Lillian Hayman

Lillian Hayman

Lillian Hayman (July 17, 1922, Baltimore, Maryland – October 25, 1994, Hollis, New York) was an American actress best known for her work on the television soap opera "One Life to Live".

Hayman first acted in Broadway theatre. She won the 1968 Tony Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical, playing the mother of Leslie Uggams's character in the play "Hallelujah, Baby!" This performance attracted the casting agents for "One Life to Live", who cast her as Sadie Gray. This role would become Hayman's most identifiable, and she acted on the serial from 1968 until 1986, when her option was not picked up by then-executive producer Paul Rauch. She didn't even know that she was fired until someone told her in the parking garage as she left the studio, "Mr. Rauch wants you to know that you just worked your last day."

Miss Hayman briefly left the cast of "One Life to Live" to appear in the primetime musical comedy series "Leslie" starring Leslie Uggams. The role of Sadie was recast with Esther Rolle.

Hayman also portrayed Lucrezia Borgia in the 1975 film "Mandingo" and its 1976 sequel, "Drum".
