Who is Susan Seaforth Hayes?

Susan Seaforth Hayes (nee Seabold) was born in Oakland, California USA, on 11 July 1943 – her zodiac sign is Cancer and she holds American nationality. She is an actress who might still be known best for her role of Julie Williams in the romantic drama series “Days of Our Lives” created by Irna Phillips, Allan Chase and Ted Corday, and which has been running since 1965, counting close to 13,000 episodes.

Childhood and education

Susan was raised in Oakland solely by her mother Elizabeth Harrower, as her father Harry Seabold fought in World War II and didn’t get to see his daughter for the first time until she was around three years old. Susan’s mother was a screenwriter and an actress, who was at one point a writer for two series – “Days of our Lives” and “The Young and the Restless”.

Susan attended a local high school at which she was mostly interested in acting, appearing in nearly all the plays performed at the school as well as in a local theatre.

Upon matriculation in 1961, she chose not to immediately enroll at a college but to focus on her acting career – she eventually attended Los Angeles City College, and obtained her Bachelor’s degree in history.

Susan has been credited with roughly 60 roles in movies and TV series, and we are about to mention some of her most notable performances in this article.
