FULL BIO
This elegant lady has defined the television version of the
rich, sophisticated businesswoman who knows what she wants, and will do
whatever it takes to get it. She was born Patsy Ann McClenny on February 3,
1950 in Dallas, Texas. She began acting as a child, when her mother enrolled
her in drama lessons after she was too shy to give a book report in class. From
the age of 10, she performed in children's plays. Later, she would do dinner
theater and stock productions in Dallas. She chose Morgan as a stage name. In
1973, Morgan decided to pursue a career in television; just 6 weeks after
moving to New York, she landed the key role of Jennifer in the daytime soap
opera Search for Tomorrow;
she stayed on until 1977.
Morgan moved to Los Angeles, where she originated the role of Jenna Wade on the
wildly popular nighttime soap opera Dallas (Jenna was later
portrayed by Priscilla
Presley). Morgan made numerous guest appearances on television series. She
played Constance (Weldon) Carlyle in Flamingo Road, and she was
nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress; that was her breakout series
that propelled her to stardom.
Morgan continued to perform in live theater, her acclaimed portrayal of Skye in
the off-Broadway comedy "Geniuses" helped make it one of the
"Top Ten Plays" of the year according to Time Magazine and the New
York Times. Other stage appearances have included productions of "Goodbye
Charlie" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." On television, she
played the naughty Racine in the soap opera Paper Dolls in 1984.
Later, she starred in the soap opera Falcon Crest from
1985-86, having made a niche for herself playing ambitious beauties. Morgan
received an Emmy nomination for a special episode of Murphy Brown.
Morgan has shared some of her beauty secrets by authoring the book "Super
Looks" which is a complete guide that includes makeup, exercise, and diet
tips. Morgan is a member of the Entertainment Industry AIDS Task Force. She is
an active speaker on environmental issues and helped found the Environmental
Communications Office, which encourages entertainment industry professionals to
become better educated and more active on environmental issues. Morgan is a
collector of movie memorabilia (particularly anything about Marilyn Monroe) and antique
clothing. She is a ballet fan and is also interested in anthropology and
paleontology; Morgan is truly a brainy beauty.
TWO BITCHES FROM TEXAS:
 Morgan Fairchild is an actress who has appeared in
everything from Friends to Happy Days, from Mork & Mindy to Dallas and
Falcon Crest, from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure to North and South. She has always
been an activist on many issues, especially those based in science. Morgan
spoke out on pro-choice in the ’80s, when it was considered controversial, and
also worked to raise AIDS awareness and funds for research at a time when it
cost her work, including testifying before a House Committee to fund research.
She has worked to educate people about Climate Change for over 40 years,
including testifying before a Senate Committee in 1987. Currently, she uses her
social media platforms to educate people about the risks of Long Covid,
following even a mild infection, as well as politics, archeology, paleontology,
and flower pictures. Also, she is a very silly person…
 Cathryn Hartt is an award-winning, Juilliard-trained
Acting/Life Coach. Her clients include Debi Ryan, Jaz Sinclair, Laya Hayes,
Hunter Parrish, Courtney Hope…and, of course, her first student was her sister,
Morgan Fairchild. She is known for her deep connection to her students (whom
she adores), her butt-kicking passion and zaniness. Her politics is
“kindness”…and she inspires others to find their voices and powers. Her
favorite advice: “We lift each other up together.” Her main goal with everybody
she works with is to convince them to believe in themselves. Then, they can do
anything.
