Phyllis Diller to Return to CBS's THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL This March

THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL is gearing up for its 25th Anniversary in March, and they are pulling out the big guns! The legendary Phyllis Diller will make a return to the soap for a two-day appearance that month, once again playing Gladys Pope.

The 94-year-old comedienne made numerous visits to B&B between 1995 and 2004 as the nutty makeup artist best bud of Sally Spectra (played by the late, great Darlene Conley). This time around, Gladys has made a bit of a career change, and will play an important part in a very romantic event.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL airs weekdays from 1:30-2:00 PM, ET; 12:30-1:00 PM, PT. The continuing drama combines romance and intrigue and is set against the glittering backdrop of Beverly Hills and the American fashion industry.
