She didn’t just restrict her acting to soap operas. Soap operas gave her a very stable income and job security. Since soap operas filled multiple episodes in single shooting sessions, she was able to work long hours and rest assured that a paycheck would be coming. As she started to gain respect in the acting industry, she was asked by other TV programs that were not in the soap opera field to act on their TV shows. She played Kitty Montgomery on the ABC sitcom called Dharma & Greg and she played the role of Martha Rodgers in the popular drama, Castle.

She was given many awards for her acting ability including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama series.

Personal Life
Susan Sullivan was dating Cary Grant when she was 23 years old but their relationship did not last. Afterwards, she started to date Connell Cowan. After a long relationship, they decided to get married. They were madly in love but even they didn’t know that their marriage would span several decades. The surprising thing about their union is that they never had children. Susan is not at an age where she can’t physically give birth to a child. The only way she would be able to have children is if they decided to adopt a child. Adopting a child does not seem to be in their future plans because they must have had a reason to not have a child in the first place. It is speculated that Susan was always too focused on her career and did not want to be a negligent mother. There is also speculation that medical problems may have prevented the loving couple from having children.

Throughout their marriage, there have never been any rumors about any divorce or extra marital affairs. The two have always been extremely faithful to each other and have supported each other in every aspect of their lives.

Being able to interact with her fans and keep them updated on her life while she is in between jobs has given her new life in her acting career.

Susan Sullivan has a net worth of over 10 million dollars that has been built by a long acting career on stage and on television. She has also made extra money aside from her acting salary, she gets income through endorsements and sponsorships.
