After her stint in the series ended in 1992, she started to look for new engagements, and in 1993 she featured in the film “Perry Mason: The Case of the Killer Kiss”.She didn`t have any major appearances for quite some time, but returned with the major role of Peyton Macgruder in the film “The Note” (2007), and four years later she was selected for the role of Geneieve Atkinson in the soap opera “Young And Restless”, appearing in the show until 2012, which also added a lot to her net worth.

For the same TV series she won the Young Artist Award in the category of Best Young Actress in Daytime TV Series, and Soap Opera Digest Award in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress – all helped her career and net worth.When it comes to speak about her personal life, Genie Francis has been married to actor and director Jonathan Frakes since 1988; the couple has two children.

Eugenie Ann Francis Quotes
- We hadn’t worked together in four years. Soon as we looked into each other’s eyes, it was right back there. So I’ve had a wonderful time. There’s nothing I like better than doing a love story, and there’s nothing better than doing a love story with Tony (Anthony Geary).
- It was great. We always work well together and we enjoy working together. Just the fact that we are together raises the bar in both of our minds. We both want to be on top of our game because we’ve got a lot to live up to. I know Tony feels that way and I feel that way. Fortunately for us, that chemistry was still there – which was a terrific relief to me! Apparently it’s still very much alive for both of us. We’re a good team.
- “Gloria [Monty] put sex and romance into Laura’s life and it bowled me over. Here I was doing things in front of 20 million people that I had never done in my own life. It certainly speeded up my growth process.” TV Guide August 26th 1980.
- That’s what it’s about for me now: my children and my husband, you know? That’s the dream. And I got it – Intimate Portrait: Genie Francis (2001), November 2001.
- I think my career would have gone further had I not reacquainted myself with Laura. But I’m sure there’s some reason why I needed to be here. This is like a huge family to me. It’s been a great place to be, lots of love and support in this building. I’m very grateful for that. SOD, May 2001
- “I can’t really say a permanent goodbye to General Hospital (1963), because it’s just too painful. I don’t really know. There would have to be some kind of clarity about equality. There would have to be some resolution for me.” TV Guide, September 2002.
