Image:Seer1.jpg Deborah Morgan (born September 20, 1956 in Dunn, North Carolina) is an American television actress, most known for her role as Angie Baxter Hubbard on All My Children.
Morgan first became known in a recurring role as Diane Harris on What's Happening!! from 1976 to 1977. Her most famous role was on the soap All My Children, a role she originally played from 1982 to 1990. Her portrayal of Angie struck a chord with many black viewers across America; she and her love interest, Jesse Hubbard (Darnell Williams), became the first African-American "supercouple" on the daytime serials.
After leaving All My Children, Morgan played the role of Chantal Marshall on the NBC soap opera, Generations, replacing actress Sharon Brown and remained with the show until it ended. She then reprised her role as Angie on Loving and The City. From 1997 to 1998, she played Dr. Ellen Burgess on Port Charles. In the early 2000s, she played lead character Lora Gibson, opposite Lea Thompson, on the Lifetime series For the People.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Morgan became a de facto symbol for the possibilities for black women as all of her soap opera roles involved her playing a successful doctor.
In the late 90's she garnered much acclaim from movie critics for her portrayal of clairvoyant Mozelle Batiste Delacroix in director Kasi Lemmons' Eve's Bayou. For her portrayal, she won a Chicago Film Critics Association Award and an Independent Spirit Award and was nominated for an Image Award.
Morgan is the ex-wife of actor Charles S. Dutton.
