Contrary to reports, The Young and The Restless alum Brenda Dickson was NOT arrested trying to crash to Hollywood Christmas Parade. The parade featured a special 40th Anniversary tribute to the soap where Brenda played Jill Abbott – an infamous villain for 13 years. Unfortunately she had an affair with her much older producer on the show and he fired her when she broke it off. Brenda wrote all about it in her tell-all “My True Hidden Hollywood Story.” Now the producer’s SON is in charge of the show and still holds a grudge- he blackballed Brenda from joining other past and present cast members at the anniversary celebration. A lesson to be learned…

About The Author
Brenda Dickson’s book is a must read for any fans of her. So, go out and buy her book!!
This is a joke…I really want to know how you can have a 40th Anniversary tribute without the “Star” of the Show? Brenda Dickson originated the part of Jill Foster Abbott and the Bells kept her from attending? I mean they kept the STAR from Attending? How boring that Parade must have been….The Bells have a “Problem” and it’s called Jealousy. Ooops I shouldn’t say that, they may blacklist me from the Internet!! Everyone should go out and Purchase Brenda’s book “My True Hidden Hollywood Story”, for the Holidays. You all will LOVE it because it tells the “Truth”….However, if you want lies, you may want to see if the Bells wrote a book…Happy Holidays.
Brenda has always fascinated me with her heartbreaking and sincere performances of Jill Abbott when she was on the show. I will be receiving her book in a few days and I can’t wait to read all about her life during that time. Everyone should buy the book which promises to tell the truth of really happened.
To me, Brenda Dickson WAS the Young and the Restless. Her character and storylines are what drew me to the show in the 70’s. When she left in 1980, my viewership left with her. What an exciting day when she returned to the role she originated in 1983! That event drew me back to the show and kept me loyally watching until she was unfairly “fired” in the summer of 1987. I have read Brenda’s newly released memoir twice (both times in a single sitting)and highly recommend it. What a interesting life this woman led before starring on the Soap. You’ll also learn the real reasons why Brenda was robbed of her home and possessions, as well as why we, the viewers, have been robbed of her talent and performances these past 26 years. Thank goodness this book was written and answers so many of the questions left by the contradictory reports of Brenda’s “firing”.
Wonder who the much older producer was back then? Bill Bell?
Um excuse me…but yes she is innocent. It’s the Bell family and the good old boys in Hawaii who have to answer to God for what they’ve done.
What good old boys in Hawaii, Elizabeth Harvey? What does that mean?
Brends being lies within Truthfulnes
All of the STARS in Heven will twinkel twice
when her property has beem returned Rightfully.

Brenda,has been through so much. Now, she needs to win her court cases to get back what is rightfully hers!
I JUST WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THE AUDIENCE ON THIS REVIEW. I HAVE READ MISS DICKSON’S BOOK TWICE. MISS DICKSON DID NOT HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH BILL BELL BUT THERE WAS ENTRAPMENT, SEXUAL HARASSMENT. HE FIRED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS LEAVING. HE KNEW THE AUDIENCE WOULD FALL. THERE WERE 11 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHING MISS DICKSON AND 3 MILLION REMAINED AFTER SHE LEFT.
Brenda’s book is a true Hollywood story that is so juicy and true hard to put the book down read the whole thing in 2 days. LOVED IT
She’s not a somebody but was happy to give up plenty of behind to achieve fame!
Good lord, did Brenda write all these comments herself?
How ridculous that nowadays people can blantantly write and tell grandiose interpretations and use pressure of speech and rant on and on about things that are untrue. Dont you comnenters realize her claims are from a mental diagnosis. Its obvious. And nowadays people like her can slander others. Sad state if affairs.
