Brenda Dickson (born February 3, 1949 in Long Beach, California) is an American actress. Dickson was a beauty pageant contestant who won the title of Miss California (preliminary to Miss World) 1967. After a number of years making commercials and appearing on game shows as a panelist, she was cast as one of the first cast members of the daytime drama The Young and the Restless. She was on the show as Jill Foster Abbott when it launched in 1973 until 1980. She left the show to become a real-life housewife. However, her marriage soon ended and she returned to acting. In 1983, she reprised the role of Jill on The Young and the Restless, and her performance as the show's villainess supposedly pushed the soap opera to the top of the ratings. She played the role until 1987, when she was replaced by Jess Walton, who continues to play the role to this day. The role of vampy, trampy Jill garnered Dickson and the show a great deal of attention. During her first run on the show, she was given the controversial storyline of the ingenue Jill falling in love with the rich husband of client Katherine Chancellor. Her involvement on the serial merited a brief cameo in the film Taxi Driver, where Robert De Niro's character accidentally knocks over and breaks his television set while he watches Dickson play Jill. During Dickson's second run on the show, she was given another controversial storyline where Jill sleeps with her stepson Jack Abbott and then is blackmailed for it. News tip: "Book party and signing for filmmaker Tom Kennedy and his new horror novel, THE TWELVE. Celebrities expected: Andy Garcia, Kim Delaney, Deborah Pollack [Sixteen Candles], Nadia Bjorlin and Brandon Beemer [Days of Our Lives], Boti Bliss [CSI: Miami], Jason Widener & Lorena Segura [Amazing Race 2007], Patrika Darbo [Hatchet] and many others.
