The Young and the Restless News: Kym Douglas Opens Up About Her Role On The Soap
Even though the motivational speaker is used to being in front of the cameras and in front of large audiences, Kym told Soap Opera Digest that when it was time to film for The Young and the Restless, she was a different kind of nervous. She said, “ I’m representing my late husband at his [TV] home that he was at for over 35 years. And I’m also showing our son, Hunter, his dad’s legacy and that his work will live on and he touched a lot of people and maybe even continues to do so through the character John Abbott, who [Co-Creator/Former Head Writer] Bill Bell so brilliantly created. And so this had a different level of intensity and integrity for me. It’s one thing to just be funny and make them laugh on ELLEN, but this was a whole different heartfelt [level] so I had extra pressure.”
That said though, Kym made sure to come to work fully prepared, especially when it came to what to wear for her episode. Kym said that thankfully, she got to work with Tony in wardrobe. She said, “I got up extra early and I emptied out my entire wardrobe! I should have had a U-Haul because I brought every outfit known to man. I pulled onto the lot with my 900 outfits and I’m carrying my makeup bag. Why? I don’t know, because they have excellent makeup. I’m also carrying my hair stuff. Why? Again, I don’t know. I’ve got 45 pairs of heels because God forbid we pick the pink dress with the brown. Of course, the first thing Tony showed me fit like a glove, which was a red dress. It was perfect and I never even tried on one of my outfits.”

She also said that this experience is something that she’ll never forget. Kym put it this way, “I haven’t really revealed this on any of my social media or in interviews yet, but I come from the school of ‘Pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ and that’s been kind of my motto in life.”
