Celebrating 45 Years of Days of Our Lives

DAYS and the The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will host “Celebrating 45 Years of Days of Our Lives” on Tuesday, September 28.

Days of our Lives Pairs Up with The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for a Special Anniversary Night!

This November, NBC’s Days of Our Lives will celebrate 45 years on air. In celebration for this historical milestone, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and Days of Our Lives will host “Celebrating 45 Years of Days of Our Lives” at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre on Tuesday, September 28.

Jon Jordon, of Detroit’s Local 4 WDIV-TV NBC Affiliate will moderate the event’s six panels featuring talent, producers and executives who have been a part of Days of Our Lives for the past forty-five years. Topics for the panel include character discussions, growing up in Salem and on set, and the business aspect of the show.

Also making its debut are behind the scenes photos from DAYS’ new archive book Days of Our Lives: 45 Years A Celebration In Photos. The book and photos will be exhibited in the main lobby of the Leonard H. Goldenson Theater as guests enter for the evening. The book will be available in November, followed shortly by DAYS’ new fiction series, Salem’s Secrets, Scandals and Lies.
