This is from Julia Barr. What a way to treat a 30 year veteran!!
December 2006
Hello Everyone,
I want to wish you and your family a very happy holiday and a wonderful, healthy and peaceful New Year. I hope 2007 brings you much joy and happiness! I also want to express to you my very heartfelt appreciation to the many people who have written me letters and emails, who have blogged and posted messages online, and who have called and contacted ABC, All My Children and the soap opera magazines about my departure from the show. I feel very blessed to have such a large group of devoted fans cheering me on as I say goodbye to a very important chapter in my career – and my life. To spend 30 years doing one job that you love is something I don't take lightly. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful experience and to have had the opportunity to connect with so many viewers and fans over the years.
A very special thank you to a group of fans who call themselves "The Barr Association" who came together to celebrate the character Brooke, and who ended up becoming very dear to me on so many levels. Thank you guys for everything.
As for All My Children, my last show aired in November (Simone's funeral). I had assumed that I would have a final scene regarding my character's departure – certainly with Tad or Jamie, or even a last jab at Erica. I think the fans would have liked the chance to say goodbye to Brooke and to have had some closure with the character many have known for 30 years. I know it is what I would have wanted. However, it was not the decision that was made for whatever reason.
So, I bid a fond farewell to you now. My time with All My Children was well spent…and, I am very happy to have spent it with all of you. I will keep you all on my mailing list and will contact you in the future to let you know what I am doing and to touch base with everyone.
Thanks again for all of your devotion and correspondences!!
Happy holidays and best wishes.
Fondly,
JULIA BARR
WOW. What a bunch of :Pholes they are at AMC. To treat her with that little respect is deplorable.
