Jill Larson is celebrating her 75th birthday today!
Larson was born on October 7, 1947, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is the daughter of Ruth Evangeline (née Boyce), an interior decorator, and John Charles Larson, an aerospace engineer. She has three sisters. Larson attended the same high school as Dorothy Lyman, who played Opal on All My Children before her. She enrolled at the University of Minnesota (eventually, she finished her education at Hunter College), and began singing in nightclubs with a group called Just Us. It was not long before Just Us was discovered and headed to New York City, where they recorded several soundtracks, including the one for the film, Rachel, Rachel, starring Joanne Woodward.
Today, Larson is best known for playing Opal Cortlandt on All My Children from 1989 – 2013. She also played Judith Clayton on As the World Turns, Ursula Blackwell on One Life to Live and Connie Ross on The Young and the Restless.
Please help us wish her a happy birthday!
