On Sunday June 6th, a memorial brunch was held in Frances Reid (ex-Alice Horton; Days of Our Lives) honor. Jason attended and kicked it all off with some personal stories. We’d like to thank Danielle Turchiano who is gracious enough to let us add her photos to our gallery! Here’s an excerpt from her blog about Jason’s appearence at the brunch;

“Frances kept you on your toes!” Jason Cook told My Life, Made Possible by Pop Culture. “She would catch you off-guard because of her age and because she wasn’t as spry as [when she was younger], but let me tell you, she was as sharp as a tack! I always looked forward to acting with her; she was one of the best.”

Cook also told the crowd a story about his first day on the job in 1999, in a scene with Reid in which she told a producer to his face that Cook’s lines were “crap” and he couldn’t say them that way. Scared of losing his job, Cook just went along with it and improvised– something which he said he continued during the rest of his seven-year duration on the show “all because of Frances.”
