Lisa Brown (August 2, 1954 – November 24, 2021) was an American actress. She is best known for her work in daytime television, playing Nola Reardon on Guiding Light and Iva Snyder on As the World Turns.
Career
Brown's first notable role was on Guiding Light, where she played the role of Nola Reardon Chamberlain from 1980 to 1985 and again from 1995 to 1998 (with an appearance in the show's final weeks in 2009). She and actor Michael Tylo, who played Quint, were a popular pairing on the show.
Brown also created another notable soap role in the form of Iva Snyder on As the World Turns, playing her from November 6, 1985 to 1994 and with several guest appearances from 1998 to 2003.
Both roles were created by writer Douglas Marland, and Brown was in some ways a "muse" for Marland's writing.
After her acting roles on both shows concluded, she was an acting coach for Guiding Light and One Life to Live.
Brown appeared in the lead role of Broadway version of 42nd Street in the early 80s, while simultaneously playing her Guiding Light role. Other daytime work includes a short stint as a corrupt FBI agent on Loving in 1995.
Personal life
Brown was married to actor Tom Nielsen, who had once played her boyfriend Floyd Parker on Guiding Light, from 1982 to 1985. In 1997, she married Brian Neary. Her son, James Anthony Nielsen, played her infant son on Guiding Light and is now the lead singer of Senses Fail. Brown helped produce and direct their videos.[1]
She died on November 24, 2021, at the age of 67.[2]
