Today, Live with Michael Learned, picking up where we left off on Monday, sans tech issues 🤞 and now, friends. 

Michael's first series regular audition was for the role of a lifetime and would define a lifetime as Olivia Walton on the hit series "The Waltons," a role she was told would probably not continue beyond the pilot.  The cast of the Waltons is soon to celebrate their 50th anniversary of the hit series that ran for a decade, making Michael the quintessential TV Mom, as Olivia Walton, beating Shirley Partridge by 6 years, Carol Brady by 4 years, and even Caroline Ingles by 1 year. In addition, she became a fixture in Daytime Television for her regular roles on General Hospital, The Young & the Restless, as well as a cross-over character (Hon Judge Turner) in both One Life to Live and All My Children. Michael can be seen in the film, Second Acts, and is joining the cast of Monster (working title) as a lead in the limited series about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, co-created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan that was greenlighted by Netflix last fall. She joins Murphy regular Evan Peters as Dahmer and Richard Jenkins and Penelope Ann Miller as his parents.

Prior to Covid, Michael Learned received the Best Actress Award at SOHO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL and Best Actress at the Hollywood Women’s Film Festival for SECOND ACTS.  Learned was then Honored at the Las Vegas MegaFest International Film Festival with a Lifetime Achievement Award following a screening of the film earlier this year. 

Other TV credits include  Nurse, Scrubs, General Hospital, Who’s The Boss, and Murder She Wrote, to name but a few.

On stage, she has starred in Steel Magnolias, performed in the national tour of On Golden Pond, and in Lewis Black’s, One Slight Hitch. Other theatre credits include Elizabeth the Queen at the Folger Shakespeare Library and Edward Albee's All Over at the Gramercy and McCarter Theatres. She starred in the West Coast premieres of  “Woman in Mind" and "Hapgood," both for the American Conservatory Theatre Co, for whom she was the leading lady for three years. Her Broadway appearances include Gore Vidal's The Best Man, Wendy Wasserstein’s, The Sisters Rosenweig, and the Broadway production of The Out Going Tide,  followed by the successful production of "The Outgoing Tide" in New York and a tour with Driving Miss Daisy.

Can’t wait to sit down again with America’s most iconic mom, who’s also a stellar woman!

Today, Monday, LIVE - Michael Learned ~ Special Day for a Special Person

Michael Learned was scheduled to appear at Women Who Write in my living room on Tues March 31st with Marcus Eaton, Leland Sklar & Judith Owen. The pandemic lockdown kind of got in our way. Here, now, 26 months later, the four-time Emmy winner, People's Choice recipient, and multiple Golden Globe nominee, will be visiting my virtual living room, and y’all are invited. Monday, ‘stead of Wednesday, cause she’s Michael Learned, so we bend.
