Jennifer Pace Phillips is a fictional character from the American soap opera Search for Tomorrow. The role was originated by actress Robin Eisenman in 1973, and was subsequently portrayed by Morgan Fairchild from 1973 to 1977.
The role of Jennifer Pace was originated by actress Robin Eisenman in 1973, and was subsequently played by Morgan Fairchild from 1973 to 1977.[1][2] Fairchild came to New York City in 1973 but could not secure a talent agent, as "Nobody thought I had the right look for New York in '73. Everybody kept saying, 'Oh, no, you're too elegant', 'You're too porcelain', 'You're too this, you're too that'."[3] She signed with Ford Models. According to Fairchild, "I was told, 'Okay, this is a big break for us, we're trying to break into the soap opera market and you are our one person who can talk.'"[3] The agency sent her to audition for Search for Tomorrow, but she did not get the part. The show soon called the agency back to say, "We had somebody we hired to play the bitch a few weeks ago and she's not working out, we want to hire Morgan for that."[3] That role was Jennifer Pace.[3]
