Elizabeth Hubbard (born December 22, 1933) is an American film, soap opera, stage and television actress, best known for her role as Dr. Althea Davis on The Doctors (1964-69, 1970-78, 1981-82) and powerful businesswoman Lucinda Walsh on As the World Turns (1984-2010). She also played roles on The Edge of Night, One Life to Live, and Guiding Light.
Hubbard was born in New York City, New York. She attended Radcliffe College, and graduated summa cum laude. She pursued her theatrical education at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where she was the first American to receive the school's silver medal. She was married to furrier David Bennett from 1970 to 1972; they had one child, a son, Jeremy Bennett (born September 20, 1971).
She is best known for her work in daytime soap operas. She began that career in 1962, starring as Anne Fletcher on Guiding Light. The following year, she joined the cast of The Edge of Night as Carol Kramer for another short stint.
In 1964, she originated the role of Dr. Althea Davis on NBC's year-old soap opera The Doctors. Hubbard played the role until 1969, when she took time off. She returned after a year and continued the role until 1978. She returned again in 1981 and remained with the show until its cancellation in 1982. In 1974, Hubbard was awarded the first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Hubbard's pairing with the character of Dr. Nick Bellini (Gerald Gordon) made them one of the most popular romantic couples on the soaps, dominating the show's storyline during the later half of the 1960s and for most of the 1970s.
