Ah, Morgan Fairchild ... what a name, isn't it?

Never liked her much though, but since I grew up in the 80ies and just loved to watch TV with my grandmother I've seen quite a lot of her work. Actually she's quite a good actress I have to admit.

So I sneaked over to imdb.com to get us some facts on Morgan's life & work ...

Date of Birth: 3 February 1950, Dallas, Texas, USA

Birth Name: Patsy Ann McClenny

Nickname: Little Bird

Height: 5' 4" (1.63 m)

Mini Biography

"You can never be too rich or too thin." This elegant lady defined the TV version of the rich, sophisticated businesswoman who knows what she wants, and will do whatever it takes to get it. She was born Patsy Ann McClenny on February 3, 1950, in Dallas, Texas. She began acting as a child, when her mother enrolled her in drama lessons after she was too shy to give a book report in class. From the age of 10, she performed in children's plays. Later she would do dinner theater and stock productions in Dallas. She chose Morgan as a stage name. In 1973, Morgan decided to pursue a career in television; just 6 weeks after moving to New York she landed the key role of Jennifer in the daytime series "Search for Tomorrow" (1951); she stayed on until 1977.

Morgan moved to Los Angeles, where she originated the role of Jenna Wade on the wildly popular nighttime soap "Dallas" (1978)(Jenna was later portrayed by Priscilla Presley). Morgan made numerous guest appearances on TV series. She played Constance (Weldon) Carlyle in "Flamingo Road" (1981), and she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress; that was her breakout show that propelled her to stardom.

Morgan continued to perform in live theater, her acclaimed portrayal of Skye in the off-Broadway comedy "Geniuses" helped make it one of the "Top Ten Plays" of the year according to Time Magazine and the New York Times. Other stage appearances have included productions of "Goodbye Charlie" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." On TV, she played the naughty Racine in the series "Paper Dolls" (1984) in 1984. Later, she starred in the TV series "Falcon Crest" (1981) from 1985-86, having made a niche for herself playing ambitious beauties. Morgan received an Emmy nomination for a special episode of "Murphy Brown" (1988).

Morgan has shared some of her beauty secrets by authoring the book "Super Looks" which is a complete guide that includes makeup, exercise, and diet tips. Morgan is a member of the Entertainment Industry AIDS Task Force. She is an active speaker on environmental issues and helped found the Environmental Communications Office, which encourages entertainment industry professionals to become better educated and more active on environmental issues. Morgan is a collector of movie memorabilia (particularly anything about Marilyn Monroe) and antique clothing. She is a ballet fan and is also interested in anthropology and paleontology; Morgan is truly a brainy beauty.
