Phoebe Tyler on All My Children

Ruth Warrick photo Ms. Warrick has been playing the role of Phoebe Tyler since the show's inception in 1970. As the matriarch of Pine Valley, Phoebe is always there to lend her support and wisdom to her family and friends.

Mr. Warrick may be best known for her role in the film "Citizen Kane," portraying the wife Orson Welles.

This landmark film had its 50th anniversary in 1991 and, to celebrate it, Ms. Warrick was honored with a caricature on the wall of the famed New York restaurant, Sardi's. "Citizen Kane" marked Ms. Warrick's entry into Hollywood. That was followed by some 20 other movies (including "The Great Bank Robbery"), a long run as Hannah Cord in "Peyton Place" -- and an Emmy nomination -- five years on "As the World Turns," a starring role in the television series "Father of the Bride," guest starring roles on television and a long list of plays. Ruth Warrick is a lady who likes to stay busy.

Ms. Warrick is no stranger to Broadway. She appeared with Jackie Gleason in the musical "Take Me Along," and in a featured role in "Pal Joey." She also played on Broadway and on tour in the hit play "Irene." In regional theater she starred in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and in "Long Day's Journey Into Night." She also toured as Anna in "The King and I."

Her popular and fascinating autobiography, "The Confessions of Phoebe Tyler," discusses the character of Phoebe in "All My Children," as well as Ms. Warrick's life as an actress in New York and Hollywood. The book, which she wrote with Don Preston, was published in 1980 by Prentice-Hall.

Ms. Warrick has guest starred on "The Love Boat" and in the "ABC After School Specials." She also played the familiar role of Hannah Cord in the 1985 made-for-television movie, "Return to Peyton Place." More recently, on stage she starred in a production of "Butterflies Are Free" at Montclair (N.J.) State College, and in James Kirkwood's "Legends" at Tiffany's Attic Dinner Playhouse in Kansas City, MO.

Long active in arts-in-education programs, including programs for the disadvantaged in the Watts area of Los Angeles, Ms. Walker received the first national Arts in Education Award in 1983 from the Board of Directors of Business and Industry for Arts in Education, Inc. She was cited for leadership in helping to make the arts more central to the schooling process. The award was then named the Ruth Warrick Award for Arts in Education and is now given annually.

In Watts Ms. Warrick was a co-founder of Operation Bootstrap, where she taught communication skills. In New York City she taught at Julia Richman High School as part of President Carter's "City in Schools" program. She has been a Dropout Prevention consultant for the Department of Labor under President John F. Kennedy, and for the Job Training Corps under President Johnson.

She is a founding Board member of Business & Industry for the Arts in Education, and Humanitarian Award is given each year in her name. She is on the Board of Regents of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and is an honored patron of Jobs for Youth. In 1995 she was given the first St. Joseph Proud Award.

In 1991 Ms. Warrick received her certification as a licensed metaphysical teacher from Unity School of Practical Christianity in Lees Summit, MO.

Born in St. Joseph, MO, Ms. Warrick moved to Kansas City while she was in high school and later attended the University of Kansas City. A promotional tour brought her to New York, where her interest in acting brought her to the Mercury Theater, headed by Orson Welles, with whom she ultimately headed for Hollywood.
