Before she made a daytime name for herself as flamboyant fashion maven Sally Spectra, the queen of knock-off designer clothing, Darlene Conley wowed "The Young and the Restless" audiences when she briefly played Rose DeVille. The character was a woman who ran a teenage prostitution ring (via Soaps.com). CBS remembered her when it came time to create the role of Sally Spectra on "The Bold and the Beautiful," and a new fashion house was born on the young soap.
Sally always had a cast of characters with her at Spectra Fashions, including her singer daughter Macy Alexander (Bobbie Eakes), named after the 2 famed New York City department stores. She also had her trusted receptionist, Darla Einstein (Schae Harrison), and her loyal assistant, Saul Feinberg (Michael Fox). Through the years, Sally clashed with the Forrester family, always in competition with Forrester Creations, despite Spectra Fashions being known for its knock-offs.
This brought Sally into Stephanie Forrester's orbit much of the time, and the 2 women became rivals. However, they had to get along for their children's sake, as Macy and Stephanie's son, Thorne, fell in love and married several times over (via Soaps In Depth).
