Judith Light: From 80’s Soap Opera Star, To The “Wilderness Years”, To Acting Redemption | Guy Raz

Judith Light, acting icon, sits down to share her personal journey of perseverance and revival. Delving into the "wilderness years" post 80’s stardom, she candidly discusses the fear, doubt, and the relentless drive that propelled her back into the limelight. This episode unveils the behind-the-scenes of a genuine acting redemption story - a powerful testament to Judith's spirit and passion for her craft. 🎵 About Judith Light: When *Judith Light* became an actor, she swore she'd never do a soap opera or a sitcom. She didn't see it as serious acting. But her roles as Karen Wolek on the soap One Life to Live and Angela Bower on the sitcom Who's the Boss? forever changed her views on those genres, and made her a star. In this episode, she tells Guy how, after early success on TV, she struggled to find her way back on to the stage. She also discussed how she learned to believe in her abilities, leading to several Emmy and Tony Award winning performances.
