Before she started in show business, she won the title of Miss Alabama in 1974 . At the time she was attending the University Of North Alabama , and was involved in the Phi Mu Sorority . After graduation, she went to New York City and played Ashley Linden on '' Texas '' from 1981 to 1982 . It was after the show ended that Long, who had already proven herself capable of writing a soap by penning scripts for ''Texas'', moved to ''Guiding Light'' with former ''Texas'' executive producer Gail Kobe . Both of her stints were well-regarded and provided a renaissance for the aging show, at one point pushing the show's ratings to the #1 spot for three weeks in the summer of 1984 , dethroning then-powerhouse '' General Hospital '' from the top ratings spot. Long created some of GL's most memorable characters, like vixen Reva Shayne, haughty ice queen Alexandra Spaulding, and rough-around-the-edges ingenue Harley Davidson Cooper. When she left ''Guiding Light'' for the second time, she went on to write '' Santa Barbara '' and '' One Life To Live ''. Long was once married to actor Jay Hammer and was credited for a time as Pamela Long Hammer. EXTERNAL LINKS |
