Career
Seaforth Hayes grew up in the Hollywood environment; her mother, Elizabeth Harrower, was an actress and writer who eventually became a part of the writing team of The Young and the Restless.
Although Seaforth Hayes had a number of featured roles on primetime television, and was active in theater as a teenager, she is perhaps best known for her role as Julie Olson Williams on the American daytime television soap opera Days of our Lives. Seaforth Hayes played the role from 1968 to 1984 and again from 1990 to 1993, with additional appearances in 1994, 1996, and 1999-present as a recurring cast member.
Seaforth Hayes' onscreen and real-life romance with costar Bill Hayes (Doug Williams) was widely covered by both the soap opera magazines and the mainstream press (they married in 1974).[2] The characters of Doug and Julie were Days of our Lives as well as daytime TV's 's first supercouple,[2] and are widely believed to be the first supercoupling on the American daytime serials.[citation needed] Their appearance together on the January 12, 1976 cover of Time magazine was the first time daytime actors had appeared there.[1]
In between roles, she guest-starred as Joanna Manning, mother to Tracey E. Bregman's character, Lauren Fenmore, on The Young and the Restless and as District Attorney Patricia Steele on Sunset Beach in that show's final months on the air.
In 2005, she and Hayes published their joint autobiography, "Like Sands Through The Hourglass."
The role of Stephanie Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful was created for her by former Days headwriter William J. Bell. When she turned it down, her former Days costar Susan Flannery took the role.
