Collins has guest starred on the daytime soap operas One Life to Live, Guiding Light, Search for Tomorrow and Another World.[5] Collins was cast for All My Children in 1985 during her performances in the Broadway play Doubles.[4] Collins left All My Children in 1992, and the role was recast with Melody Anderson. The character was subsequently killed off on June 22, 1993. Collins returned to the show in 1997, 1998, and 2001 as Natalie's "spirit."

gollark: > haskell is the only language that enforces separation between computation and effectsReally? Don't PureScript and probably other derivatives/similar languages do that?
gollark: I'm thinking it could include actual formatting, Unicode, headers, that sort of thing. As well as possibly decent autogen scripts allowing each sentence to be given its own header saying "Section 1, Clause 8" or something, and maybe even JS to dynamically edit the text a bit as you scroll.
gollark: The current potatOS privacy policy viewer thing is literally just `edit`, and mostly quite bad, so I was thinking it might be a good idea to have it open in the browser instead.
gollark: You're their QA team.
gollark: There is already, did you read it?
