Susan Sullivan Biography

An Emmy-nominated performer named Susan Sullivan has shown a comparable aptitude for dramatization or parody. She is most known for eight years as Maggie Gioberti on the prime-time drama Falcon Crest, modeled after Dallas and Dynasty. However, she has also shown her comic skills on sitcoms like It's a Living and The George Carlin Show. She was born Susan Michaela Sullivan in New York City in 1942 (some sources indicate 1944), and in the middle of the 1960s, she positioned herself for school by posing as a Playboy bunny. Sullivan was undoubtedly one of the original Playboy rabbits employed by the newly established Playboy Club in New York; as she has recalled in interviews, this was a very mentally significant and goal-oriented exhibit of women to some extent different from what the Playboy rabbits thus got a considerable number of them trying to vocations in law and other callings and financing their instruction by working at the club. Her television career began when she joined the daytime drama Another World cast, playing Lenore Curtin for four seasons. Sullivan, who worked in New York, was appearing in an off-Broadway production when a worker saw her and offered to talk with her in case she relocated to Hollywood. She realized this and so began her career in prime-time television. Before taking on the role that would establish her acting credentials as Peter Strauss' sweetheart in Rich Man Poor Man— Book II (1976), which earned her an Emmy designation, Sullivan appeared on TV shows like Medical Center McMillan and Wife Kojak and Petrocelli during the mid-'70s. She was sometimes billed as Susan J. Sullivan right away in her career to distinguish herself from another late-'60s on-screen character named Susan Sullivan. The same year, she transitioned from supporting to leading roles, playing opposite Charlton Heston in Jack Smight's short film Midway. Despite having only ten minutes of screen time, she had the best and most prominently featured scenes in the movie, which was otherwise largely devoid of character development and depth. Sullivan's sequences were missing from every film's home video release until the October 2001 DVD edition of Midway, which featured her recording. Her arrangements were only used for the two-section TV form of the film, suggesting that dramatic crowds never noticed her. She spent most of the remaining '70s arranging fantastic visitor-featuring positions. She demonstrated her suitability for getting laughs and being explicitly provocative at the same time while portraying an affectionately savage showy operator in Taxi, for instance. She gave an outstanding emotional performance in the Incredible Hulk pilot film while playing an exploration researcher and David Banner's companion who is ill (Bill Bixby). Her fame continued to rise when she was given the leading role as a gynecologist in the made-for-TV movie Having Babies and a sequel, which led to Sullivan taking the lead role in the subsequent ABC production of an identical name. From then on, she was cast in the sitcom. It's Living as the most intelligent and sensible waiter in an elite restaurant. Sullivan obtained the central role of Maggie Gioberti in the dramatization of Falcon Crest after leaving. It's a Living in 1981, a position she played for eight seasons. Since quitting that arrangement in 1989, Sullivan has continued to act in parodies and shows and appeared on TV for many good causes, including stepping in as the commercial spokesman for Tylenol every year before the start of its run. She appeared as a co-star on The George Carlin Show and in sitcoms including Dharma and Greg.
