"Winning Ain't Everything"

Ask Marcy Walker what she hopes to teach her son, Taylor, and she will answer with a story. "I went to an awards event, and it was the first time I had ever taken him to anything like that. Someone else won in my category and I didn't think anything of it, but he looked at me kind of sad, and he said to me 'I wish you would have won.' I told him, "But I am always a winner, because I have you.' Losing in front of him was the best gift I could have ever gotten," she says, "because he realized that I'm not always invinclible to him, but I was still happy - I didn't crumble, and i didn't cry, because I have my family, and that's the most important thing. He was thrilled to have the tables turned, to be able to say, 'I'm sorry you didn't win.' He got to be the parent for a minute. It was a wonderful lesson."

2000/2001
Daytime Emmy Awards

Best Actress in a Leading Role
For "Liza Colby" on ABC's All My Children

SOD May 22, 2001

EMMY DISH - What's it like to be a Daytime Emmy nominee? Digest chatted with the chosen ones about everything from the atmosphere on the set when the nominations come out to award-show attire - and even whether they prepared an acceptance speech...just in case.

DIGEST: How do you feel about AMC receiving so many nominations?

WALKER: I said to [Supervising Producer Ginger Smith], "Do you think there will be people there who will not hate us?" It's hard when you see so many people being honored from one show. We were very blessed.

DIGEST: What do you think was your best work?

WALKER: The courtroom stuff where Jake realizes the baby isn't his.

DIGEST: How does it feel to compete with two co-stars?

WALKER: I was on the show many, many years ago, and I used to look at Julia Barr [Brooke] and Susan Lucci [Erica] in awe. I used to watch them because I respected them, and I respected their professionalism and I respected their work. So, to be in a category with them, I hope it means that I belong. I feel like this is a true acknowledgement. And Martha Byrne [Lily/Rose, ATWT] has been someone I've watched for years. It's funny, I'm a little nervous to even get into a conversaton with her because I've watched her work for so many years and I have such a great deal of respect for her. And Susan Flannery [Stephanie, B&B], as well. I'm honored and I'm humbled.
