Melody Thomas Scott
For 35 years, Melody Thomas Scott has portrayed Nikki Newman on "The Young and the Restless." She explains how she developed a photographic memory in order to remember pages and pages of dialogue for the soap opera with little to no rehearsal. She and her co-stars don't always nail their lines, so Melody tells us how she recovers and improvises after the flub. Plus, the actress even has the show to thank for meeting her husband, with whom she has children.
"The Young and the Restless" airs weekdays at 12:30 ET/11:00 PT on CBS.
Vintage Beauty Tricks with Kym Douglas
As the saying goes, beauty is pain. Dating back several centuries, women have been sacrificing comfort for beauty. Kym Douglas tells us that in 2014 it doesn't have to be that way! She explains how Skineez can shape your silhouette without hurting your organs like girdles and Spanx do. As a replacement to the raw meat face masks of the 1930s, today facemasks have evolved to be made of collagen, seaweed, and even gold. Way back in the 18th century, ladies put lard in their wigs, but nowadays, hairspray does the trick. And, Kym also shows us a special way to get a golden tan.
Kym recommends Rodan & Fields Essentials Foamless Sunning Tan, available at rodanandfields.com.
