Jean Dadario Burke
Director, Producer
Jean Dadario Burke is an American television soap opera producer and director, most notably of the daytime television show All My Children. During her career in daytime television, Burke won many Daytime Emmy Awards, primarily as executive producer for that show. She is credited with saving many characters from the canceled soap opera Loving and transporting them to its sequel show, The City, by radically reworking the storyline, changing the setting to New York City, eliminating half of the cast, and bringing in the star Morgan Fairchild. She was part of a team that ultimately took the characters of Loving away from a "stilted upper-middle-class" orientation. She was instrumental in the careers of many daytime actors, including Josh Duhamel.
