When Sharon Case first be-
guiled THE YOUNG & THE
RESTLESS’ fans as the whole-
some Sharon Collins in 1994,
women across the countr y
were wearing baby-doll dresses
or oversized clothing, swooning
over Cindy Crawford and Rich-
ard Gere’s fair y-tale romance
and sighing as they thumbed
through the pages of The
Bridges Of Madison County. “It’s
really hard to believe how much
time has passed,” says the
blonde stunner, who will offi-
cially celebrate her silver anni-
versar y on the sudser next
month. “I had hoped that the
character of Sharon would stick
around, but you never know
what to expect out of life!
Especially at that age, you
don’t know what you’re
doing or where things
will be heading. Having
hindsight on your life is
always amazing. I cannot
believe ever ything has
gone so well. I’ve been
lucky to be here all these
years. It’s been a really,
really great ride!” Buckle
up, let’s journey back to
see the highlights!
Case says that she feels very
lucky to be part of the wildly
popular pairing of Nick and
Sharon, and to share the screen
with Joshua Morrow. “You can’t
pick your colleagues or your
family, and Josh is both of
those to me. I lucked out! He is
amazing and hilarious. He is all-
around the best co-star and
friend that you could ever ask
for. I know everybody feels that
way about him, but he has
(section continues) made my job a delight!”
