Millee Taggart is an American actress, best known for her long-running role as Janet Bergman Collins on Search for Tomorrow. She portrayed the character from 1971 to 1982.
She is also known for writing both comedic and dramatic series, which first started when the executives at Search for Tomorrow hired her as a writer in 1980, while she was still playing the role of Janet. From there, she wrote sitcoms such as The New Odd Couple and Joanie Loves Chachi. She was a co-creator and co-executive producer of The Thornes, which starred Tony Roberts who had played her husband Lee Pollock in the 1960s on the soap opera The Edge of Night (which she herself played Gerry McGrath Pollock). She briefly wrote for Santa Barbara in 1984. She then joined As the World Turns from 1984-1985. She served as head writer of Ryan's Hope from 1985-1987. She later served on the All My Children writing team from 1996-1997. Her most famous writing achievements have been a three year stint on Loving (1988-1991) and a recent stint for Guiding Light (2002-2003). Taggart was also one of the executive producers of the reality TV series, Starting Over. She is also sometimes credited as Millee Taggart-Radcliffe.
