on the iconic CBS daytime soap opera As the World Turns. Because it was done in New York, veteran stage actors were commonplace cast members. Among them were the likes of Broadway and TV veteran Ruth White, a Tony- and Emmy-nominated actress who appeared regularly as the librarian named "Bessie Bookbinder." Episode status Although suffering the same fate as so many series of its era—virtually all the episodes are lost, a kinescope of one episode is held at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, with another (dating from December 28, 1950) held by the Paley Center for Media. An additional episode may survive as part of the Peabody Award collection.
