In Days of Our Lives, a dream sequence featured Arleen Sorkin’s character dressed in a court jester outfit. The image struck Dini and directly served as the inspiration for the character. He and Timm also loved Sorkin’s distinctive voice and knew it was perfect for Harley. But who could they get to voice the character to do their vision justice? Naturally, they got Arleen Sorkin herself! It was the actress’ very first voice acting role and is now her most famous part to date.
