Moments from the Past!

1.  The first time that I can remember seeing "Gloria Loring" must have been from

her role on the daytime serial, "Days of Our Lives."  Because essentially, that is the

only role I have ever seen her play!  Ever since then, I have admired this talented

lady very much!  Unfortunately, I probably came into the picture a bit late, considering

the number of times that she performed on the show, but I do have one of her 

appearances, and this one is EXCEPTIONAL!  Stepping to the stage, with Al Jarreau, 

the two of them perform a rousing rendition of the Elton John classic, "Take me to 

the Pilot."  It's easy to see why she was such an endearing character on the show.

2.  Ironically it seems that alot of things seemed to come together at the same time, 

placing Gloria into the spotlight!  A hit single, "Friends and Lovers" . . . a self titled, 

debut album . . . a sizzling romance with Don Diamont . . . and the decision to leave

the daytime serial, "Days of Our Lives."  Reflecting back upon all of this, I'm sure

the tabloids must have had a field day!  Which makes this particular moment from

the television show, "Fame Fortune and Romance" all the more important.  Because

here's the "real story!"  All of those areas are covered in this "exceptional" program

and then some!  Relaxing by the pool, Gloria talks about her relationship with Don,

and then later, he sits down to present his side of the story, as well.  It's clear to 

see that the two of them are very committed to each other.  

3.  Upon learning of her son's diabetes, Gloria made a decision to find a cure for the

disease, not only for the sake of her son, but also to help others as well.  All of which

 is brought to light, during this interview, from "The Today Show."  In addition to her

work on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, they also touch upon her new

album, and some of the other things happening in her life.  

Gloria looks absolutely radiant!

4.  Making a sensational appearance on "American Bandstand" Gloria steps to the stage,

with Carl Anderson for a stirring rendition of their hit single, "Friends and Lovers."

Gloria looks so beautiful!  "Exceptional" full screen moment!

5.  After a warm reception from the audience, Gloria settles in for a wonderful appearance

 on the daytime talk show, "Hour Magazine."  Looking radiant as always, Gloria simply 

sparkles, as she touches upon many of the things happening in her life and career.  First

and foremost is her highly successful duet, "Friends and Lovers."  Which she confides took

ten months to bring to light.  Ironically, she mentions, that the executives didn't want to

take her seriously, because she was known as an "actress."  Which is funny because

there was a time, before she accepted the role on "Days of Our Lives" that she was only

known as a "singer."  Gloria also mentions her upcoming departure from the role of Liz

Chandler, on the popular daytime soap opera, and her plans for the future.

 

6.  Stepping to the stage, at the American Music Awards, Gloria helps present

one of the honors for the evening.

7.  Looking absolutely sensational, Gloria makes a wonderful appearance on the

Lifetime program, "Attitudes."  As they visit with her, it's interesting to learn that

she had actually been in the "entertainment business" for nearly twenty-one years,

before she became an "over night success!"  Throughout the interview, Gloria talks

about many things, including:  her marriage to Alan Thicke, her strained relationship

with her father, and the reason behind her separation from Don Diamont.  Which is

really surprising!  As their conversation draws to a close, Gloria is asked an

interesting question, "how did you become so confident?"  Speaking from the

heart, she confesses that she arrived at a point in her life, when nothing

seemed to be working anymore, and she decided it was time to listen

to her inner voice!  Which gave her all the strength she needed!

8.  Ironically, one of the reasons which lead to Gloria's separation from Don Diamont,

is the very idea, which finds her appearing on the program, titled "Mother's Day."

As Joan Lunden welcomes Gloria to the set, she mentions that she is expecting her

third child!  Because the central theme of the program is focused on the "family"

naturally their conversation touches upon Gloria's two children, and how her

one son is coping with his diabetes.  Throughout the rest of the interview, Gloria

talks about her latest book, and touches upon the difficult times they have

faced, but are managing as a "family."

 

9.  There was a time on television when "variety" meant many things, and for some 

reason this "EXCEPTIONAL" moment from a special devoted to "SeaWorld" brings those

moments to mind.  Performing a delightful rendition of "One Love" Gloria looks simply

sensational!

15.  Making a very special appearance on one of the final episodes of the

Sally Jesse Raphael Show, Gloria reminds us of why she was one of our all time

favorite, day time stars!  As the show draws to a close she sings a wonderful

rendition of her hit, "Friends and Lovers."
