| Leven Montgomery Portrayed Autistic Lily Montgomery |
Show: All My Children
Actress: Leven Rambin
Role: Lily Montgomery Lavery
There have been so MANY fine young actors and actresses who have filled out soap canvases portraying children in our beloved soap towns.
I chose Lily Montgomery Lavery of All My Children played by Leven Rambin as my favorite. Leven brought a special respect to the role of Lily, the autistic step-daughter of Jackson Montgomery. Whenever she was onscreen she lit up the scene. The character of Lily brought to light the challenges that face children suffering from autism as well as the adjustments families must make. Her character also addressed the social challenges facing someone who has special needs. Lily made it socially acceptable to be different, to have special needs. The residents of Pine Valley rallied around her to ensure she was secure and comfortable. In return they got a beautiful shining citizen who exuded innocence and sweetness while being wise far beyond her years.
Sam Manning! He is just so adorable.

DeleteI thought the most recent Spike on AMC was adorable, and very good at saying his lines for such a little guy. I have to agree, though, Lily/Levin was really something special. I believe she's in the new Hunger Games movie.

It used to be Starr but now she is an adult so I have to say Sam Manning.
ReplyDeleteToday it's that adorable kid who plays Sam Manning on OLTL. But the ultimate child star was the kid who played the original Amanda on AMC when Janet & Trevor were a family unit. That little girl was AMAZING!
