My Take
Jennifer Salt's arc is the kind I find genuinely interesting: she started in front of the camera, earned a Theatre World Award in 1971 and fame as Eunice on Soap, then moved decisively behind it as a writer and producer. That transition tells me she understood how the industry actually works, not just how to perform within it. Moving from being shaped by stories to shaping them takes both nerve and insight. I tend to root for people who reinvent their position in a business that usually discards performers, and her durability and command of the medium make her one of them.
