All My Children and One Life to Live creator Agnes Nixon will be honored this year at the Daytime Emmy Awards with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced that Agnes Nixon, the grand dame of Daytime serial drama, will receive the 37th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy® Awards Lifetime Achievement Award.

A grand dame she surely is. Ms. Nixon created two daytime dramas that will always be a memory of my lifetime. It’s a much deserved and long overdue honor.
