The First-Ever Award for
"Days of Our Lives!"
One of the
most rare and unique pieces in Jason47's "Days" collection
is what could be the first award "Days" ever received!
What
makes it so rare is that the award is for the year 1965, when "Days" had only
been on the air for two months.
Macdonald Carey, as seen below in
the bottom left picture, was named the Best Daytime Actor by TV
editors polled for
the 19th Annual TV Radio Mirror Awards (TV Radio Mirror
was one of the earliest entertainment magazines).
The page below, announcing
the results, is from the June 1966 edition of the magazine.
The award, now over 46
years old, is still in great shape!
