The role was originated by Hillary B. Smith in September 1992 and she remained on the show through the original television finale on January 13, 2012.〔(Hillary B. Smith bio abc.com )〕 Smith reprised the role when new regular episodes of ''OLTL'' began airing on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network in April 2013. ==Casting== Nora is portrayed by actress Hillary B. Smith. Nora was introduced as a guest character in 1992, by head writer Michael Malone and executive producer Linda Gottlieb. Prior to her casting in ''One Life to Live'', Smith was already an established actress in the genre of daytime drama. She had previously starred as Kit McCormick on ''The Doctors'' in 1982, and one year later, taking over the role of Margo Montgomery Hughes on ''As the World Turns'', a role she played from 1983 to 1990. When she won the role of Nora on the show, producers were impressed with her hard-nosed approach to the character, but wanted Smith to become a redhead and show Nora's soft side. Her first front-burner storyline was a six-week trial in which she defended local villain Todd Manning (Roger Howarth) and his fraternity brothers, who were accused of gang-raping college coed Marty Saybrooke (Susan Haskell). The actress said in an interview with ''Soap Opera Digest'', "When (Producer ) Linda Gottlieb told me () would be representing the rapists and would get them off, I was nauseated. To let the rapists get off — I thought that was a really bad message."〔 Smith later persuaded the writers to change the outcome and a mistrial was declared.〔 Almost immediately after her debut, Smith, in the role of Nora, became a centerpiece of the show, particularly for her involvement in the multiple-Emmy Award winning rape trial storyline. Smith considered leaving the drama on several occasions.〔 When her contract was set to expire in 2005, Smith's character was put into a six-month coma. However, she signed another four-year contract that following December.〔 Smith inked a new contract again in 2010, making her a mainstay on the soap for twenty years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nora Hanen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
