I'm asking about all time. Of course the era makes a difference. That's also true when we talk about the greatest presidents. . . . An example of influence is Ellen Shepard, played by Kathleen Noone, on AMC in the 1970s. Ellen was one of the first divorced women ever portrayed on daytime. And her character was a single mother raising a teenaged daughter who became pregnant. Ellen had to figure out a career, parenthood, and romance. She brought realism to the show. Though I was just a kid at the time, I remember the older women around me watching Ellen intently because, in some cases, they longed for the freedom she represented.
