Brandon's Buzz

An entire generation of us crazy soap fans will forever adore her for her work as the original Lorna Devon --- the badass chick with the tough exterior above and the tender heart below --- on NBC's late, lamented daytime classic Another World, but a great many of us never understood the full extent of the pain that has driven her rich, riveting work in her two-plus decades as an actress.  But the brilliant ALICIA COPPOLA has just peeled back the veil of her personal pain with a shattering new memoir, Gracefully Gone --- which details her father's brutal decade-long battle with brain cancer, via alternating entries from his journal and from her own --- and she is stopping by Brandon's Buzz to discuss the rigors of hopping a rocketship to Another World while fighting like hell to just keep putting one foot in front of the other in this one.
