Susan Haskell is a Canadian actress. She graduated from Tufts University in the United States in 1985 with a major in child study.
She is most known for her Daytime Emmy Award-winning role as Dr. Margaret "Marty" Saybrooke, bad-girl-turned-good, on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live. Haskell portrayed this role from March 1992 until September 1997, with two brief visits in 2004 and 2005. She returned again for an extended stay on June 11, 2008.[1][2][3] Haskell won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress for the role in 1994,[4][5] and was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in 2009.[6] At the time of Haskell's 2008 return, Marty was called "one of those tentpole characters that everyone who has watched One Life to Live at some point remembers."[2] It was noted that the 1993 story of the character's gang rape led by Todd Manning "is one of the show's most remembered and impactful."[2]
Haskell also appeared on Port Charles in 2001 as Granya Thornhart, opposite her former One Life to Live love interest (and longtime companion), Thorsten Kaye, with whom she shares children, daughter McKenna (born February 2003) and Marlowe (born January 2007).
With Haskell expecting her and Kaye's second child, the role of Marty was recast in November 2006 with Christina Chambers. Haskell's daughter Marlowe Marann was born on January 28, 2007.[citation needed] Chambers exited the show in December 2007, a year after her debut, and Haskell returned in June 2008.[1][2][3]
