September 29, 2008 CBS Soaps In Depth
Y&R's Judith Chapman (Gloria) has worked on countless soaps, movies and in primetime, but she's never been one to let success in Hollywood go to her head. "I figured out very early on that if this stopped making me happy, if it stopped working for me, then I'd do something else. It stopped making me happy for a while, which is why I dropped out and moved to the desert," she shares. "I recharged my batteries and re-found the passion for my craft." When Chapman returned to television, she brought her recharged spirit--and a big dose of gratitude--with her. "I don't take anything for granted," insists the actress. "I used to get so mad at actors when they started fussing, because they had the best job. I'd say, 'Why don't you leave, go out to the street and try to find another job?' People forget to simply enjoy this. We fought so hard, studied so hard to get here. Just love it, embrace it, and be thankful for it!"
