    Actually, monica.murray@nyumc.org, you've got it wrong. The soap you are describing in your comment above is not "Search For Tomorrow," but "The Secret Storm." That's the one which for many years featured story lines revolving around the "Ames" family.

    "Search For Tomorrow" revolved mainly around the characters of "Joanne Gardner Barron Tate Reynolds Vincente Tourneur" (played the show's entire, 35-year run by Mary Stuart) and her good friends "The Bergmans"-- "Stu Bergman" (Larry Haines) and, for many years his wife, "Marge" (played by Melba Rae for 20+ years until her sudden, 1972 death).

    However, both soaps were created by Roy Winsor.

    To answer your question, Jada Rowland, who played "Amy Ames Rysdale Britton Kincaid" off and on for most of the two decades "The Secret Storm" aired (replaced in intermittent periods by other actresses, including the last time by the equally popular Lynne Adams, who played "Leslie Jackson Bauer Norris Bauer" on "The Guiding Light" for many years) is now a painter and illustrator.

    After "Storm" was canceled in 1974, Rowland had another, long-running stint, as a character on NBC's "The Doctors."
