Jess Walton – Jill Abbott
Jess Walton’s career on television has spanned almost five decades; the actress has appeared in network dramas and action series like Dr. Marcus Welby and The Six Million Dollar Man since 1969. Walton came to The Young and the Restless in 1987, taking over the part of Jill Abbott from actress Brenda Dickson. Jill began her character arc as a manicurist before a savvy business plan and a lot of scheming made her one of the more powerful denizens of Genoa City. Since joining the cast of Y & R, Walton has kept a relatively low professional profile, appearing in a few short films; she is slated to star in 2018’s television movie Christmas With A View.
