Judith Light | First Theatre Performance: A Doll House

Judith Light is one of the best stage drama actresses in the 1970s. Her debut performance was A Doll House which was shown in 1975. A year after, she made another appearance on Broadway with Herzl. For a theatre actress like Light, she never wanted to enter acting for TV series. She initially rejected a role for ABC’s soap opera One Life to Live. However, Light eventually gave in upon learning her daily salary of $350, a whopping amount back then. She may have thought that this salary will pay her electricity and rent bills and serve as an opportunity for her to save a fortune.

As Light cemented her name in the industry, she took the opportunity to take part in various activism. She is an advocate of equal rights and the LGBT community. She is also an active advocate of HIV/AIDS awareness. At 72, Light lives happily with her husband and actor. Robert Desiderio. She is also a fond practitioner of Kundalini yoga.
