From the May 2014 AARP Bulletin "A Boomer's Look at 'Another World,' Where Stars Were Born."
"The groundbreaking TV soap opera "Another World" debuted on NBC 50 years ago this month and remained a pop-culture fixture for 35 years. A lot of now-famous stars cut their acting teeth on the show. Here are just a few:"
MORGAN FREEMAN: Played Dr. Roy Bingham, a dignified architect in Bay City (1982-84). Breakout role: chauffeur Holt Colburn in "Driving Miss Daisy" in 1989. Now, at age 76: Johnny Depp's mentor in "Transcendence."
BRAD PITT: Played Chris, a high school basketball player (1987). Breakout Role: Geena Davis' hunky one-night stand in "Thelma & Louise (1991). Now at age 50: Producer of--and abolitionist laborer in acclaimed film "12 Years a Slave."
I have to say that I never watched it, but sure do recognize these names.
