When the scenes during Marlena's possession were taped, Deidre's voice was mechanically altered live during the taping, that is why during the whole possession, you may have noticed that nobody spoke immediately before or after the devil (Marlena).

Deidre's twin sister, Andrea Gengler, was teacher of the year at Princess Anne Middle school (she taught the handicap kids and drama). She also played Marlena's twin sister on the show (Samantha)and made an appearence in the tv movie about Deidra Halls real life story.

Fabulously fit Deidre keeps in shape by working out with a trainer who comes to her house about four days a week. Remarkably, the actress is still able to fit into the size-eight wardrobe she wore when she first appeared on Days back in 1976.

Among her professional role models, Dee includes Bette Davis and those grande dames of that period. They were so well trained, and those movies were so full of drama, flair, melodrama, she raves.

Dee collects the answering machine messages her sons leave her when they call her at work. "you can hear the progression of their ages, emotions, where they are in their lives," she says.

Deidre originally turned down the role of Marlena, thinking that there must have been a reason that everyone else had turned down the role. It was a few months later that the role was offered to her again. Days made it clear that they wanted her and only her for the role, so she came on board.

Deidre was once a disc jockey at an all-women radio station while college in Florida.
