Phoenix Television Tell-All Mailbag
Q. Is it possible that the sizzling sexpot who played Vanessa Vance on the juicy nighttime soap opera Skin Deep is alive and well and living in our city’s midst? I’m a big fan of Heads Up, the nationally syndicated talk show filmed here in Phoenix, Arizona, and I swear I saw Phoebe Lane (Vanessa’s real name) in the show’s credits, as makeup artist. Could it be the same leggy blonde—and is she single?
A. It’s true—the knockout Phoebe Lane has turned in her SAG card and is working off camera, applying some cosmetic tricks she learned on those Hollywood sets. You might also be surprised to know that Ms. Lane is a bombshell and an egghead, meaning she’s studying biochemistry at Arizona State University—and the curvy lady is setting the class curve. But she doesn’t spend every night with her books…. Though Ms. Lane swears she’s “single and loving it,” she’s been spotted cozying up with Wyatt Madison, producer of Heads Up. Looks as if Ms. Lane may be living her very own soap opera, right here in Phoenix—dating an older man who also happens to be her boss!

Chapter 14
The Mystique of the Older Man
What is it about an older man that intrigues us? His debonair demeanor? That irresistible wisp of gray at his temples? The rich life experiences he has to share?
Actually, it’s all these—and more. The “December” man may think a “May” woman is a prize—a bit of a trophy. But honestly, it is the distinguished, mature bachelor who is the lady’s conquest.
What do I mean? Well, this is a man who has held fast to his single lifestyle for decades, turning his back on any relationship that dared to get too close to commitment. Then a fresh-faced female comes along, and wham! Before he knows it, he’s on his honeymoon. He didn’t just happen to relinquish his seat in the Bachelors’ Hall of Fame. He was tamed by a younger woman….
