WHERE ARE THEY NOW: JACKEE HARRY (LILY; ANOTHER WORLD)

In 1983, Jackee Harry was scheduled to say two lines on Another World as prostitute Lily Mason, aunt of Thomasina, the young woman Quinn (played by Petronia Paley) wanted to adopt. (That makes Lily the great-aunt of Another World Today's current character, GQ Todd.)

Those two lines turned into a three year contract, and America's introduction to the unique, comedic/dramatic talent that would eventually take prime-time by storm on 227, Sister, Sister and more.

Another World Today spoke with Jackee Harry to reminisce about her time in Bay City, and to catch up with what she is doing now.

This is wonderful. Thanks so much for posting this interview with Jackee, who was one of my favorites on Another World. That show had so many rich characters played by wonderful actors.

With the 30th anniversary of Texas' debut rapidly approaching, any chance you could connect with real-life couple Carla Borelli and Donald May? I would love to hear Ms. Borelli's memories of working with the late Beverlee McKinsey and Elizabeth Allen and her thoughts on how the show developed. After a wobbly start, the show had so much promise when it was cancelled. The acting was superb throughout. I still get a charge out of watching the early Reena and Vicki battles on You Tube.
