Ted Corday
Theodore "Ted" Corday (May 8, 1908 – July 23, 1966) was a producer, director and creator (or co-creator) of many American serials.
==Biography==
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Corday graduated from the University of Alberta and studied law before moving to the United States in 1934. He worked in Broadway for many years before producing dramas for radio, such as ''Tortilla Flat'', ''Tobacco Road'', ''Gangbusters'' and ''Counterspy''. He then moved to television in the 1950s, producing ''Guiding Light'' for a time as well as directing ''As the World Turns'', from its 1956 premiere until 1965.
Corday was later lured to NBC to create three new soap operas. The first two, ''Paradise Bay'' and ''Morning Star'', were not successful, but his third NBC serial, ''Days of Our Lives'', was a big hit and is still in production after 50 years on the NBC network, airing well over 12,000 episodes, a success he could have never imagined but is a living tribute to his creativity, talent and genius in the dramatic serial genre. Corday died just ten months after creating ''Days'', which is now one of the longest running television shows still on the air in the world. He co-created the series along with legend Irna Phillips and Allan Chase.
Before Corday could pen many stories for the serial, he was diagnosed with cancer, and was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. After many months in the hospital, he died on July 23, 1966 at the age of 58. His widow, Betty Corday, continued to produce ''Days of our Lives'' until her death in 1987.
