I will always be grateful to the lovely and talented COLLEEN ZENK for launching my television career in the 80's when she appeared on my Orlando TV show. Colleen was in town to promote the movie musical "Annie" in which she was featured as a dancer. My dad was recovering from cancer surgery and Colleen turned to the camera and wished Sam May a speedy recovery. My mom, Ruth May, never missed an episode of "As The World Turns" so she could watch her 'Barbara'. Signing COLLEEN ZENK to ABC-TV's "Dancing With The Stars" will give TV audiences a visual delight!
I was in YCI in Niantic CT during March of 2011 - when Miss Zenk-Pinter served 10 days for this drunk driving arrest. She claimed when asked if she was Barbara Ryan from "As The World Turns" that she wasn't - but I have watched that show since I was a little girl - and I knew that it was. and now that I have found the articles stating that she was indeed arrested and charged - I know for certain that it was her in that cell with me.
