Genie Francis Biography

Bitten by the acting bug in her early teens Francis reportedly begged her father Broadway stage actor Ivor Francis to pass along her junior high school yearbook photo to his agent. Once her picture made the rounds among casting offices it did not take long for Hollywood to come knocking.
Thanks to her fresh-faced radiance and all-American girl good looks the 14-year-old Francis got auditions almost immediately. Within a year Francis landed her first major credit an episodic guest starring role in one of the era's most acclaimed television dramas Family. No small feat this the role led directly to Francis's most famous role - that of the beautiful wholesome Laura Vining Webber on daytime's longest-running soap General Hospital.
With the storyline of Luke and Laura the show's ratings skyrocketed. To many however the ultimate sign of having arrived came in the early 1980's when America's king of late-night Johnny Carson himself incorporated Luke and Laura material in his monologues. The Nov. 16 1981 wedding of Luke and Laura remained the most-watched daytime TV event in history and stood as a high watermark of early 1980's soap drama.
