Danielle von Zerneck General Hospital
“A few days ago, I had Katie Couric’s show on while I was resting trying to get rid of a headache. It was a show about adoption. I wasn’t really paying too much attention until I heard one of the guests say that her long lost sister used to be on General Hospital. The guests’ name was Kathy Hatfield.”
She had been given up for adoption in 1964. She ended up discovering she was adopted and found her birth parents after searching online for information. She found out that her biological mother’s name was Julie Mannix von Zerneck. She was also married to Frank who was the biological father to Kathy.
Kathy also had a brother and a sister, Frank, and Danielle respectively. It turns out Kathy’s long lost sister Zerneck used to play Lou on General Hospital!!! Yeah, remember Lou Swenson, she played Blackie’s love interest.
She was killed and Blackie was sent to jail for her murder. Really weird but a very interesting and amazing story. Kathy and her mother Julie co-wrote a book about their story. It’s called Secret Storms: A Mother and Daughter, Lost then Found and is available at Amazon.com. It sounds like a good read and has good reviews.
