Ihe Mother of My Children

摘要

There's a reason ah My Children actor David Canary calls the soap's 83-year-old creator, Agnes Nixon, "a wonderful person packed with the devil." The petite Nixon may be all smiles, but in her imagination lives a long cast of characters responsible for some of the most steamy relationships and deranged scheming in the history of daytime television. For her stories, Nixon draws deep. Erica Kane, the world's most iconic soap character, emerged from Nixon's own complicated relationship with her parents. As an only child of divorce growing up in Depression-era Nashville with virtually no contact with her father, Nixon knew what abandonment felt like.
