CBS.COM: Do you have a favorite memory?
MARJ DUSAY: One of the most favorite things was with Michael Zaslow (ex-Roger). We had a scene together and I slapped him and during the rehearsal I said, ‘Why don't you just slap me back?’ It was a hit because how dare a man slap a woman, it never really happened so to have him do that it really brought [audiences] to a halt.
What are your favorite Alexandra and Roger storylines or scenes?

Hmm. Love Marj Dusay in the role but the best Alex/Roger scene was with Beverly McKinsley. Watching Alex dump Roger at the Country Club before all of his foes was one of the best scenes in GL history. I think they are still on Youtube.
As for MD's Alex, watching her and Amanda argue was awesome. Also, drunk Alex is awesome!!!

I could not agree more, the Country Club scene ranks in the top five scenes of Guiding Light. Roger chasing Rita in the hall of mirrors to the song, "No More Tears" performed by Streisand and Summer was also a classic.

Actors like Marj Dusay and the late Michael Zaslow are what daytime is all about!

Marj Dusay is just class. I absolutely LOVE her Alex.
"Well, Darrrling,..."
Amen to that Soap_Stud. They don't make 'em like they used to. They don't make characters like Aunt Alexandra Spaulding anymore. The epitomy of what a great si=oap character was- classy, rich, glamorous, humorous, witty, bitchy. Those characters you just love.
Actors like Zaslow, Dusay, Sloan, Deas, Zimmer. They are ACTORS, not pretty faces. They are all-around great. They're acting is what makes them what they are, not how much make-up they wear, or how good they look shirtless. These, my friends, are the reason Daytime was great, and this is why people were hooked to their stories in the Golden Day.
Mrs. Dusay, you're a classy lady, and I hope you have a marvelous post-Guiding Light career.

I like Marj Dusay's Alex but of course my favorite Alex is Beverly Mckinsey (sp)...She was a class act all the way!

I have to say I remember that scene where Roger popped Alex. It was during Nick and Mindy's (then Barbara Crampton) big engagement party. Alex saw Roger around a corner and she went off on him during her toast to Nick and Mindy, and that set Rog off even more and then all hell broke loose! Screaming, shouting, people falling over railings, Alex hit Roger, and it was quick, but Roger definitely hit her back. It made me gasp at the time. Sigh, the good ole days.

Beverlee McKenzie was another great actress who made daytime a must see event! Sadly, in budget slashing and declining ratings times, we are seeing less of these great vets and more of the new, mediocre performers.
I applaud Y & R for keeping the focus on the vets. 80 year old Jeanne Cooper could kick any new soap newbie's ass! I applaud GL for using its vets during final days and I can only wonder if they had done this 18 months ago, if we'd be saying goodbye to GL.

Beverly McKinsey is my favorite. Any scene she had with Michael Zaslow and Kimberly Simms (Roger and Mindy) were my favorites. Of course the country club scenes were the best ever! Also loved when Alex found out Mindy was with Nick and she pulled her out of the bed by her hair and then went to the Blue Moon to tell Billy about Roger and Mindy's affair! And also when she confronted Mindy at the church to tell her that Nick was not coming back to her (lying of course). Thank you God for Beverly McKinsey!!!
Now I love Marj Dusay also. I agree with Nathan about that country club scene, I forgot about that one, that is when the show went all out at that time there was so much going on with stories. Alex gave a toast to Roger and told him to go to hell, and the happy engagement party went to hell after that. And that's also when Roger was shot in the awesome who-done-it.

I love Marj Dusay. Even though I haven't watched GL for very long, I think she's incredible. I'd *love* for her to return to AMC but the chances that Chuckie woudn't botch it are slim.

Marj Dusay has quite an impressive resume. Her website is eye opening. Done everything! Guest star on hundreds of classic tv shows, improv comedy with Steve Allen, Elvis movie, to Star Trek!

I was just watching the Alex/Roger fight at the engagement party on YouTube.
And then the little confrontation she had with Mindy right after in the powder room was good too.
GL criminally underutilized Marj in her time with the show.

I'm sorry but I've loved Marj ever since I first started watching soaps back in 1999. So I would welcome her back to AMC in a heartbeat.
