Before she started in show business, she won the title of Miss Alabama 1974. From there she went to New York City and played Ashley Linden on Texas from 1981 to 1982. It was after the show ended that Long, who had already proven herself capable of writing a soap by penning scripts for Texas, moved to Guiding Light with former Texas executive producer Gail Kobe.

Both of her stints were well-regarded and provided a renaissance for the aging show, at one point pushing the show's ratings to the #1 spot for three weeks in the summer of 1984. Long created some of GL's most memorable characters, like vixen Reva Shayne, haughty ice queen Alexandra Spaulding, and rough-around-the-edges ingenue Harley Davidson Cooper.

When she left Guiding Light for the second time, she went on to write Santa Barbara and One Life to Live.
