LAURA- Is not DEAD. She is not DEAD. She was traveling with Brooke, another fail story line in AMC.

@Whiteboymdew That is the other Laura. Brooke has two daughters named Laura, one died, the other one travels with her.

Julia Barr deserved a Daytime Emmy for just this scene alone. I hope she got one that year.

Julia Barr and Kate Collins were AMC's best actresses, and yet, always in the shadow of the very limited theatrics of Susan Lucci. Not to diminish Lucci's star power, but the outrageous attention she got as her peers were turning out powerful scenes like this just goes to show why soaps have foundered. A good soap opera works as an ensemble and not any one actor's star showcase - may there be no more STARS on soap - only actors who are there to work and do away with superficial glamour..

Julia did not win her first Emmy for these scenes, in fact she wasn't even nominated this year, which was noted as a MAJOR oversight by the magazines at the time. She was nominated the next year - 1989 for the scenes after she found out that Dixie was carrying Adam's child, and she won. She won in 1990 for work in 1989 and 1998 for work in 1997 (plane crash aftermath.)  She really should have been lead actress in both years, and she really should have three Emmys.

Julia Barr for me is the best actress AMC has ever had. Even David Canary has said so in all his interviews. Finally, the idiots that run ABC came back to thier sences and brought Brooke back for the end of the show!

this still makes me cry today! :(

@eric442 This scene got Barr her first Emmy. The second Emmy for Supporting Actress (both were in that category) came from scenes submitted in the aftermath from the plane crash which left Maria "dead"

Hope that helps ;)

@blizzytiger I beleive she did! According to her SOAPNet SOAPOGRAPHY, this was her first or second daytime Emmy win!
