The Locher Room sat down with Danielle Harris and Shelly Burch — the unforgettable mother-daughter duo Samantha Garretson and Delilah Ralston from One Life to Live.
Danielle Harris began acting at just 7 years old, landing her first major role on OLTL as “Sammy,” the police chief’s daughter. She soon became a household name in the horror genre, beating out hundreds for the role of Jamie Lloyd in Halloween 4, and has since appeared in over 50 horror films, including Rob Zombie’s Halloween reboot, Urban Legend, and Hatchet. Her career spans from Roseanne to voicing Debbie in The Wild Thornberrys, and today she co-hosts the hit podcast Talk Scary to Me with Scout Compton.
Shelly Burch is best known to soap fans as the glamorous and devilish Delilah Ralston, but her career extends far beyond Llanview. A triple-threat actress, singer, and dancer, Shelly starred alongside Sammy Davis Jr. in Stop the World – I Want to Get Off, played Lily St. Regis and Star-to-Be in Annie, and originated the role of Claudia in Nine, earning a Drama Desk nomination and introducing the song “Unusual Way” to the world. She also starred as Julie in Show Boat for PBS’s Great Performances and has continued performing in her one-woman cabaret shows for over 40 years. A seasoned coach and mentor, Shelly has helped countless performers hone their craft. Her favorite role of all? Proud mother of three.
You will hear heartfelt memories, Broadway and horror stories, behind-the-scenes soap scoop, and two dynamic careers brought together for a great Llanview reunion.
