DAYTIME ACTORS LEND VOICES OF HOPE FOR HURRICANE VICTIMS When hurricanes Katrina and Rita slammed into the US Gulf coast in August and September of 2005, homes were ruined and lives shattered. Like so many people around the world, ABC Daytime star Robin Strasser (“Dorian Lord” One Life To Live) saw the images of devastation on her television screen and was moved to help. With the guidance of One Life To Live’s Emmy-winning Music Director, Ms. Strasser rallied her fellow actors to do what they do best: perform.

The One Life To Live cast is one of the most versatile and talented groups in daytime. When not busy on the soap set, their outside projects run the gamut from the Broadway musical stage to cabaret acts; from film roles to recording CD’s; from primetime television to Shakespeare. Ms. Strasser called on her cast mates to put their unique talents to work, and the result is a CD called One Life, Many Voices. It is a collection of song and spoken word, and 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the CD will go to hurricane relief efforts. The CD will be available for pre-order at midnight, November 23, 2005. For ordering information and to hear clips from the CD click the banner below.
