Victoria Rowell

Victoria: I hope in the future, daytime will consider more Hispanic, Asian, and black actors, directors, and producers to participate in this rich performance arena...to give shows a true depiction of what the world really looks like.

Victoria (on rumors that she left Y&R due to a lack of a pre-Emmy nomination): It wasn't the reason there were other contributing factors, but it was the catalyst. Clearly, the voting system is contaminated. Other actors were left off of the ballot as well that deserved to be included. My peers on other programs were in effect denied the opportunity to vote for work based on merit rather than "in-house" popularity. TV Guide and The Los Angeles Times hav ewritten smart articles about daytime voting. The Emmy, which is the highest televised recognition, translates into advertising dollars, I would think. What I don't understnad is when a corporation does not intercept the practice of a voting system that helps a company lose. My recommentation: that the voting system be responsibly redesigned.

Victoria Rowell (her favourite designers): I love Leona Edmiston. She happens to be Australian, and her showroom is in LA. I wear a lot of her stuff. The fashion people in Australia will be familiar with her. She has beautiful things.
