The (Unbelievable) Fringe Benefits of Being A Soap Star (SOD 10/20)
What Perks?
Lesley-Anne Down
...AKA: Olivia on Sunset Beach
For some reason beyond our comprehension, SB's Lesley-Anne Down (Olivia) has been left out of the perkdom posse. Tragically, the actress reports, "I can't say that when I go to Ralphs [an L.A. supermarket chain], I get a discount because they recognize me, even though they do. And as far as being bumped up to first class, I was. But that's just because I was pregnant. I don't think they had any idea at all who I was."
What about the traffic citation thing? Surely a cop looked the other way at least once? "I do the speed limit, so I don't ever get tickets," reports the responsible motoist. "The only time I ever did get a ticket, I waved to a policeman as I did this illegal U-turn that I had no idea was illegal. It was a completely broken line in the middle of a side street. There was a fire statioon down the road, and apparently, you can't do a U-turn two miles from a fire station. He gave me a ticket and made me go to traffic school." Lesley-Anne, we feel your pain.
