Morgan is a superb performer, but there’s more to this talented actress than meets the eye. In
addition to her accomplishments as an actress, Morgan is an outspoken and dedicated supporter of
AIDS research efforts, the pro-choice movement and a great range of environmental issues, among
others. In 1995, Morgan completed a one-year commitment starring in the ABC network daytime

in drama lessons after she was too shy to give a book report in class. From the age of 10, she
performed in children’s and dinner theatre and stock productions in Dallas. This vigorous preparation
readied her for the key role of the paranoid murderess, Jennifer Pace Phillips, in the CBS-TV daytime

was the beginning of her television career. Following her stint on “Search for Tomorrow”, Morgan
