Audrey Peters

Audrey Peters (born February 11, 1927 in Maplewood, New Jersey) is an American actress.

Career

Peters is best known for her 21-year run as Vanessa Dale Sterling on the CBS daytime soap opera Love of Life. Peters was the third actress to play the role (after daytime veteran Peggy McCay and actress Bonnie Bartlett), but she became the actress most identified with the role. Her run as Vanessa ended when the show was cancelled in 1980.

Seven years later, she was cast as Sarah Shayne, the mother of Reva Shayne, on another CBS soap, Guiding Light. Peters was on contract with the show for four years, and returned for Christmas episodes in 1993. The show "killed off" the character of Sarah in 1997, but Peters has made several additional appearances, appearing as Sarah's spirit to guide Reva during times of trouble.

Peters has made several other appearances on daytime television, including brief appearances on Search for Tomorrow, Loving, and All My Children. Early in her career, Peters was cast in several plays on the Broadway stage. She was a dancer on The Toast of the Town until an injury ended her dancing career.
