According to this interview w/ Agnes Nixon, Irna Phillips gave her her first job. Irna Phillips is the creator of As The World Turns.

'And As the World Turns? How’d you feel about that?'

'The same. That was my job before I was head writer of Guiding Light. Irna Phillips gave me my first job out of college. I loved the show. But again, when you talk about the difference in those days… When Irna started As the World Turns, Nancy and Hugh had to have twin beds. They were married and they couldn’t be shown in a double bed together.'
