Come celebrate the birthday of the one and only Kim Zimmer herself live in The Locher Room on her birthday, February 2 at 3 p.m. EST. Let’s show this four-time Emmy Award-winner some love by raising money for one of her favorite charities, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Kim made her daytime television debut as Bonnie Harmon on ABC’s One Life to Live in 1978. In 1979, she replaced Kathleen Turner in the role of Nola Dancy Aldrich on The Doctors before returning to the role of Echo DiSavoy on One Life to Live. In 1983 Kim took Springfield by storm creating the iconic role of Reva Shayne on the long running Guiding Light. Kim played the part with everything she had for over 20 years earning four Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress.
When Kim left Guiding Light in 1990 for five years, she joined the cast of Santa Barbara as Jodie DeWitt Walker and landed some memorable prime-time roles on Seinfeld, Designing Women and MacGyver to name a small few.
Kim has starred in many stage roles, including several at The Barn Theater in Augusta, MI including Blood Brothers, Mama Mia, The Lion in Winter, Gypsy, Sunset Boulevard, Hello Dolly! to name a small few. Kim also joined the first North American tour of Broadway's Wicked where she played the role of Madame Morrible.
Kim has been married to A.C. Weary for almost 41 years and together they have three children Rachel, Max and Jake. Today Kim and A.C. enjoy spending time with their three grandchildren, Vincent, Sophie and Reed.
Join me on Wednesday, Feb 2 to celebrate my friend, the remarkable Kim Zimmer!

Love Kim !! Our beautiful, emotional Reva!! She is magical!! Happy Birthday!!
💜💜
Happy 67th Kim💕💐⭐ I miss watching Reva everyday! Almost 13 yrs gone..wOw.🤯
❤️
U aren't alone.i miss guiding light and Reva every day 2. Kim has been my favorite since she started on guiding light and always will be.
Such a nice treat. Happy birthday to the STAR of Springfield.
❤️❤️ Thanks for watching.
Kim Zimmer Reva was the best on guiding light and will always be my favorite.love ya Kim.
Thank you Alan!!! Kim Zimmer is the penultimate actress who is sorely missed on daytime! Happy Birthday Kim 🎈
You are very welcome, Brian! Thank you so much.
Kim Zimmer was the best in Daytime. I met Kim in the 80s she was a delight.
Couldn't agree more, Cheryl!
I love Kim so much. Guiding Light was and still is my favorite daytime drama. My favorite scene of hers would have to be the infamous fountain scene with Josh and probably everything else. I actually met her at one of their luncheons in New York. I was so in awe. Happy Birthday, Kim and many many more. ❤🕊🎂
Thanks for watching, Travis. I so appreciate it.
I loved the fountain scene but I never thought of Reba as a slut..So therefore I got a bit miffed that it was shown so much..
Thank you for this. Absolutely love Kim Zimmer. I am a superfan and have always loved both her work and her as a person.
Could't agree more, Rick!
Happy Birthday to the one and only Kim Zimmer! One of the best actresses in Daytime and elsewhere! Nobody could cry like you on screen! Wishing you all the blessings and miss seeing on the screens!
Right on, Dee! 😉
What a treat. Kim will always be my Meryl Streep. Just a fantastic talent and it’s so great to see she’s a solid person in real life. I will always remember the respect she had for GL as an institution.
Thanks for tuning in, Grant. I appreciate it.
Kim is always a dream! Thank you Alan for asking her about her female co-stars and not just the guys. She indeed had chemistry with everyone.
You're so welcome. Thanks for tuning-in.
Ah Kim… nothing will ever beat the chemistry she and Laura had as the Shayne sisters.. … they were the perfect match and I totally believed they were sisters.. Love Kim and I remember watching her at 18 or 19 back in 97’-98 and her characters strength and love of family reminded me of my own Mom. She’s the absolute best.. the Queen of Guiding Light heroines 🙌🏽
Great interview once again bro! Thanks for doing these!
You're very welcome, Brandon. I'm so happy you are tuning in and most of all enjoying them.
I loved GL and a large part of that was because of Kim. During the final week of GL I had a young man in my house working on internet. He said that's Reva. I used to sit with my mom and watch her. His mom had passed and it was a good memory for him. That show was important to so many people, for so many reasons. I met one of my best friends when we were on CBS website telling them how unhappy we were about the cancellation. I know it won't happen, but I so wish it could come back. We need some fun escapism. Thanks for the memories Kim. Thanks for the interview Alan. 💖
What a great story! Thank you for sharing and for tuning-in!
Such wonderful memories..We have that in common..My mom was a housewife so I grew up with soaps..Love um..A bit disillusioned with B&B as the same storyline happens over and over..Liam at a young age I think has been married more than Liz Taylor..lol
Loved Kim since GL and miss her……thanks Alan for this…….going to be watching Robert aka Josh starting on Y& R this month…
@Kathlene Miller - “Soap Opera Digest “ said he is on February 9 !!
Loved Guiding Light and Reva!! She and Josh were great together. I won't be watching Robert on Y&R thought because it is simply not a classic soap like GL and ATWT!!
@@mjj1434 I'll have to record that!
@@josephgraefe4886 Well now, honey, I wouldn't go that far. I used to watch it in Junior High when I would skip my classes after lunch (the teachers never took role). That was 1973. So I think it might qualify as a classic. 🙂
Me too! Josh and Reva are my all time favorite supercouple! Would love to see Kim show up on Y & R for some of that Kim and Robert magic!
Kim is amazing!! I love hearing that she's watching daytime and and loving the work of her former castmates and network mate as in her being the big fan of Maura West.
V
I love that too, Terry. So fun that she's watching her former co-stars.
Happy Birthday! Big Kim fan here going back to her days before GL on The Doctors as Nola Aldrich.
Me too. And in Body Heat.
Thank you for tuning-in.
Thank you for tuning in.
I loved Guiding Light so much. I will forever miss it. I loved your work on the show Kim...you were amazing! Happy Birthday!
We all miss our Springfield!
Reva was my mother's favorite, and someone had commented to her she looked like her. She beamed for months. I lost my mom was she was only 62 and the resemblance of Kim now and how she talks and acts, feels like seeing my mom. Didn't expect that, but it makes me smile.
Thanks for sharing, Betsy. Love hearing this. Big hugs.
This was soooo good!! How lucky are we that we got to watch this brilliant woman and her amazing costars on GL for all those years! Miss them and the show still! You’re a treasure, Kim Zimmer! 💓
Couldn't agree more! I was wondering how come I didn't get a text after you were done 😘. You spoil me!
Kim Zimmer is my favorite and family 4 ever and always.
Always❤
I miss watching Kim on tv so much! She is such a great actress & recently saw her singing the blues! She was so awwsome!💕💕
Agreed, Jeanne!
Thanks so much for this. Kim is just so full of life and joy and it carried over to her performances. Loved the shout-out for Michelle Forbes; I was obsessed with the Sonni/Solita story. Forbes was absolutely robbed by the Emmys the year that finished.
Thank you, Adam. Much appreciated!
Michelle Forbes sure was robbed, she was incredible in that role!
Agreed Michelle Forbes was amazing such a cool beauty and what an actress. That was a complicated story with so many twists and turns. Too bad she left so soon after the story ended. Loved that final scene where the ticket agent asked her “smoking or non smoking” shows how long ago that was. Smoking on an airplane? Lol
Kim is my favorite and family 4 ever and always.i still can't believe she said thank u to me for wishing her happy birthday.i was happy and that made my day.love ya Kim always.
I had to tell her you wished her a Happy Birthday. Thanks for all your support, messages and for watching.
Thanks Alan I couldn't wait to see Kim and wish her happy birthday.i was happy she said thank u Amy.
Thank you Alan for this…loved Kim ever since GL. Happy Birthday to you.
You are very welcome, Kathlene.
Loved the interview. I remember reading her book as soon as it was published. Kim is not only an exquisite actress but I can see that she’s a great friend to all that know her.
Her book honestly changed my view on acting so much. It was a great read.
It was so fun to read. I wish I could find it.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Maybeth. I hope you're doing fantastic.
I just watched the scene with Reva laughing about Kyle taking over Lewis oil and that laughter turned to anguish when she heard on the phone that Roxy might be dead.She just crushed in that scene!
I assume that's online? I need to find that, Dan. Thanks for the reminder of that great scene.
@@TheLocherRoom Yes the RUclips rabbit hole.Kyle Sampson had just taken over so it's 1984 or early 85?
@@TheLocherRoom Look for early March 1985 for the clip.Have a good one!
Love to Kim Zimmer.. Happy belated Birthday..I almost stopped watching GL when she left..Hugs and Kisses to one of my favorite actresses💖😊
🩵🩵
Thank you so much for this interview, I absolutely adore Kim❤️
You're very welcome, Jessica. Thanks for watching it.
Hi Alan ,Kim is worth the wait !!!!!
Right? Thanks for watching, Roselle.
I love her so much
😍❤️😍
Alan, you were born to bring people together & this is a truly great way to do it! I am so grateful to you for this channel! I was so heart-broken when "Guiding Light" ended & this is like a miracle dream-come-true! A million thanks yo you!🎉🎉🎉
I so appreciate you taking the time to let me know how much you enjoy TLR. Thank you, Jeanne. Happy New Year!
Hello Kim,. I'm viewing this a little late, but had to tell you how much I miss those "Guiding Light" days, was a huge fan back in the day! I loved all the actors on the show, & I was so heartbroken when it came to an end!😞 I was excited to find out that you were coming on this show. And last week, I find out "your old flame" Joshua, is coming to my fav soap now, Y&R, talk about excited, I can't wait to see him act on it soon!
You look wonderful, Kim, & a belated HB to you from a long-time fan, it's good to see you again! 🥰🎂🍹
Thanks for watching, Janice. Much appreciated.
Hi! I stumbled upon this interview and I became a subbie because of it.I miss my favorite CBS soaps!
I'm so glad to hear that, Willie. Glad to have you on board.
So glad to have found this interview. I started watching GL w/my mother in 1976, I was 7yrs old. Loved the mentions of the many actors she worked with in Daytime. I especially cherished the mentions of Larkin Malloy. I was a huge Fan of Kyle & Reva. When they abruptly ended their storyline, I was so mad that I quit watching the show. Never saw Jeva’s wedding. I ended up watching Santa Barbara instead for several years. I eventually went back to GL, but I still think that Kyle & Reva were the BEST. I’m so happy to be able to revisit that storyline on RUclips. I think time opposite Larkin was some of her best work. If you do another interview, I’d love to know how & why Larkin left that role so quickly. I know MANY fans that were not happy. I’m just wondering if he left on good terms. He ended up opposite Susan Lucci but still thought his best work was on GL. Did she loosen his seriousness up in scenes? They had that bubble bath scene which looked challenging & fun. They were magic onscreen for me; 17 years old at the time. Fantastic Interview. I’m now subscribing.
Thank you, Jay! I appreciate you watching this show. I hope you'll check out a few others.
Kyle and reva.. My 1st favorite super couple that I remember. I was 11 and just in love with Kyle. I am almost 50 now. I wish I could have found that kind of love that they seem to have have....sigh. lol
I love this lady. I feel like I grew up with her. I did actually! 🙂
So wonderful how on Guiding Light, even as she was older, she still got all the hot guys! 😀
She got all the hot men of Springfield and the talented ones.
As always....outstanding interview, Alan. The legendary Lady Zimmer never disappoints. Gotta love her. Thx, again.
Thanks, Ozzie. Glad you enjoyed it.
That was Lovely Alan ;) Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching.
@@TheLocherRoom You Know Alan?
I Feel "The Locher Room" is a Little GL Feeling. you Bring People Together ;)
Like GL Before^^
I watched the Guiding Light, through the 70’s to the 90’s. Loved Reba and Josh…
😍😍😍
Thanks Alan as always for this interview!
You bet, Connie. Thanks for watching.
Please tell Kim I said Happy Birthday!!! She is my Birthday twin for she and I share the same birthday. Always wanted to meet her!!!
Oh I love that! Happy belated, Jalina. I hope you had a great day.
@@TheLocherRoom Thank you so much!!!
One of mine and my late Mom's favoite daytime actresses of all time, she is daytime royalty for sure, she is sorely missed, it would be very interesting to have her team up with Robert Newman when he assumes the role of "Ashland Locke" later on this month on Y and R, another great interview, thanks so much for all that you do for us daytime drama fans and wishing Kim many more birthdays to come and Alan I didn't hear you ask how was it working with Nicole Forester who took over the role of "Cassie" after Laura Wright left..
Thanks for watching, Cathlean. I love Nicole and didn't meant to leave her off the list. 😍
Hi Kim! Happy Birthday! You should join Joshua on the young & Restless! It definitely could use your spice!!
and she would spice any show that would be lucky to have her on it...
That would be great, she could play his devious ex-wife to cause trouble between him and Victoria.
Your the best would love to see you on days of our lives
❤️
Happy birthday Reva/Echo
😍😍
What a Beautiful Woman 👩, and she has a beautiful singing voice.
Is Kim a soprano or a mezzo-soprano?
And Happy birthday
She certainly does, Quincy!
@@TheLocherRoom How are you doing Alan.
@@TheLocherRoom Thanks for finding her,Alan and for everything you do.
I am so sorry I missed the LIVE!!!!
I hope you enjoyed it, Rod!
Loved GL. Its a crime that its off.
You are so right!
Reva and Josh...best couple ever❤.We miss you. ❤
Mwah!
Another good show. I like the rapid fire questions of her co-stars. The best were Michelle Forbes (who embraced Sonni & Solita a bit too much….LOL!!!!) and Cynthia Watros as Annie (no one has ever done crazy like her). Keep up the good work.
Thanks for tuning in, DAJ! I appreciate the note.
"Damm I was Good" !! XD That was great from Kim.
😂😂
Thank you, Alan, for having Kim Zimmer, as your guest! I love her so much! She is every gay man’s hag!
You're so welcome, Joey and you are so right. 😍
i hoped she watched the prologue photoplay!! it was great. this woman is interesting. i love ur vids. i grew up in a house of all 'women' so was forced to watch most "soaps" ever' day!! but i'll never forget her in body heat. people are so interesting. i'm so glad you're contributing to st jude on here. i want a question answer session w/people on here. i don't think you'd get too many crazy ones . . .
Thanks so much for tuning in for the show. I so appreciate it.
@@TheLocherRoom thx, i can't ever 'get on' for things, live . . .
What Kim Zimmer and company did with Reva Shayne on "Guiding Light" was something akin to Tennessee Williams. It was just fantastic, and people still talk about it to this day (thanks to Alan, for continuing the discussion). I do believe when Ms. Zimmer (Mrs. Weary) was on "One Life", the first time as Echo, so was Elizabeth Hubbard in a recurring role as a society matron before both ladies went on to play two of their most iconic roles as Reva Shayne and Lucinda Walsh respectively.
Thanks for the support, Erik! Glad you enjoy the shows.
@@TheLocherRoom Alan, do you know what might be fun, (if I may make a suggestion, because I am sure those never stop coming, lol) - because we have the Oscars coming up - what if there was a way to do a Daisy Awards/OLTL reunion - with Jessica Tuck (Megan), Sharon Sharth (nee Schlarth - Spring), Fia Porter (Audrey) and Tammy Amerson (Mary Lynn) and Robert S. Woods (Bo). It would be so fun to hear the experience of how that storyline came to be, and what went into producing such an elaborate episode for daytime which sincerely had the look and feel of the Soap Opera Awards. And it would just be fun to hear from Mr. Woods again, and fans haven't heard from Ms. Tuck, Ms. Sharth, Ms. Porter and Ms. Amerson in a while? Again, just a suggestion - also, I think you should be interviewed, seriously! By someone personable, who gives you a great intro and asks you for 30 minutes at least about your experience in daytime. We always get to hear snippets, but never in chronological order - and you have helped us so much during Covid, by letting us hear, see our favorites and even setting up fundraisers! Just a thought :)
Great and fun interview. I laughed out loud. I too, would like to know who Pam Long’s first choice for Reva was? I assume it was a Texas Actress like Carla Borelli
Thanks so much, Tom. Much appreciated!
Can't believe it took me this long to watch this interview! I believe Kim could not remember the name of the actor who played Cain Harris - it was Jerry Lanning (he also worked on Texas and SFT). He is also not deceased, to the best of my knowledge. Has been working in theatre, including on Broadway, for many years. He would be an interesting guest for one of your interviews, Alan!
Thank you, Ashley. I just looked him up on Facebook to see if I can reach him.
Love this! Have you ever interviewed Vanessa? I loved Maeve Kincaid!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Alan. Here's one you will love with Maeve as well
ruclips.net/video/TqV59Js4p0g/видео.html
Alan, it was wonderful seeing the interview with Kim. I would have liked you to ask her about working with three icons of daytime:Charita Bauer, Audrey Peters and Mary Stuart.
I'm sorry I didn't ask about those three. She'll just have to come back some time.
@@TheLocherRoom And encourage her to record her book!
In all those pictures I kept saying “who’s that guy?” It was Alan! What a cutie he was (and still is)
Awwww -- thank you so much. I appreciate that. Hope you enjoyed the show.
Alan,please ask Kim when you get a chance how did she feel when she heard her friend Robert got the role of Aslhand on Y&R .Thank you .
I hope you heard how excited she is to watch him.
Reply.. loved it.
Thank you, Debbie!
This was so fun!! And I REALLY want to know who Pam Long's first choice for "Reva" was!!
I think it was a friend of Pam's if I remember correctly, but don't know who.
Just Kim Zimmer she is amazing Had seen her on Guiding Light for years As Reva Shane Lewis Farhana Rahman
Couldn't agree more!
There are now only 4 soap operas unfortunately its sad
😢
Wish you could’ve touched on the story of Santa Barbara and her last return to One Life to live
👍👍
Hey Dr Mike. I’m 60 years old. 5’11” current weight is 175. My body fat is 20%. I’ve lost 40 lbs in the last 3 years but just started weight training a year ago. I would like to get to 165 and/or body fat in the low teens. What should be my macros?
I think you sent this to the wrong person, George.
☆HAPPY BIRTHDAY REVA SHANE LEWIS!☆💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
IT'S MY DINNER TIME COULDN'T GET MY INTERNET TO WORK TO GOOD THIS🤗🤗 AFTERNOON SO I LEFT THE SHOW BUT I'M BACK REVA DARLING SOMETHING HB LEWIS WOULD SAY TO REVA DON'T YOU THINK?💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
With a big, "Whooo-peee!" 😀
I hope you enjoyed it, Vicki!
I wish she did cameo. I'd love to buy a special message from her to my mother
🙏💛🙏
Happy to hear you say people loved Kyle. I always felt Kyle and Reva had much more chemistry than Reva and Josh. They really ruined the couple the way they wrote his exit.
I believe Kim had chemistry with everyone, but Kyle & Reva certainly.
The Locher Room Would love to see a one on one with Maeve Kincaid. As Vanessa she worked with so many actors through her long run.
I’m in the same boat. The writers should have written his exit better. I was so mad at how they ruined his character, I quit watching GL for a couple of years after he left the show. I was captivated by Kim & Larkin’s Chemistry. He was so Romantic and the writing was fantastic up until he left. I think Kim did some of her best work w/Larkin, followed by Tom Pelphrey. She should have won an Emmy for The Woman on the Edge Storyline.
@@jayjoyce435 Agree. I can watch those scenes over and over again. When Reva jumps from the bridge after watching Kyle marry Maeve. 🥲I still can’t understand what the writers were thinking. Kyle was the bad guy even though Maeve let him think his son was dead?? Crazy.
They missed a golden opportunity not pairing Reva and Nola in their early days. When Reva first came to town, Nola could've befriended Reva. Just think of the comedic trouble they could've gotten into. Besides, they were both busy with their own stories that they couldn't have worked it out. 😊😊
It would have been amazing! What a treat for us fans.
Read recently that Nola, Lisa Brown recently died😢
What happened to Maeve Kincaid? She was so good as Vanessa Spaulding.
Also loved Phillip and India, not necessarily as a couple, bc I was a Phillip and Beth fan. But he and India were fascinating characters. 😊
Hi Trish -- Maeve is great. She was a guest back in June
ruclips.net/video/CkyDr8infY4/видео.html
Wow...I'll bet she's still beautiful. That gorgeous skin, and those pretty eyes! She was so striking.
I so miss Reva Shane. Rusty and Roxie too!
Me too! 😍
Michelle Forbes is on New Amsterdam
💜
I wanna know who it was Pam K. Long wanted for Reva!
I believe the rumors it was Carla Borelli (who’d been on Texas with Pam Long). I liked Borelli fine but I suspect Reva would have had a much shorter shelf life had she played the role.
I do believe it was a friend of Pam's and that would make sense.
Michelle Forbes us currently on New Amsterdam
Thanks, Derek. I bet she's amazing on it.
The only soap I watch now is Days. I'd love for them to create a role for Kim Z.
If she would accept it. 😉
Maybe a short-term role....
Jerry Lanning played Cain on GL. After Reva's suicide attempt that Fletcher wrote about.
TONY!!! Yes -- that's his name. I couldn't grab it fast enough. You're the man.
and Btw Alan , She not lost her youth in Her Face.
She Looks Like "Reva" Still ;)
Couldn't agree more!
I don't have a birthday this year. On the bright side. Technically that means. I am only 13 /1 half. ( to be precise ) at the end of the month. A very hard living 13 by the look of things. LOL Oh well. Can't have everything. I also was bitten by the acting bug at a young age. I am a mostly retired singer / actress. Who is also a wheelchair user from birth. I auditioned, & got into a performing arts school. Unfortunately. This was 1983. Before the passage of the ADA ( Americans with Disabilities Act ) The school was quite a distance away. Under the ADA. They would have been forced to provide. Busing, & access. As a consequence of winning enrollment. It was not to be. That was quite a few years away. ( side note ) I wonder if there is something about being a February baby. When it comes to a lot of artists.
That's an interesting thought....Happy February Birthday!
I really got a kick out of her Amish Amnesia storyline. 😂
