'Restless' actress to visit Aiken in support of Clinton campaign

[William769]

Actress, author and activist Victoria Rowell visits Aiken Saturday to drum up support for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Rowell, who became a household name through her longtime roles of Drusilla Winters on the CBS daytime drama "The Young and the Restless" and Dr. Bentley on the prime-time mystery series "Diagnosis Murder," will make Clinton campaign appearances in South Carolina all weekend, with other stops in Spartanburg, Anderson and Columbia. The meet-and-greet hosted by Hillary For President, South Carolina, will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Houndslake Country Club off Hitchcock Parkway.

"Aiken is a very important area for the Hillary campaign, as you may know one of our state co-chairs, Councilmember Lessie Price, is from Aiken, and this event Saturday night is an opportunity to energize and organize Hillary's supporters as well as to inform more people about why Hillary has the experience to make her the right choice for president who can lead from her first day in office," said Zac Wright, communications director for Hillary for President, South Carolina.

Rowell published her memoir, "The Women Who Raised Me," in April, detailing her relationships with the parents, teachers, mentors and especially foster parents who shaped her, and has completed a companion documentary called "The Mentor." She is a longtime advocate for children in the foster care system.

2. Uh oh.

There was a blind item about a soap that threw a farewell party for an actress that was leaving but didn't invite her. They were celebrating that she was gone. It is generally believed the rejoicing was at Y&R over the happy loss of VR.

3. What a headline!

I thought Linsey Lohan or one of those actresses in trouble with the law was going to visit that guy who came in second on American Idol!!!

This woman has a New England connection: Rowell holds honorary doctorates from the University of Southern Maine and from Wheelock College in Boston. She is an active supporter of the Children's Defense Fund, the Administration of Children's Services, New Yorkers for Children, the Alliance for Children's Rights, Hope WorldWide, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Urban League, Americans For the Arts, the Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, American Ballet Theater, and the School of American Ballet.



I see Aiken is in SC--maybe you should put this in that state forum too.
