The second soap spin-off from `Another World' sent Bay City viper Iris Wheeler down South, where her softer side emerged amid a rivalry between her new beau and an old flame. NBC hoped to run `Texas' against `Dallas' if it struck gold, but slow ratings and scathing reviews nixed the show's move to prime time. It was canned on New Year's Eve 1982 (the same day as `The Doctors').
  • Daytime Great Beverlee McKinsey Dead at 72 | Soaps News | 5/5/2008
    From the Los Angeles Times:"Beverlee McKinsey died May 2nd, 2008, in Los Angeles from complications due to a kidney transplant. She was 72 years old. Ms. McKinsey was an actor best known for roles in daytime television. She created the character Iris Carrington on NBC's Another World, and played the part from 1970-1979. She also created the role of Alexandra Spaulding on CBS' Guiding Light, and performed it from 1984-1992. In 1980, NBC developed the program Texas to capitalize on the popularity of her character, Iris Carrington; and Ms. McKinsey was the first and only performer in the history of daytime drama to receive star billing. "In 1998, the editors of Soap Opera Magazine voted her the best actor in the history of daytime television. TV Guide's Michael Logan wrote of her in 1992, 'For my money, Beverlee McKinsey is the greatest actress ever to grace daytime drama.'"GuidingLight.net will feature a vintage "Alexandra" clip in the coming weeks as a tribute to McKinsey. read more
