Felicia Gallant (born Fanny Grady; formerly St. George,Lindquist, Blake and Castigliano) is a fictional character on the NBC soap opera Another World. The character is a professional romance novelist who lives in Bay City.
The character was modeled after real-life romance novelist Jacqueline Susann. Head-writer Robert Soderbergh had been friends with Susann before her death in the 1970s and regularly spoke at length with Linda Dano about Susann's passion for living.
Felicia was played by Linda Dano from 1982 until the show's cancellation in 1999. Dano won a Daytime Emmy award for her performance in 1993.
Famous quotes containing the word gallant:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
