Genie Francis
Actor
Birth Date: May 26, 1962
Age: 61 years old
Birth Place: Englewood, New Jersey
The most recognized soap opera ingénue of her era, actress Genie Francis shot to superstardom as the beautiful, flaxen-haired female half of Luke & Laura (no last names necessary) on the legendary ABC soap, "General Hospital." As such, Francis (alongside her equally famous co-star, Anthony Geary), gave birth to American soap opera's first "super-couple" in the early 1980's - a genre convention which lived on decades later. While Francis attempted to escape the Laura Vining Webber Baldwin Spencer character several times throughout her adult life, leaving the soap to attend school or get married and have babies, the fans' unending nostalgia for her character always seemed to bring her back into the daytime fold.
