'''Beverlee McKinsey''' (August 9, 1935 – May 2, 2008) was an American actress. She is best known for her roles on daytime serials, including ] on '']'' and the spin-off series '']'' from 1972 to 1981 and ] on '']'' from 1984 to 1992.

McKinsey graduated from the ] in 1956 with a ] in Drama. Her professional career began in the New York theater. She understudied the leading role of newlywed Corie in the original ] production of '']'' and was given the opportunity to perform the role opposite ] several times. She also co-starred as Honey in the London production of '']'', starring ] and ]. She started her career in ] theater, often appearing alongside ] and ].{{Citation needed |date=September 2023}}
After several appearances in episodic television shows in the late 1960s, she landed her first contract role as Julie Richards on '']'' in 1970.


McKinsey moved to ] in the late 1960s, and after several appearances in episodic television shows, she appeared on daytime TV. She played Diana Martin, a reporter, on '']'', and was then cast in the contract role of Martha Donnelly/Julie Richards (1970–1971) on '']'' where she worked with future husband Berkeley Harris.
She made a brief appearance as Emma Frame on '']'' in May 1972. Her appearance so impressed the then-head writer of '']'', ], that he subsequently cast her in a drastically different role from dowdy Emma - that of manipulative, scheming Iris Cory. McKinsey played that role from December 1972 to July 1980, and also played Iris on ''Another World'' spinoff '']'' from August 1980 to November 1981. During much of her tenure on ''Another World'', McKinsey's portrayal of Iris was part of an unconventional triangle - the character was trying to break up her father and his new wife. When she appeared on '']'', she was given starring billing in the show's opening credits.


==Daytime television career==
After leaving the cast of '']'' in late 1981, McKinsey was wooed back to daytime by former '']'' producer ] to '']'', which Kobe was now producing. McKinsey played powerful Alexandra Spaulding on '']'' from 1984 until 1992.


===Iris Carrington===
McKinsey's exit from ''Guiding Light'' proved to be quite dramatic in its own right: leaving on a planned six-week vacation, McKinsey informed ] that she did not intend to return to the show. She had had an "out clause" meaning she could quit the show by giving six weeks' notice, a clause that even executive producer ] was unaware of.

McKinsey played the role from December 1972 to July 1980. During much of her tenure on ''Another World'', McKinsey's portrayal of Iris was part of an unconventional ] - the character was trying to break up her father Mackenzie Cory and his new wife, Rachel Davis Frame.
'']'' calls McKinsey one of the finest actresses ever to work on soap operas.


McKinsey was made the star of the soap's spin-off series, '']'', which debuted August 4, 1980. She remains one of three actors on daytime television to be given a star billing on a soap opera, the others being ] of '']'' and '']'', and ] of '']''.{{Citation needed |date=September 2023}}
In 2006, Procter & Gamble began making several of its soaps available through America Online's AOL Video service, downloadable free of charge. Reruns of '']'' episodes featuring McKinsey began with the show's first episode in August 1980.

After McKinsey left the role of Iris in November 1981, NBC's ''Texas'' eventually lost one million viewers in the ] and was canceled in 1982.{{Citation needed |date=September 2023}}

McKinsey received four ] nominations for her work as Iris.{{Citation needed |date=September 2023}}

===Alexandra Spaulding===
After a hiatus from daytime, ], then executive producer of '']'', lured McKinsey to ''Guiding Light'', on CBS, in February 1984 in the newly created character of wealthy matriarch Baroness Alexandra Spaulding Von Halkein.

As Alexandra, McKinsey's initial work was portraying Alexandra's love for power and the desire to best brother Alan Spaulding, as well as to reclaim the affection, love and approval of Lujack/Nick, her twin sons forcibly taken away from her at birth. Alexandra also cared deeply for her nephews, Phillip and Alan-Michael, but was irritated by Phillip's ex-wives, India and Blake.

While Alexandra could be a snob (and ruthless) at times, she also could let her hair down, as when she went bowling with then-beau ] (]). Her ruthlessness was revealed when Alexandra married ] (]), then subsequently discovered he was involved in an affair with the younger ]. The scene where Alexandra humiliates Roger in public at the Country Club is now considered a '']'' classic scene.<ref>{{YouTube|9qQbHpaYohc}}</ref>

In 1992, McKinsey took advantage of an out in her contract, and abruptly left GL. Soap journalist Michael Logan wrote about the turn of events:<blockquote>

Interviewing McKinsey was a dream. There were never any "I just love everyone I work with" cliches. After she exited ''Guiding Light'', McKinsey cited her "not very pleasant" work environment for one of the reasons she chose to leave the daytime serial. Looking at her contract, she discovered she could leave the show after every six-month period. So McKinsey took advantage of the contract the day before her annual eight-week vacation. McKinsey went on permanent vacation. McKinsey adamantly defended her choice to exit the show. Her bosses felt they had been bamboozled. "They're bent out of shape because, for once, somebody beat 'em at their own game," she said. "I had warned Jill (the show's then-executive producer ])&nbsp;– although I don't think she paid attention to me&nbsp;– that I was not happy. I was not happy with the story line." She had confided in Phelps previously that she was frustrated enough to quit, and was told in response that perhaps she should read her contract.

McKinsey later quipped that perhaps it was Phelps and the rest of the Guiding Light production team who should have read the contract. "They didn't read the contract! I read it very closely. I knew every word. The next day, they were all combing over the contract. Somebody said, 'Maybe Beverlee's not familiar with the contract.' Well, of course she was! She wrote it, you bozos. She wrote it! I've had this out clause since 1986. I asked for it and it was P&G that determined how much notice they wanted me to give&nbsp;– and they chose eight weeks."

In addition to her issues with storytelling, which she said would not have motivated her to leave if her working environment had been happier, McKinsey noted that acting had simply stopped being fun for her. "The hours just made me crazy. They were too long," she explained.<ref>{{cite web |author=SOD |authorlink=Soap Opera Digest |title=Wanted: ''GL''{{'}}s Beverlee McKinsey |url=https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/wanted-gls-beverlee-mckinsey-0/ |website=] |publisher=] |accessdate=November 10, 2020 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201110202928/https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/wanted-gls-beverlee-mckinsey-0/ |archivedate=November 10, 2020 |location=United States |date=January 22, 2004 |url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>

Beverlee McKinsey (August 9, 1935 – May 2, 2008) was an American actress. She is best known for her roles on daytime serials, including Iris Cory Carrington on Another World and the spin-off series Texas from 1972 to 1981 and Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light from 1984 to 1992.

Early life

McKinsey was born Beverlee Magruder in McAlester, Oklahoma, on August 9, 1935. She was the daughter of Warren and Jewell Magruder of McAlester.

McKinsey graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1956 with a bachelor's degree in Drama. Her professional career began in the New York theater. She understudied the leading role of newlywed Corie in the original Broadway production of Barefoot in the Park and was given the opportunity to perform the role opposite Robert Redford several times. She also co-starred as Honey in the London production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, starring Uta Hagen and Arthur Hill. She started her career in Off-Broadway theater, often appearing alongside James Earl Jones and Doris Belack.

McKinsey moved to Hollywood in the late 1960s, and after several appearances in episodic television shows, she appeared on daytime TV. She played Diana Martin, a reporter, on Love of Life, and was then cast in the contract role of Martha Donnelly/Julie Richards (1970–1971) on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing where she worked with future husband Berkeley Harris.

Daytime television career

Iris Carrington

After a brief appearance as Emma Frame on Another World in May 1972, she so impressed then-head writer Harding Lemay that he subsequently cast her in a drastically different role, from dowdy Emma to that of manipulative, scheming Iris Carrington. McKinsey played the role from December 1972 to July 1980. During much of her tenure on Another World, McKinsey's portrayal of Iris was part of an unconventional triangle - the character was trying to break up her father Mackenzie Cory and his new wife, Rachel Davis Frame.

McKinsey was made the star of the soap's spin-off series, Texas, which debuted August 4, 1980. She remains one of three actors on daytime television to be given a star billing on a soap opera, the others being Rosemary Prinz of All My Children and How to Survive a Marriage, and Dana Andrews of Bright Promise.

After McKinsey left the role of Iris in November 1981, NBC's Texas eventually lost one million viewers in the Nielsen ratings and was canceled in 1982.

McKinsey received four Daytime Emmy nominations for her work as Iris.

Alexandra Spaulding

After a hiatus from daytime, Gail Kobe, then executive producer of Guiding Light, lured McKinsey to Guiding Light, on CBS, in February 1984 in the newly created character of wealthy matriarch Baroness Alexandra Spaulding Von Halkein.

As Alexandra, McKinsey's initial work was portraying Alexandra's love for power and the desire to best brother Alan Spaulding, as well as to reclaim the affection, love and approval of Lujack/Nick, her twin sons forcibly taken away from her at birth. Alexandra also cared deeply for her nephews, Phillip and Alan-Michael, but was irritated by Phillip's ex-wives, India and Blake.

While Alexandra could be a snob (and ruthless) at times, she also could let her hair down, as when she went bowling with then-beau H.B. Lewis (Larry Gates). Her ruthlessness was revealed when Alexandra married Roger Thorpe (Michael Zaslow), then subsequently discovered he was involved in an affair with the younger Mindy Lewis. The scene where Alexandra humiliates Roger in public at the Country Club is now considered a Guiding Light classic scene.

In 1992, McKinsey took advantage of an out in her contract, and abruptly left GL. Soap journalist Michael Logan wrote about the turn of events:

Interviewing McKinsey was a dream. There were never any "I just love everyone I work with" cliches. After she exited Guiding Light, McKinsey cited her "not very pleasant" work environment for one of the reasons she chose to leave the daytime serial. Looking at her contract, she discovered she could leave the show after every six-month period. So McKinsey took advantage of the contract the day before her annual eight-week vacation. McKinsey went on permanent vacation. McKinsey adamantly defended her choice to exit the show. Her bosses felt they had been bamboozled. "They're bent out of shape because, for once, somebody beat 'em at their own game," she said. "I had warned Jill (the show's then-executive producer Jill Farren Phelps) – although I don't think she paid attention to me – that I was not happy. I was not happy with the story line." She had confided in Phelps previously that she was frustrated enough to quit, and was told in response that perhaps she should read her contract.

In 1994, she made a brief appearance as Myrna Slaughter on General Hospital. In an interview, she said she took the role to qualify for her medical insurance, but otherwise adamantly considered herself retired from soaps from that moment in 1992 when she last left the set of Guiding Light. She had resisted all entreaties to return to daytime television. After some health issues, including a kidney transplant, McKinsey retired to Southern California and made few public appearances. Michael Logan famously described McKinsey as " Greta Garbo look like a chatterbox!". Logan, TV Guide's soap columnist, once called McKinsey "…the greatest actress ever to grace daytime drama."
