Marlena from 'Days of Our Lives' Looks 'Divine' at 75 in New Pic & Is Mom of 2 Now after Years of Infertility

Deidre Hall, aka Dr. Marlena Evan from "Days of Our Lives," looks "divine" at 75 in a new photo.

The actress finally became a mom at 45 in a way that was considered non-traditional back in the day.

The actress' sons are all grown up now and look different from one another.

Deidre Hall is America's most beloved actress, best known for portraying the role of Dr. Marlena Evans in the soap opera "Days of Our Lives" (1965), after returning to the show in August 1991.

She was honored as the Best Television Role Model and bagged the America Women in Radio and Television (AWRT) in 1994.

In addition, Hall also garnered five Best Actress awards from Soap Opera Digest between the years (1982-85, 1995) and broke new ground for daytime television stars.

As an up-and-coming actor, the Hollywood star was mentored by veteran actress Frances Reid, her former co-star in "Days of Our Lives."

Reid began mentoring Hall when she was 29 years old, and the two women formed a friendship that lasted for 34 years until Reid's passing on February 3, 2010.

Hall has spoken highly of her beloved mentor's influence on her acting career and even attended a memorial in her honor.

Hall was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television for her stellar acting success at 6201 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California, on May 19, 2016.

She has also guest starred on TV shows including, "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1962), "20/20" (1978), and "Night of 100 Stars II" (1985), at the birth of her surrogate son.

As Hall continued to make waves during that period, Hallmark Co. chose her to become a celebrity spokesperson for a new card line titled "To Kids with Love."

A year later, Hall became the spokesperson for Dexatrim. She has also made some noticeable fashion statements and, as a result, was named "Best Dressed Woman" twice.

Her good looks have also gone unnoticed. She was named one of America's ten most beautiful women by Satellite Orbit and TV Guide.

Hall graced several magazine covers such as Los Angeles Magazine, People, TV Guide, Woman, Woman's World, Woman's Own, and Family Circle.

Hall is 75 years old and received praise for looking "divine" in a photo she shared on her Instagram account. She posted a selfie posing outdoors where a rainbow can be spotted in the background.

"Magic in the neighborhood!!" the award-winning star penned in her post. She donned a brown jacket paired with a red plaid sweater underneath and completed her look with sunglasses as she slightly smiled for the snap.

Hall took the picture beside the road, and her more than 100,000 Instagram followers flooded the comments section to compliment her.

"You Look Fabulous Deidre!" said one Instagram user alongside a heart emoji. One fan only wrote "Divine." A third also mentioned her looks while taking notice of the rainbow behind her. "Gorgeous! And the rainbow is pretty too!" the person wrote alongside a wink emoji.

Hall, who also appeared in "The Young & The Restless" in 1973, is a happy mom of two. But her journey to motherhood was not easy.

How Did Hall Become a Mom?

Hall has been married four times, and she tried to conceive within two of her marriages. Little did she know that it would take a whole lot to achieve that.

She underwent several rounds of artificial insemination, invitro-fertilization, and surgery, leaving her with physical and emotional side effects.

When she wed for the fourth time, she gave up on her ability to have a child. She and her third husband, Steve Sohmer, a writer, decided to try another way of having a baby.

The couple opted for a surrogate named Robin, who gave birth to their first child, a son they named David Sohmer, on August 23, 1992. Robin also helped Hall and Sohmer welcome their second child, Tully Sohmer, on January 19, 1992.

Seeing the television star could not produce viable eggs, Robin donated the egg and used Sohmer's sperm to conceive.

In 1995, Hall retold her infertility story in the made-for-TV movie "Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story" by playing herself. She said the "most frightening part" about the role was depicting David's birth.

While Robin was giving birth to David, Hall's dear friend was dying in the same hospital. Hall admitted, "those were very difficult, emotional moments" in the movie while admitting she expected the "worst."

The mother of two also anticipated issues in portraying the gruesome experiences she endured on her journey to motherhood. She revealed one scene that made it all overwhelming: she had to do an "in-vitro surgery," and said it was "a terrible, terrible moment."

When asked why she wanted to do a film about her infertility experience, Hall disclosed she "spent two years doing invitro" to fall pregnant until her doctor gave her a reality check, telling her:

"You are out of the baby business."

Asked how becoming a parent changed her, Hall explained that nothing mattered in that instant once she saw her child for the first time.

"In the moment that baby is placed in your arms, it doesn’t matter how they got there," she said. Hall added after the doctor gave her her first-born, she noted how protective she would be over him: "I remember saying, 'If anybody ever tries to hurt you, I will kill them.'"

How Do Hall's Kids Look Now & What Kind of Life Does She Have?

Hall's sons are now all grown up and have different physical features. The siblings accompanied their famous mom to her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2016, where the trio donned black coordinating outfits for the occasion.

When asked what it was like having her sons at the auspicious event, Hall shared that when David and Tully were little, she "kept them away from pictures." However, now that they are older and are independent adults, they have not "seen me in this element, and on a red carpet being photographed."

Hall explained her kids had witnessed such only in films with the paparazzi and that because she is their mother, seeing pictures of her taken while people yell out her name, she could not wait to get home with them to hear their opinions.

The "Our House" alum's eldest son David, turned 30 in August 2022. The proud mom marked the milestone on social media alongside a throwback photo of her and young David.

Hall penned that her child's arrival significantly changed their lives, adding that she and David's dad were always aware that he was special. But they were more "delighted" by his love for traveling and globetrotting.

The doting parent revealed David received his education overseas and enjoyed "working in production" and spending time with former schoolmates and getting home to watch a movie with them.

Hall shared in March 2019 that David was studying in Paris and would be graduating in May of that year, adding that his little brother Tully had taken "a break" and would be returning to "college."

Concerning her love life, Hall was asked whether she had any regrets about her previous marriages, and she said a pal of hers told her she was terrible at picking her men. But she begs to differ.

The "Zero Hour" star said her life experiences got her to where she is today, adding all that happened in the past contributed to her success. That said, she has "taken lessons" from her former spouses and "still" maintains good relationships with them. When asked whether she would marry again, Hall stated: "No, no interest."

The daytime TV star, who still stars in "Days of Our Lives," was first married to William Hudson from 1966 to 1970. She later wed Keith Barbour in 1972, but they divorced in 1978.

Hall walked down the aisle for the third time with Michael Dubelko in 1987 before parting ways in 1989. She and her fourth husband, Steve, tied the knot in 1991 and divorced in 2006.

In 2019, the blonde beauty said she was over the moon with her life. "It's the best time ever," she revealed. Hall explained everything had fallen into place, and her life was wholesome.

"My kids and my family are in good shape. I'm healthy. I do a job that I love. I have people, and a home that I adore, a garden that I like growing. It doesn't get any better, and I’m beyond grateful," she affirmed.
