The tribute to Guiding Light was sliced almost beyond recognition. I only take photos that I don't already have, or don't remember I have, anyway, and so this is not all that was there. But the REAL tribute, the uncut version, is on YouTube as this is created, and I hope remains there. I highly recommend you view it. For the newer viewers, I will tell you who is in the photos I have here. The next page is all photos of the cast taking their bow, abbreviated due to the poor quality of the direction of the show. You can get more out of the stills than you could as the camera raced across the stage. On the page after that there are some photos I took off of YouTube, and the link to the uncut version. I have identified my shots on that page also. I began watching Guiding Light in 1957.

Betty White did an excellent job of introducing the clips.
