Judith Light-One Life to Live part 2

[zamusicza]

I also give props to the wordless face of Brynn Thayer.

[AWeberF222]

JL was AMAZING in these courtroom scenes. But I also gotta give props to Anthony Call, who played Herb Callison. Probably one of the best performances by a lawyer during a trial I've ever scene. Simply superb, all the way around.

[miggy25]

@AWeberF222 Anthony Call was absolutely amazing as Herb Callison. He was my favorite attorney in soaps. He was just as mesmerizing 10 years after this during the murder trial of Cord's mother, Maria Roberts. When he got Tina to confess the truth about baby Al

[tonybklyn]

I love this woman...I LOVE this woman. That is all.

[billyg41569]

that's okay..it is herb callison...

[billyg41569]

Is the prosecuting attorney Herb Callison?

[judithellenlicht]

@MistressLord I wish Judith Light would come back on the final season.

[MeredithWaters]

This is incredible. I was about 12 when this was being broadcast. I had been home from school on occasion enough to see this show. I was so captivated by the character of Karen Wolek and her plight and by Judith Light's acting I never forgot. After all these years I am finally seeing this incredible scene and what became of "Karen". I can't imagine a more extraordinary performance than this.

[MrJudithDanza1]

Amazing. I am completely amazed. I don't think I could cry like that. I can make myself cry, but not like she did. Brava!! Magificent, Incredible,Terrific,Glorious,S­tupendus,Superb,Excellent,Awes­ome,Cool,Great,Good,Nice,Stupi­licilandus!!! She did such a AWESOME job, no words can describe her. Go JL!!! You ROCK!!!

[JamJam2014]

Best performance ever made

[Candytigger23]

I am so jealous that you actually got to meet her!! I absolutely love her and would die to meet her!! I would also love to see her perform on stage.. I bet it was just amazing.. I wanna be an actress just like her someday!:)

[athenais508]

Wow--I just commented on the previous clip--I'm so glad I waited for Judith to come out last night after her Broadway show "Lombardi"--I had to tell her how great she was in it--and how I enjoyed her as Karen Wolek. A very nice person--and she allowed me to have her photo taken with her.

This scene is incredible. I watched the show in college. Having just watched this clip at my desk in the office, I was shaking inside and tears filled my eyes! Brava! Outstanding, Judith!

[judithellenlicht]

@athenais508 I got to meet her after the show too. :) Thanks for the tip. She is very nice and very pretty indeed...and she rocks in "Lombardi"---very funny.

[IDRIS1130]

The Most Briliant Perfomances Ever In DayTime History !

[MrDdub31]

amazing powerhouse scene

[christheone8773]

I bet that once this scene was filmed, everyone got up and gave her a rousing standing ovation-

[fancifacetv]

OMG NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL ACTING....

[hidoll22]

GO JUDITH GIVE THIS GIRL AN EMMY

[east215]

If the soaps had stories like this, they would'n be dying!

[ronoman88]

Please God tell me what tops this in soaps

[taylor8659]

Can you tell me where i can watch the full episode? well if we can now a days?

[MyNameIsSissy]

GENIUS!!! Where is the next part of this clip, when Karen tells that Talbot Huddleston ran over Brian Kendell with the car and Pat Kendell stands up in court and say's "Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiian...!!! " PLEASE UPLOAD THAT SCENE IF YOU CAN!!!!! xoxo

[jdean62]

I always knew Judith Light was a superb actress.... Watching this it feels like it was only yesterday..... wow im old lol

[becsharp10]

Beautiful acting and writing in this scene. I had forgotten that soap operas used to be this good. Judith Light -- what an awesome actress! Thanks for posting this.

[curtistol]

I hope Judith Light wins an Academy award sometime in the future.

[judithellenlicht]

@curtistol yeah. so do i. I think she definitely deserves it. Hope she will be given a chance to appear on the big screen.

[judithellenlicht]

@curtistol yeah, so do i. I think she definitely deserves an oscar. I hope she will be given a chance on the big screen.

[nefreteri2000]

wow JUDITH RIPPED THIS SCENE APART!!! HOLLA ATCHA GIRL!!!!!

[nefreteri2000]

I watched this scene when I was 14 years old. it was compelling then as it is now. She RIPPED THIS SCENE APART!!! I still have not scene another Day time Actress blow my mind like Judith light. you go sistahgirl!!! whereever you are. much love!! what happen to day time. they don't show stuff like this anymore.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@nefreteri2000 They'd rather show us raunchy sex nowdays(no storyline material). I was right when I told my junior high school teacher that soaps are not the same as the 70's and 80's. She refused to believe me but I think she knows now.

[nefreteri2000]

@imachildofthe80s8089 true that!! I think they ran out of material. lol!!!

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@nefreteri2000 yeah what can daytime do now that hasn't been done a thousand times already. It's just like a one hour after dark program that you'd more likely find on HBO(from the waist up) where's the family values, the larger than life characters and incredible storylines...great cliffhangers and love(not lust or sex mind you) in the afternoon?

[anaur91792]

i was 7 years old when i saw this back then and i remember it like it was yesterday as well. where is she now?

[judithellenlicht]

Judith Light is in New York doing Ugly Betty tv series and a couple of Broadway shows occassionally.

[DanteLacey21]

@anaur91792, I was only 3 when this episode aired so I was too young to have seen it. Judith Light is one incredibly talented actress!!

[khykhy]

..... stunning performance... just.. brilliant.. I remember this WELL!!!

[woperinoboyz]

I used to watch all the ABC soaps back then and this is the one scene I can remember like it was yesterday. Even more than Luke and Laura on General hospital. Even back then, I knew I was witnessing greatness. Judith Light was absolutely brilliant!

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@woperinoboyz yeah this is a trillion times bigger than Luke and Laura. I don't think I would have approved with all the other girls that watched this that L@L belonged together(maybe it's me but I could never marry my rapist, better yet I couldn't leave a good upstanding husband for one)

[dendewil2]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[nycbearman]

I missed 40 afternoons of Junior High School to watch this trial in 1979/80. I was 14.

[lavieboheme68]

Incredible. Phenomenal actress, phenomenal woman.

[MsTexas73]

Every time I catch this scene I'm just SUCKED right back in...and wishing that the soaps were THIS great now.

[fff1313]

I agree, the soaps now are nothing compared to those great days!!!

[xanrodck24]

Judith Light is awesome in not only this scene but during her entire tenure on OLTL. She soooo deserved those two Emmys she won.

[kenh2os]

i loved this scene then and now...i wish she would go back for a reunion show..

[deefanforever]

OMG! I got goosebumps watching that. JL is the best!

[eleanorayoulateagain]

I still remember this scene all these years later. One of the greatest actresses, ever, hands down.

[judithellenlicht]

thank you. :) you're definitely right. :)

[chocolatesouljah]

I am in my mid-40's and watched this show whenever I could. I was enamored of her early and have been a fan of Judith Light ever since. Seeing this I am entranced all over again! I met her briefly in the 80's. Saw her live in the play "Wit" around 1999 or so. She was remarkable. She is one of the all time greats and very underrated. Except for those of us who know. Thanks for posting. A tribute to a radiant talent!

[judithellenlicht]

Oh you're so lucky to have met her!!! It's so wonderful to hear from people who like her too. too bad i haven't scene any re-runs of OLTL. Pls pm me when you have news about re-runs with Judith in it. Thanks. :)

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@chocolatesouljah A lot of ppl watched OLTL back then. Not so much have watched in the 90's and after right up to today. So those who watched before 1976 and through the 80's do know there was a Karen Wolek before an Angela Bower and all the other things after.

[alexcabot16]

Wow apparently this was before I was born? I luv this scene. I mean i'm used to seeing Judith Light as Judge Donnelly but to see her like this on stand??? great acting on her part.

[tyronepowell33]

i luv this scene it draws u in judith light is a wonderful actress

[MsTexas73]

Still one of my FAVORITE moments on OLTL...the other was when Karen admitted to Viki that she was a hooker. POWERFUL SCENE.

It USED to be on You Tube.

[judithellenlicht]

I wish I could see that. If I find it, I'll put it here so everyone can see the depth of Judith's talent as an actress.

[MsTexas73]

Oh I hope you can find it...I still remember part of the dialogue of at wonderful scene...

Karen: "Trick, John, Number....Number, I think that's my favorite.*

And she had this wicked laugh as she delves deeper into her secret life for good and sweet Viki.

HEE HEE.

[gameshowluvr86]

My mom cried so much during this scene.

[MsTexas73]

It really was such an emotially charged scene. And by this time we had SO much time invested in Karen it was sad to see her break and have to spill all.

[coreykingtv]

This is one of the most brilliant, compelling scenes of daytime drama in history. Judith Light's acting is flawless as is the writing, production and everything about it. "One Life To Live" is currently at another creative peak under the head writing of Ron Carlivati. The 40th Anniversary shows were perfect except for one thing, they did not bring Judith Light as Karen back to pay tribute to that particular breakout of the show. It was riveting, astonishingly emotional and ahead of it's times.

[judithellenlicht]

Judith is truly an astounding and exceptional actress. We have a lot of talented actresses but no one quitecompares to Judith Light. I wonder why she wasn't included in 40th anniversary show. That courtroom scene was so poignant and her acting so powerful that drama universities use that scene for training their drama students.

[gdwme]

I can't believe this wasn't shown on the 40th anniversary. What were they thinking? I remember watching this when it was first shown. I was in awe.

[americanson2002]

brilliant!

[judithellenlicht]

thanks, she really is. :)
