Mom to her two daughters, Grace and Savannah. Along with her husband, Actor Linden Ashby, Susan, their daughters, their three horses and two dogs reside in Hidden Hills where Susan has also served as President of the Horseman’s Association. The Georgia peach left Chamblee (a suburb of Atlanta) at the age of 18 to go to New York and model with Elite Modeling Agency where she began her acting career playing the role of “Lorna Forbes” on the ABC daytime soap “Loving.” While working on “Loving,” she met her husband, Linden Ashby, with whom she later co-starred on Fox’s hit series “Melrose Place.” The couple will celebrate their nineteenth year anniversary this month.

Walters' additional television credits include series regular roles on “Hotel,” “The Big Easy” and “Dear John,” not to mention a long list of films such as “I Married A Monster,” “ Texas Justice,” “The Brooklyn Contessa,” “In The Line of Duty,” “Two Came Back,” ”Horse Sense” and “Where The Truth Lies.” You may also remember her as the wife of Albert Brooks in the movie “Defending Your Life” or her impressive and memorable role of Priscilla Presley in the 4 hour long movie called "Elvis And Me" based on the book Priscilla Presley wrote herself. Priscilla was also the executive Producer of the production.

Most recently Susan landed the role of Meg Kramer on Fox’s new supernatural drama series Point Pleasant airing on Thursday nights. The peaceful existence of a small seaside community changed when a young girl was rescued from the ocean by a lifeguard and brought to the home of a local doctor. Dr. Kramer, his wife Meg and daughter Judy took an instant liking to the young girl and invited her to stay with them while she searches for clues to her past. Turns out that the young girl is the offspring of a mortal woman and the Devil and must struggle to control her demonic powers. The town of Point Pleasant is now the ultimate battleground of good versus evil. The show possesses an interesting mix which appeals to the “OC” audience yet also embraces the ominous characteristics of a “Rosemary’s Baby” or “Carrie” attracting viewers who enjoy iniquitous encounters. And then, of course, there is that group of spectators that will tune in simply to gawk at the gorgeous cast members. Nevertheless, the show is well done and grabs the audience week after week with an element of surprise and for some…satisfaction one way or the other.

Westlake Magazine’s Q & A with Susan Walters:

WLM: What has been your favorite role?
SW: I loved Elvis and Me because it was my first opportunity after the soap I started on and it was told from my character’s point of view. More recently I did I guest spot on JAG about a mother who lost her son in the Iraqi war and I am grateful to have had my eyes and heart opened to the realities of how brave the military is and how brave their loved ones have to be. I can’t imagine if it were “real life”. I know how much pain I felt and can only hope I did justice to the part.

WLM: How would you describe the difference between your role as Meg Kramer on Point Pleasant and your real life role as a mother?
SW: The role of Meg on Point Pleasant is such a departure for me. The Mom roles I usually play are strong, warm, holding the house together type character’s which is a lot like me in my personal life. Meg probably at one time was all those things but now she suffers from manic depression and hallucinates about her deceased (drowned) daughter. So there is an element of loss, anger and mental anguish that is usually not there for me. In addition, there is a lot of unspoken sadness and blame with her husband. Meg is raw and wounded yet I have added my strengths and humor to show who she was before the tragedy.

WLM: What is the most challenging aspect of raising two daughters?
SW: The most challenging thing about raising two daughters is the teen and pre-teen hormones!!! Also teaching the girl’s to be individuals – not compare or compete with each other. To let others achievements or assets inspire them and to accept themselves for whom they are.

WLM: What are the specifics about how you met your real life husband Linden Ashby and what film projects have you worked on together?
SW: I met Linden when he was day-playing on the soap Loving in 1983. I knew I was going to marry him that day without even speaking to him! It was very weird. We also worked on Melrose Place, Spy Game for ABC, Where the Truth Lies for Lifetime and most recently we co-starred together on the cable series The War Next Door and daytime drama The Young and the Restless. Except for the soaps these were shows he was attached to and so I more or less slept my way into the job. (She answers tongue in cheek).

WLM: How was it working with the cast of Seinfeld?
SW: What I remember most about the first episode I guest starred in (the famous “Mulva”) is that I had to press my nails into my palm to keep from laughing at Jerry during the main scene! The second episode I returned for was because I sat next to Jason Alexander on a plane to Vancouver and he suggested I come back on. I was busy filming The Big Easy in New Orleans and was so tired but I remember the cast was extremely welcoming and funny.

WLM: What are some of the big name actors you have worked with?
SW: The biggest name I have been on a film with has been Meryl Streep on Defending Your Life, although our characters did not work directly together. I did, however, work with and was directed by Albert Brooks on this film. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to the big Hollywood premiere because I was pregnant with my first daughter Grace and was on bed rest. I have also worked with Lloyd Bridges, Tom Selleck, Don Johnson, Judd Hirsch, Heather Locklear, Peter Strauss, the “Melrose” crowd, Leaf Phoenix (who is now Joaquin), Melissa Joan Hart, Marlee Matlin and, of course, my husband Linden Ashby. Okay I’m bored with myself.

After living in Hidden Hills for six years, Susan recently had a Feng Shui consultant come to her home. Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of living in harmony with one’s environment, has become increasingly popular in recent years. Susan began applying some of the principles of Feng Shui to their already tastefully decorated home. She does not tribute the implementation of Feng Shui to anything in particular but ironically landed her role on the television series two weeks after she purposely devoted a little more attention to the career area of the home. The new Feng Shui may have enhanced some of the “vibes” in the house but after reading her list of credits and number of years in the business it is apparent that her career did not need a lot of transforming. With Susan Walters sense of humor, down to earth disposition and flexibility, not to mention, striking blue eyes and eye-catching appearance it is no mystery why she has worked consistently in the entertainment business for over 23 years.
