From there, Long went to New York, where she took on the role of teenage vamp Kathryn "Kat" Speakes on the CBS daytime drama The Guiding Light, a part that gave her a chance to learn the ropes of the business. "Let's just say it wasn't the most creative work, but it was great for a newcomer," she explained to Cindy Pearlman in the Chicago Sun-Times. "I look at those years on 'Guiding Light' as my years in college. I mean, what did I know? I was this only child from Iowa. My world had no drama." Long stayed with the series for three years—until her character was shipped off to Europe—and earned an NAACP Image Award nomination for her performance in 1993.
