Soap star's secret passion is fashion Most people know her as the devastating Anna Devane from "All My Children" or "General Hospital" but Finola Hughes treasures another secret passion. She's nuts about fashion.
     She's so ga-ga over la mode that she's hosting the Style Network's new "How Do I Look?" another makeover show with a twist. This time the bad dresser is coerced by her family and friends to get a fashion grip - all with the help of a stylist and the British Hughes. The subject must part with her grungy sweat-pants and faded T-shirts, but earns a whole new wardrobe in return.
     "I think of myself as somebody who has grown up in this business and who adores the business of entertainment, and I'm very interested in... all aspects of it because to me the sheer showmanship of fashion design and the fashion world I find mesmerizing and intriguing," says Hughes.
     "It was really that that drove me to try to do something in it. I had no idea what it would be, but I was just so interested in it because there are some amazing geniuses out there who are designing clothes. I feel people should embrace that a little more in their everyday life because there's a great amount of joy in expressing yourself artistically in just what you wear."
     Hughes first came to the states when she co-starred with John Travolta in "Staying Alive." "They put out a casting call they wanted an English bitch and they came to me," she laughs. "They flew me out for an audition I asked the driver, 'Do people fly out often and audition?' He said, 'Yeah.' I thought I could just as easily get sent home on the next plane. I really wanted to come to America because my mom had always talked about America, and I wanted to work with American dancers because they were really driven."
     Actually Hughes, 43, had been dancing since she was 3 and was obsessed with pliers and port de bras herself. But she was also taken with acting and realized she couldn't do justice to both disciplines. Acting won out. She appeared in such films as "Soap Dish," "Aspen Extreme," Above Suspicion," TV's "Pacific Palisades and "Dream On."
     After she left "All My Children" she and her artist-husband, Russell Young, returned to California. Still operating out of packing boxes, Hughes has no trouble looking like she stepped out of the pages of Elle.
     But her house is a different matter. "Anything domestic just chills me to the bone," she shudders. "I hate all cleaning, tidying, making beds. It intimidates me. . . I find the whole thing a hindrance. I want to do something else. I know it stems from my mother who would say, 'Why don't we go see a ballet, we'll do this when we come back.' I do try to organize my life," she sighs.
     Her husband is just the opposite. Orderly and organized, he once nailed the drawer to her toiletries open to see how long it would take her to decide to close it. It took 10 days.
     But when it comes to peplums and gussets and bias-cut skirts, she's an expert. Hughes will host New York's runway shows in February and she'll be monitoring the fashion faux pas on the Red Carpet at the Golden Globes for the network. (By Luaine Lee for KnoxNews.com, 1/21/04)
