After watching a television show about climbing Mount Everest, Cindy Abbott had a dream: climb the highest mountain in the world. She did just that in May 2010. Here she takes a break on the summit of Mount Everest.
The role of Jack Abbott was first written into the series in June 1980, being portrayed by Terry Lester. In May 1985, it was announced that Lester would be leaving the role; he stated that it was because of a CBS film (Blade) he starred in which could have possibly became a series: I wanted to work something out.
