At the height of her fame, she was described as television's best "hissable, kissable, villainess." But off-screen, she is nothing like the characters she plays so well.
Morgan Fairchild was the woman viewers loved to hate on shows like Search for Tomorrow, Dallas and Falcon Crest. At one point, the Reverends Donald Wildmon and Jerry Falwell singled her out as the "worst woman on television," but their condemnation didn't take into consideration her extensive and impressive activism. As BIOGRAPHY® reveals, the actress known for her roles as a high-class vamp was one of the first people to take up the cause of AIDS, has testified before Congress on the environmental degradation of desert lands and is a founding member of the influential Hollywood Women's Political Committee. But despite her impressive accomplishments, she is still thought of--and typecast--as the blonde temptress with a heart of stone.
What you see is not always what you get--and no one makes that more clear than Morgan Fairchild.
