Morgan Fairchild Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Morgan Fairchild is an American actress. Fairchild moved to Los Angeles and was cast as Jenna Wade in the television series Dallas in 1978, appearing in one episode (the role was later played by Priscilla Presley). Penthouse magazine had an article on Fairchild in the '70s in which her interest and prowess in martial arts was featured; the article stated "Watch out for Morgan Fairchild, she'll rip your face off." In the late '70s, she had a stint on Mork & Mindy and then shot to stardom as the resident vixen, Constance Weldon Carlyle, on the primetime soap opera Flamingo Road. Though the series had an impressive beginning, the ratings soon went down and it was canceled after two seasons. Nevertheless, Fairchild was now a household name and was nominated for a Golden Globe. In 1982 she played Jamie Douglas, a newscaster, in the sexy thriller The Seduction, where her riveting nude scene cemented her position as one of Hollywood's bad girls. In 1984 she headlined another series, Paper Dolls, where critics considered her the only bright spot, but poor ratings doomed the series. By this time she was established as a leading television actress and appeared in the series Falcon Crest. Fairchild garnered an Emmy Award nomination for her role in a Murphy Brown episode, and in the early 90s Roseanne producers capitalized on her name value and cast her in a small role as Sandra Bernhard's bisexual girlfriend. This proved that Fairchild is as adept at comedy as she is at drama. More recently, Fairchild has starred in the role of Mrs. Robinson in the play adaptation of the film The Graduate. This role drew media attention, as it includes a scene in which Fairchild appeared nude on stage. In 2005, Fairchild appeared in the competition reality show, But Can They Sing? on the VH1 network. | |||||||||||||
