Susan Haskell Marty Saybrooke on One Life To Live Emmy Award-winning actress Susan Haskell plays Marty Saybrooke, a young rape survivor who has struggled to find her way back from the night of her brutal attack. Marty has finally found happiness with romantic Irish poet Patrick Thornhart, but his past threatens to place the pair in serious danger. As a result of her vivid portrayal of the troubled Marty, Susan won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 1994. A native of Toronto, Canada, Susan started modeling at age 16 and was cast in numerous commercials while still in high school. She attended Tufts University in Boston where she graduated cum laude with a bachelor of science degree in biopsychology. While at college, Susan enrolled in a drama course. Though she didn't particularly enjoy the class, she was intrigued and decided to pursue acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Throughout, she continued to accept modeling assignments, which often took her to faraway places like Italy, Germany, France, Australia and Japan; and national commercials. Susan's first professional role came in an episode of the syndicated television series, "My Secret Identity"; shortly thereafter she was cast in the feature film, "Strictly Business." Marty Saybrooke is Susan's first daytime role and a unique one at that, as Marty suffers from the medical condition of lupus. Susan's recent television and film projects include a featured role in "Mrs. Winterborn," starring Shirley MacLaine; the miniseries, Danielle Steel's "Zoya"; and "Fast Forward," an "ABC Afterschool Special." Susan is the National Chairwoman for "I Am Worth It -- Campaign for Women in Shelter" in Canada, and she actively works on behalf of the National Head Injury Foundation. Susan is very close with her family, particularly her "younger sister, roommate, and best friend," Carolyn. The two siblings often model together and have appeared in national commercials for Oil of Olay and Burger King. Fluent in French, Susan also studied ballet for eight years, and piano and flute for six years at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. A sports enthusiast, she enjoys running, skiing and golf. Though her original plans of going to medical school are on hold indefinitely, Susan enjoys reading up on psychology and still considers getting her master's degree in family therapy.
