About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Patrika Darbo, is a multi-award winning actress, producer, director and author who is perhaps best remembered for her portrayal of the sexy, cunning and manipulatively domineering “Nancy Wesley” on the immensely popular daytime drama, “Days of Our Lives”, for which she won a Soap Opera Digest Award, as well as nominations for a Daytime Emmy Award and an Online Film and Television Association Award.

Her other major soap opera role was on “The Bold and the Beautiful”, in which she portrayed “Shirley Spectra”. She won a Prime Time Emmy Award for her performance in “Acting Dead”, and she won an Indie Series Award AND a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for her work in “Studio City”.

She won another Indie Series Award for her performance in “Indoor Boys”. She’s received 6 more Indie Series Award nominations - 3 for her portrayal of “Mickey Walker” in “The Bay”, 2 nominations for her performance as “Dorothy Nolan” in “Ladies of the Lake” and “Ladies of the Lake: Return to Avalon”, and another nomination for her portrayal of “Dr. Freed” on “Miss Behave”, which she also produced and directed. She’s appeared in dozens of classic TV shows including “Diff’rent Strokes”, “St. Elsewhere”, “Step by Step”, “Seinfeld”, “Married With Children”, “The Big Bang Theory”, “Gilmore Girls”, “Desperate Housewives”, “Dexter” and many more.

And who can forget her portrayal of Roseanne Barr in the 1994 TV movie “Roseanne and Tom: Behind the Scenes”. On the big screen, you’ve seen her in “Leaving Normal”, “In the Line of Fire”, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”, “Corrina Corrina”, “Speed 2: Cruise Control”, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, “Charlie Wilson’s War”, and many more great films. And yes, she provided the voice of one of the sheep in “Babe”.

And get this - our guest was named by TV Guide as one of the sexiest stars of 1999, and a few years later, she released an entertaining, insightful and inspirational memoir entitled, “365 Glorious Nights of Love and Romance”, in which she shares her life experiences, life lessons, and many tips for building confidence, a winning attitude, and a positive approach to life, so we can all be and feel beautiful and sexy.

And well beyond her stellar career as an actress and author, our guest has a long and distinguished history of community service. She was on the Board of Governors of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and she currently serves on the Performers Group Executive Committee. She’s on the Executive Board of the Thalians, established by my dear friend Ruta Lee and the late Debbie Reynolds, whose mission is devoted to helping the brave men and women of the American military heal the wounds of war, both physical and mental.
