(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — “One Life to Live” remembered the recent passing of the show’s long-time director David Pressman by dedicating the Tuesday, September 27 episode of the soap in his memory.
Pressman, who died on Monday, August 29 at the age of 97, served as director for “One Life” from 1970-1998. Upon retiring, he was soon asked to return for a time to help train the soap’s younger actors. Also in 1998, Pressman returned to his acting roots when he played the Shakespeare-quoting homeless man Bernie Hopper on “OLTL.” He later reprised the role in 2003.
Nominated for several Daytime Emmy Awards, Pressman won for Best Directing in 1976, 1983, and 1984. Prior to joining “One Life to Live,” he also directed several episode of “Another World.”
