Vanessa Bennett on All My Children

Marj Dusay photo Daytime Emmy Award-nominee Marj Dusay joined the cast of "All My Children" in the role of Vanessa Bennett in February, 1999. Vanessa may be seen as pure evil, but all she really wants is the love of her sons.

A Daytime favorite, Ms. Dusay has appeared on such Daytime dramas as "Santa Barbara" (1987-1988) and "Capitol" (1983-1986), but she is best known to Daytime audiences for her portrayal as Alexandra Spaulding on "Guiding Light" from 1993-1997 and again in 1998. In 1995 it was this role that garnered her a Daytime Emmy nomination as Outstanding Actress.

Ms. Dusay, born Marjorie Ellen Pivonka Mahoney in Russell, Kansas, began her career in the ground-breaking, L.A.-based improvisational comedy group, The Session, with Rob Reiner and Richard Dreyfuss. Her motion picture debut was with Elvis Presley in "Clambake." Her other feature film credits include "MacArthur," "Breezy," "Made in Heaven," "Love Walked In," "Sweet November" and "Pride and Loyalty," released in 2001.

Along with being accomplished on the stage, this prolific actress has had lead roles in such series as "Facts of Life," "Sons and Daughters," "Bret Maverick," "Studio 5-B" and "Cliff Hangers." She has also guest-starred in over 150 television series, including "WKRP in Cincinnati," "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," "Heat of the Night," "Perfect Strangers," "Murder, She Wrote," "Dallas" and "Star Trek." Her television work also includes miniseries credits in "Daughters of Privilege," "Wheels" and "Fire in the Sky."

Ms. Dusay served as the Kansas Film Commissioner from 1984-98 and is still active in the organization's efforts to bring the film world to her home state of Kansas. An avid golfer, she resides in Manhattan and is the mother of actress Debra Dusay Blocker and the late Randall Dusay -- who died of AIDS in 1993 -- and grandmother to Deena Randall Blocker.
