Michael Zaslow

It seems there is no well-documented author by the name Michael Zaslow in literary circles (fiction or non-fiction) matching your query. The name Michael Zaslow is best known as an American actor (Michael Joel Zaslow, 1942–1998) who starred in soap operas.

However, there is a listing on Goodreads for a Michael Zaslow credited in relation to Adam’s Fall (as narrator, or perhaps associated with a version) — but this appears to be a recording credit rather than a primary author identity. Also Penguin Random House lists Michael Zaslow among contributors or authors, possibly in a reissue or anthology context .

Given this ambiguity, here’s what I can offer:

Michael Zaslow — Known Biography (Actor & Occasional Writer)

Early Life & Acting Career
Michael Joel Zaslow was born November 1, 1942, in Inglewood, California. He became best known as a soap-opera actor, especially for his portrayal of the villain Roger Thorpe on Guiding Light (1971–1980, 1989–1997) . He also appeared on One Life to Live, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, and made guest appearances on shows like Star Trek, among others.

Health, Later Years & Death
In 1997, Zaslow began experiencing speech difficulties, which led to his diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). He passed away December 6, 1998, of a heart attack in New York City. His second wife, Susan Hufford, wrote a memoir Not That Man Anymore about his struggle with the disease (he had started writing it before his death) .

Writing / Literary Appearances

• On Goodreads, Michael Zaslow appears as narrator or contributor to Adam’s Fall.

• Penguin Random House lists him among authors/contributors (possibly in reprints or audio versions).

• Given his main profession was acting, and his known writing (the memoir) was posthumous or undertaken late, his literary output is limited and secondary to his acting legacy.

Possible Interpretations & Recommendations

• If you meant Jeffrey Zaslow (a well-known American author and journalist), that is a different individual. Jeffrey Zaslow (1958–2012) was a bestselling non-fiction writer, coauthoring The Last Lecture, Highest Duty, and more.

• If your intended Michael Zaslow is a different or contemporary author (not the actor), please check spelling or context (e.g. middle initial, genre). I can then dig up better info.
