Phillip Bell was a regular on Chicago airwaves for 30 years. She was the first woman to earn the Governors Award from the Chicago chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. During her long run, she also broke ground as the producer and narrator of numerous news specials that tackled social issues such as race relations, divorce, rape and women in prison.
“Think of Bill and Lee as yin and yang. Different sides of the same coin,” says “B&B” star John McCook. McCook was a cast member of “Y&R” in the 1970s and then was recruited by the Bells to be a core player on “B&B” from its inception in 1987. Phillip Bell’s warm personality was also a contrast to her husband, who died in 2005. Braeden recalls Bill Bell arriving at the production offices at CBS Television City daily at 4 a.m. to get an early start on his writing chores for the day.
