cover story
Tina Sloan - A true renaissance
woman, mother, grandmother
W
e had the honor of interviewing Tina Sloan for the cover of our January/February 2013 issue. Click on
the cover image to check out that issue. Following is a brief excerpt:
Tina Sloan, who played nurse Lillian Raines for 26 years on the daytime TV soap opera, Guiding
Light, is a real guiding light for all of us, especially women " of a certain age " (50+).
Tina grew up in a happy family in Bronxville, New York, and learned early in life that she could do whatever
she set her mind to do. Since she was a little girl, Tina knew she wanted to be an actor. Her mother referred
to her as " Sarah Bernhardt, " a famous actress of the day, but she wasn't in favor of her daughter taking this
career path. It was the one bone of contention between mother and daughter (lucky girl). Her mother could
not have been more proud of Tina's successful acting career.
The same determination that drove her to " make it " in show business enabled her to accomplish another
feat: climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. In 1987, she made it all the way to the summit of that 19,700-foot mountain.
When the plug was pulled on Guiding Light in 2009, Tina was devastated. She had grown very
close to her TV family, and to lose them was like losing her real
family. At the same time, she was juggling many personal
challenges, including her only son being deployed to Iraq
while she was being the caregiver for both of her parents.
Tina is, by nature, someone who loves to help others.
So, naturally, she took her caregiver experiences and
the lessons she learned and turned them into a guidebook
for other caregivers.
GRAND recently caught up with Tina who was just
back from Paris.
