‘Santa Barbara’s Marcy Walker & A Martinez Reunite to Celebrate 40th Anniversary

Over 50 actors, producers, writers, directors, network executives and other personnel from the gone-but-never-forgotten soap opera Santa Barbara gathered at The Colony Theater in Burbank about a week ago to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of the NBC daytime serial that premiered on July 30, 1984. The gathering served as a benefit for the Conasauga Shakespeare Coalition, whose artistic director is Lane Davies (Mason Capwell).

As moderator of the event’s Q&A, I was able to catch up with many of the show’s cast on the gala’s pre-show red carpet.
