Her surrogate daughter, Darla, was also married to Thorne until her life was tragically cut short recently (see main article). Her daughter, Macy Alexander, was married to Thorne Forrester (Winsor Harmon) for quite a number of years, and had a long on-again/off-again relationship. However, the feud between them ended in later years, as the two women came to more fully understand and respect one-another. These actions did not take kindly with Stephanie Forrester ( Susan Flannery) and the two began a long feud. Sally was fascinated with the Forrester family and often crashed many Forrester family events. Sally always kept the Forresters on their toes and often managed to get one up on them. Sally, in fact, was absolutely crazy about Eric. Eric Forrester (John McCook) admired her scrappiness, since that was how his father was when he began working in fashion. Her relationships with the Forrester family were mixed. With the help of her Spectra family Sally managed to prove Clarke's infidelity to court and thus avoided losing her company. Sally's fears were realized when she discovered that Clarke was involved with Kristen Forrester (then played by Terri Ann Linn). Despite the fact that Clarke at first claimed to be impotent he eventually fathered C.J. Despite being warned by her family and friends that Clarke only wanted her company Sally married him. Also seen often was fashion designer Clarke Garrison ( Daniel McVicar), who Sally at first blackmailed to design for Spectra while working for Forrester but later crossovered to Spectra completely and began to woo Sally. At Spectra, Sally was usually helped by her daughter Macy Alexander (Bobbie Eakes), Sally's receptionist, Darla Einstein (Schae Harrison), who Sally thought of as a daughter and Saul Feinberg (Michael Fox). For most of that time, the company was called a knock-off firm, since her designers often stole from the more established Forrester firm. She was often compared to the gal pal in old time movies.įor many years, Sally owned and operated Spectra Fashions (later renamed Spectra Couture).

She was known for her large figure, open and very jovial personality, and her trademark red coiffure.

Sally, among other things, was a woman who lived life large.
