I believe she had 4 Emmy nominations.

Alex is right about what Eric & the lives he destroyed, but she's wrong about Mindy & Nick.

@christopherhoughton1 Amen on all fronts!

Bev was the best actress on daytime television I think ever -- and she had great chemistry with Vincent Irizarry. From 88 to 93 GL was the best show on daytime, bar none.

Beverlee is such a powerhouse.....she added such depth, heart, soul, strength, etc. to a role that could've easily been dispensable if originated by someone else....Beverlee is one of daytime's greatest!

LMAO!!! Funny about Lucci. Beverly is a powerhouse!!! Only one other actress delivers and that is Jane Elliot- Tracy Quartermaine. Nick stop being stupid and wake up. The skank lied deal with it!!

She was nominated four times for Another World. She never received a nomination for Guiding Light. And she admited that she was initiallly that she wasn't nomitated in 1992, just a few months before she left the show. It makes the Daytime Emmys kinda pointless that one of soaps greatest actresses never won.

She was the best actress and I loved her on Guiding Light

Beverlee was one of the greatest of the soap opera queens when the stories had real substance.  I think she played two of the greatest bitchy characters ever, Alex and Iris. RIP
