Deidre has reigned as one of

the prestigious American Women in Radio and Television (AWRT) award in 1994,
won 5 Best Actress awards from Soap Opera Digest, as well as 3 Emmy Award

Her primetime work is extensive and
varied, including starring in the movie A Reason to Live with Peter
Fonda and Rick Schroeder and the 1986 series Our House with Wilford
Brimley and Shannen Doherty, in which she became the first performer to star
in daytime and primetime simultaneously.
The following two years after Our
House, Deidre took a break from daytime to pursue an exclusive career in
primetime. She returned to Days in 1991. In 1992, she made history
again, starring and executive producing, Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall

In 1996, she launched her own jewelry
line, The Timeless Collection, reflective of her own life as well as Marlena's.
The collection was available through the Home Shopping Network. Since becoming
a mother, Deidre has become a tireless advocate for children's issues. She has
