Melissa Ordway shared a blast from the past. The Young and the Restless star revealed how she got her start in the entertainment industry.
Do You Remember?
Melissa posted something fun for Y&R fans. She shared a clip from when she went on the MTV reality series The Assistant starring comedian Andy Dick. She wound up winning the show. Melissa shared in her caption that she got a car and a job with MTV. The show kicked off her career in the entertainment industry.
“I think that I have what it takes to be a good assistant and make it in Hollywood. I think I’m responsible, and I’m dedicated, and I’m nice, and I’m funny,” Melissa said with a laugh in the throwback clip posted on Instagram.
Andy wasn’t sure what to think of her response. He had an interesting expression on his face. Melissa recalls that day when she “said something stupid.” But she got her big break in Hollywood with that answer.
Melissa laughed out loud at that post and took to the comment section to post, “😂.” Y&R fans shared their thoughts as well, saying that she still has what it takes to make it to this day.
“You had the look—like you still do!!! I hope you’re brought back soon, or I’ll have to find something else to watch!” one fan warned. Another fan mused, “Still beautiful after all these years. ”
“How is it that you’re still not on contract at Y&R? I’ll never get it smh,” a third user commented. Y&R co-star Lauralee Bell wrote, “You’re adorable🥰.”
Reduced Role
Melissa is experiencing a turning point in her acting career. She announced that she was no longer on contract with Y&R, but that doesn’t mean she’s leaving the show.
She teased that fans will revisit Abby Newman at some point. She chopped off her hair since she’s free to take on other roles. (Check out her new haircut here.) This throwback video shows she’s still got it. She hasn’t aged a day.
