Laurie Heineman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laurie Heineman is an American actress probably best known for originating the role of Sharlene Frame on Another World. She played the role from 1975 to 1977 and was awarded the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama Series in 1978. She beat out fellow cast members Beverlee McKinsey (Iris) and Victoria Wyndham (Rachel) who had also been nominated that same year. Ironically, when the role of Sharlene was recast years later, actress Anna Kathryn Holbrook also won a Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Supporting Actress for her performance (1996).
Heineman had an earlier daytime role on As the World Turns (as Mary Jackson, 1961-1966). She appeared in the 1973 film Save the Tiger. She has also made periodic guest appearances on such primetime series as Kaz, Lou Grant, Hart to Hart, and The Incredible Hulk.
