Emmy-winning actress Jackee Harry is joining “Days of our Lives.” The actress shared the exciting news on NBC’s morning show “Today.”
“She’s fabulous,” Harry said of her character. “You know I play the fabulous woman you know that…. It’s a brand-new storyline with African Americans. And they’ve been at the forefront of hiring minorities; they have a lot of diversity on “Days of our Lives. I don’t want to give away the storyline but I have a daughter and, you know, ain’t nothing but trouble in River City. But I’m told I’ll be fabulous, you know, everything…. I started on ANOTHER WORLD…. That was my very first job on TV and I had two lines: ‘Who is it? Oh, it’s you.’ ”
