Renaldi aka Roger from Guiding Light.

[wendys120]

I really miss "Who's The Boss?"!!

[Sileeee56]

Me too...

[Original007]

I remember this as a kid...it was a big deal. The thing I always remembered about Judith Light as Karen was her horrible mop of hair that always seemed to get in her way. It was continuously awful!

[MsTexas73]

LOL...but I liked her hair...it was SO KAREN...and yes I remember this s/l was a BIG deal.

[MsTexas73]

Even moreso than Viki and Dorian, Karen Wolek and Carla Gray Hall were my favorites on OLTL

[corkie1361]

Do you have any more OLTL with Judith Light?

[corkie1361]

Judith Light is incredible!
