News About Cady McClain

Cady McClain (Dixie, ALL MY CHILDREN; Rosanna, AS THE
WORLD TURNS) is self-publishing her memoir, titled Murdering My Youth.
And the actress is having a contest in which fans can vote on what the
final cover will be! Click
here to pick your favorite!
"The book is a series of my memories about growing up in an alcoholic
environment," McClain shares with Soaps In Depth. "It is also a
raw, brutally honest look at what being in 'show business' can entail
for a young girl and the extremely close relationship I had with my
mother."
The two-time Emmy winner says that she's been told that the book
should come with a warning. "There's a lot of violence in it," she
allows.
What led McClain to join the list of soap stars who've chronicled
their life stories? "I was inspired by a woman who asked me to be the
keynote speaker at her writers' conference in Kansas City called Write
The Dream," she says. "She had followed my blogs throughout the years
and offered to help me self-publish this book. Her encouragement was a
huge part of me letting this story out into the world. I hope it
inspires others to tell their story or at least to not feel so alone
with their experiences."
McClain will be signing copies of Murdering My Youth at the
Write The Dream Conference in Kansas City, MO, on Friday, March 7. Click
this link for more
information. And as the keynote speaker, she will be encouraging her
audience to find their voice via a method she calls "dreaming your way
to a great, personal story. It's basically like taking a person's psyche
and putting it in the structure of a fairy tale or myth."

Hello all!
I have good news and not so good news... if you read my blog you will be up on all this so just ignore, otherwise, here goes...
Lets have the good news first, shall we? I got a LOVELY review for the work I did in the film “Home Movie”. Here is the best part…
“…the sublime and subdued Cady McClain plays her character with equal parts strength and vulnerability, giving her turn as a mother/psychologist
the genuine pain of a mother intent on protecting her increasingly dangerous children. If this woman can’t get more solid work in feature
films after HOME MOVIE, then I’m not sure what’s going on. Many fine actresses have come from daytime sudsers including Julianne Moore, Meg
Ryan and Marissa Tomei. I can see her becoming a much sought after character actress in film for year’s to come after this.”
Thank you very much Ryan Bruce Levy. The film is also being distributed by
IFC in the states, so you may very well find it “on demand” or coming to a
cable channel near you one of these days! I am indeed very proud of my
work in this film.
Here is the bad news. Due to personal reasons, a key member of my band is
no longer going to be able to play with me. This means I have to cancel a
couple of my gigs, as it is too late to find an adequate replacement.
Prohibition (this Monday the 21st) and Alphabet Lounge (August 2nd) are
out for sure. I am going to try to play Rockwood Music Hall so please hang
on to that date… August 15th, 6pm… I will keep you informed!
So sorry to disappoint any of you who had made specific plans, but life
has its curve balls and I guess one has to go with the flow and hope for
the best, right? I will continue to keep you updated on my latest!
Thanks as always for all your support!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my latest projects! I hope all
is well in your life, and I hope I will get the chance to see you at one
of these exciting events!
Thank you for all your support!
Yours,
Cady This was received from Cady April 9th,
2008:
Dear All,
As some of you may know, ABC asked me to return as "Dixie" for a little
while, to help resolve the "Kate" storyline. I was very happy to receive the
phone call, and hope that it will lay to rest some of the anxiety that has been
around that issue. Even though it is only for a limited time, I think that it
will be a fun, playful, and ultimately satisfying experience for you, the
audience. I start working next week, but the air date is sometime in early May.
I hope you get a chance to check it out!
Meanwhile, the indie film I did with none other then James Kiberd is out
and doing well. It is very touching for both Veterans and their families, and
even though I am not related to any Vets, I found it quite a moving experience.
You can check it out at
http://www.soldiersheartthemovie.com
At the end of April, on Sunday the 27th, I am going to be on a panel for
a discussion on acceptance and rejection which is part of an "Art and
Spirituality" conference held every year at The Wisdom House in Litchfield, CT.
There will be all kinds of artists there discussing the process. Perhaps you
will join me for what is sure to be an interesting afternoon. Here is their
website: www.wisdomhouse.org
Lastly, I have a book out that I am very proud of. It is called
"Conversations with the Invisible.” It is filled with poetry and art I have been
working on over many years, and is the first of three books. The theme of
"Conversations" is emotional pain brought about by denial of one's true self,
either by circumstance or happenstance. It is not a book for children, let's be
clear, but for adults who struggle with their own issues, and perhaps find art a
soothing and cathartic avenue. It is available at
http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/191810
Thank you for your interest and support of my work. I am truly grateful.
Wishing you a beautiful spring!
Cady McClain
PS: My music is being included in a play called "Crazy Faith!” More on
that soon!
You wanted it, you got it! Cady McClain
returns to All My Children as Dixie Cooney Martin on Friday, May 2.
Dixie is back in Pine Valley with a mission: She's reuniting Tad with
their long missing daughter, Kate!
As the audience knows, Kate was stolen at birth, put up for adoption and now
lives with Nurse Julia Keefer under the name of Kathy. Only Adam
Chandler--Dixie's evil ex-husband and Tad's lifelong enemy--knows the
truth that Kathy is Tad and Dixie's child.
When last seen in January 2007, Dixie fell victim to a serial killer. Her ghost
watched as Tad received a comforting hug from Kathy. It was then that Dixie
realized Kathy was really her daughter. Now with her angelic
hand, Dixie will guide Tad into the loving embrace of their little girl.
This is drama you can't miss!

According to Cady's blog, she is happy and healthy! She had a
fibroid tumor removed in February (they are not malignant). She is vacationing
in California and excited about the election.
Cady has left ATWT. Below is a letter
she sent via the ATWT Fan Club in January.
Dear All,
Thank you so much for writing in. I truly appreciate your keeping in touch and
your support of my work. It’s been an interesting year to say the least, but I
have a feeling 2008 is going to be even MORE interesting!
I would love it if you checked in with me at my website
http://www.cadymcclain.com/blog
I will be keeping everyone up to date on my latest plans, projects and
adventures there.
I just finished editing a book of my artwork and poems (the first of three)
called “Conversations with the Invisible” and it will be available soon through
my website!
I hope your New Year is full of fun, love and dreams come true.
Love and thanks always,
Cady

From soaps.com
A
couple of weeks ago, Cady McClain, Rosanna on As The World Turns announced she
would be leaving the soap sooner rather than later. On her blog, Cady noted that
the show had decided to wrap the Rosanna storyline faster than they anticipated.
(You can read that story below).
When news began to spread that Cady was leaving ATWT, fans in Pine Valley began
to talk about a possible Dixie return.
Last February, Cady's Dixie was unceremoniously killed off by Alexander Cambias
with a batch of poisoned peanut butter pancakes. Fans were incensed at the time.
Now many are hoping that The Powers That Be at ABC Daytime will rethink Dixie's
death and bring her back for a Tad/Dixie/Kate storyline.
Here is what a few of the Pine Valley Faithful have had to say here.
AllForBabe wrote, "In soap land people come back from the dead all the time, so
why can't Dixie? The doors are now opened, at least halfway. I hope to God that
the AMC powers that be beg and plead with her to get her to return, especially
in time for Kate's reveal."
Thuud wrote, "I am another whom will be eternally grateful if they bring
Dixie/Cady back and do the story justice this time."
Ezra511 wrote, "I think the best way to bring her back, is to bring David back,
who could have been hiding in PV at the time of her death, have had administered
her some medication that would have restarted her heart. (He was a miracle
cardiologist remember guys/gals.) I hope with all hopes they are hands and knees
to bring her back!!!"
K8ecup wrote, "That would be great!! Especially for Kate and plus JR is going to
need her very soon when he hits rock bottom!!"
For her part, Cady hasn't said much about a return to AMC. On her blog last
February she wrote that she doubted a Pine Valley return was in the cards
because the character bio of Dixie had been removed from the ABC website. (The
Dixie character bio is still missing, but then so are a lot of Pine Valley
characters the fans might remember as well as a few new additions.)
A few rumors have begun to circulate that indicate a character may be returning
from the dead - and that return will shock many fans.
Will Dixie return to Pine Valley to help Tad find their missing daughter Kate?
We'll have to watch, wait and see.
Cady McClain's Rosanna has only been back in Oakdale, after a two year coma, for
a few months but already it looks as if her stay will be short lived. Cady
posted in her official blog last week that the "Rosanna" storyline was going to
wrap up sooner than originally thought.
"I have sad news. [The Powers That Be] are wrapping up the Rosanna storyline
early. I was slated to work through February, but the story took a dramatic turn
that will alter that plan," wrote Cady on her blog. You can read the entire post
here. She went on to write, "I have always been open to all possibilities, even
this one, but I will be sad to have to say goodbye so soon."
As soon as word leaked earlier this year that Cady was leaving All My Children,
fans began buzzing about the possibilities that Cady would land in Oakdale to
reprise the Rosanna role. When her first episodes aired early this summer fans
were ecstatic. Those feelings cooled quickly, however, when Post-Coma-Rosanna
began to seem very different than Pre-Coma-Rosanna.
In years past, Rosanna was a strong woman who wasn't dependent on a man for
anything. But it became clear very early that she was very attached and
dependent upon Paul. Fans thought this was very un-Rosanna like.
Kare Bear said, "I couldn't believe she married Paul after hearing him and Meg
in the graveyard. Her character was always much stronger than that and it didn't
make sense."
Several other fans agreed with that statement. A few have mentioned the
possibility of Cady returning to her fan-favorite role as Dixie Cooney Martin on
AMC. There is no word from either camp about what is next for Cady or the
characters she has created on daytime television.
On her blog, Cady wrote that even she isn't sure where she will go or what she
will do next, but says she is looking forward to the New Year.
Soaps.com has not received word when the Rosanna storyline will wrap. We'll keep
you all posted on this as the story develops.
Whatever the future holds for Cady - and Rosanna! - we wish her only the best.
Good luck, Cady!
GREAT NEWS!! Cady is returning to As The World Turns as
Rosanna!!
Check out Cady's ABC

On "All My Children", crazy Janet wrote "Dixie lives", so that
created rumors about Dixie's return. I hope they don't recast!
