Susan Seaforth Hayes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Seaforth Hayes (born Susan Seaforth on July 11, 1943 in Oakland, California) is an American actress.
Seaforth Hayes grew up in the Hollywood environment; her mother, Elizabeth Harrower, was an actress and writer who eventually became a part of the writing team of The Young and the Restless.
Although Seaforth Hayes had a number of featured roles on primetime television, and was active in theater as a teenager, she is perhaps best known for her role as Julie Olson Williams on the American daytime television soap opera Days of our Lives. Seaforth Hayes played the role from 1968 to 1984 and again from 1990 to 1993, 1994, and 1996. She returned to the show with her real-life husband Bill Hayes (who also plays her husband on the show) in 1999, with recurring appearances since.
Her character's partnership with Bill Hayes's character, Doug Williams, is widely believed to be the first supercoupling on the American daytime serials.
In between roles, she guest-starred as Joanna Manning, mother to Tracey E. Bregman's character, Lauren Fenmore, on The Young and the Restless and as District Attorney Patricia Steele on Sunset Beach in that show's final months on the air.
In 2005, she and Hayes published their joint autobiography, "Like Sands Through The Hourglass".
