Information about Suzanne Rogers

Suzanne Rogers (born Suzanne Crumpler on July 9, 1944 in Colonial Heights, Virginia) is an Emmy Award-winning American actress. Rogers's stage name was inspired by Hollywood star Ginger Rogers.

A former Rockette, she is best known for playing Maggie Horton on the daytime serial Days of our Lives beginning in 1973. Her character was killed off in 2003 (a way to reduce the DOOL's budget), the third victim of the Salem Stalker story arc. The storyline was controversial, and resulted in the firing of nine veteran actors over the course of a year. After ratings for the serial declined, lifetime executive producer Ken Corday rehired all of the fired actors with new contracts. The storyline was explained as being a hoax. Rogers is the only current cast member on DOOL to have won an Emmy in a competitive category.

Rogers was diagnosed with the rare muscle disease myasthenia gravis in 1984, but is currently in remission. Later, Rogers insisted that her character, Maggie, be diagnosed with the same disease on the show, in order to educate viewers.

Married and divorced once, to actor Sam Groom, Rogers resides in Studio City, California.
