Agnes Nixon has always been an idol of mine since I was a child. She created two beloved soap operas, "All My Children" and "One Life To Live, and outlived them by a few years sadly. She began her writing career in college and as an apprentice to the late legend Irna Phillips. From her upbringing as an only child of divorced parents in Nashville, Agnes also known as Aggie dreamed of becoming writer from an early age.This memoir is long overdue for a figure such as Agnes Nixon. She married the love of her life, Bob Nixon, and raised four children in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, Agnes doesn't get credit for her genius in writing and developing unforgettable and unique characters like Susan Lucci's Erica Kane or Ruth Warrick's Phoebe Tyler on "All My Children" or Erika Slezak's Viki Lord on "One Life to Live." She had her own bible for "All My Children" for five years until she was offered the opportunity. Stars came and went to Pine Valley and Llanview. The forward was written by All My Children fan, Carol Burnett, who played Verla Grubbs.Agnes Nixon would be inducted into the Television Hall of Fame and the Soap Opera Hall of Fame (not that it matters anymore). There are only four soap operas on the air and none from Agnes Nixon. The four remaining soaps are fighting for survival. Soaps weren't given the proper respect in Agnes' life. Irna Phillips, the pioneer and mother of soap opera television and radio, was never inducted into the Television Hall of Fame nor was she honored with Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television and Radio nor induction into their Hall of Fames. Agnes Nixon herself doesn't have a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television.Agnes Nixon was never awarded the Kennedy Center Honors, America's highest honor, nor was she was awarded the National Medal of the Arts. She has written thousands of stories and scripts herself. Her writings have been donated to her college, Northwestern University School of Communication and the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communication. She was also a dedicated wife and mother as well as writer. Her father never believed in her abilities.She began developing her writing skills by playing with paper dolls cutting them out of the Sunday funnies. She lost her first love in World War II. Her parents' divorce had affected her relationship with her father who lived in Chicago while she lived in Nashville with her mother's family.
I finished the book last night after starting it on Thursday evening. My respect for Mrs. Nixon was great before I read her story, but with this final piece of work, she refreshes us on the lesson to never assume. It is easy to view Mrs. Nixon (Ag) as a woman of privilege. And though she did earn that through her hard work and trailblazing, she never forgot who she was.Though I would have liked more insight into her other work (such as head writer of ‘Another World’ and how the ‘All My Children’ bible influenced her) and the profession challenges she had, similar to the issue on 'Search for Tomorrow' (why did she pull back from ‘One Life to Live’, the power play between her and ABC those last years, the lose of the warehouse that housed tapes of the early episodes of OLTL and AMC, etc.), I still marveled at her grace (no naming the writer who said they did not believe in character motivation) and her gratitude.Yes, there are some date and reference inconstancies that momentarily detract from the book, but the power of Mrs. Nixon story is not diminished by these issues.Reading about the challenges she had to complete this memoir, on her own terms, gives me a sense of pride in a way. For as she said over and over, she saw the company and the viewers as all her children, Mrs. Nixon was “All Our Aggieâ€.
The late writer/producer Agnes Nixon said in 1981 that she learned from her mentor, Irna Phillips, that "every individual's life has a soap opera in it."For Nixon, that was a double-edged sword. Her life not only was a soap opera, it provided her with material for both of the long-running daytime serials she created, "One Life to Live" and "All My Children."We learn in "My Life to Live" that to become a writer, she had to defy a domineering father who tried to control every aspect of her life-including what to wear, whom to date and marry, and even her choice of career (he wanted her to join his Chicago-based business creating burial clothing for corpses). Early in her career, she shared an apartment with a woman who was having an affair with a married man. She created the serial "Search for Tomorrow," but had it taken away from her by consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble and the advertising agency that were jointly packaging the show for CBS because she didn't want to write the sex-drenched melodramas her male superiors insisted upon. As a working mom, other mothers regarded her as a "curiosity," and one even told her that by working, she was being "unfair" to her children.Nixon also provides insight into a working writer's mind, as we see how she integrated real life events and issues into her fiction. A friend's death from cancer became the basis of a storyline for "The Guiding Light," a Phillips-created serial she wrote for before striking out on her own. Seeing African-Americans riding in the backs of buses and being exposed to casual racism during her Southern childhood served as the basis for a "OLTL" storyline about the evils of racial prejudice. And her dictatorial father became the basis for "AMC" character Palmer Cortlandt.Nixon tells her the story of how she made daytime TV a more realistic place in clear, economical prose doubtless borne of her decades of experience writing for radio and television, where scripts serve as blueprints for the creativity of actors and other personnel, and where audiences expect writers to cut to the chase without stylistic flourishes.For those interested in behind-the-scenes detail, she also includes excerpts from the "AMC" bible and the full script for her first radio play, "No Flags Flying," which she based upon her fiance's death in World War II.If one flaw exists, it's that she skims over the less happy aspects of her professional life-notably ABC's decision in 2011 to cancel both of her series on the same day. She reports upon, but doesn't dwell upon, the network-instituted changes she believes led to her shows' demise.At book's end, Nixon gives us a glimpse of what unfortunately will never be when she reveals she was working on ideas for a series of short stories. It's a pity we'll never have those stories, but having "My Life to Live" is compensation enough indeed.
