Jill Larson (born October 7, 1947) is an American soap opera actress.
Jill Larson joined the cast of All My Children as the flamboyant Opal in 1989. Her performance earned her two Daytime Emmy Award nominations (1991 and 1993).
Larson grew up in Minnesota, with her three sisters, their engineer father and interior decorator mother.
She enrolled at the University of Minnesota, and began singing in nightclubs with a group called Just Us. It wasn't long before Just Us was discovered and headed to New York City, where they recorded several soundtracks, including the one for the film, Rachel, Rachel, starring Joanne Woodward.
She and her sister traveled throughout Europe in a bus, before she settled in Paris. She became a model, and was soon appearing in major American and European fashion spreads.
While in Paris, she also landed her first film role (as a Swedish au pair) in Deadly Trap, starring Faye Dunaway and Frank Langella. Her next film role was as Jeanne Moreau's rival for her character's younger lover in the film, Chere Louise.
In 1986, Larson made her daytime television debut as TV columnist Judith Clayton on As the World Turns. In 1988 she briefly played a character on One Life to Live before landing the role of Opal on All My Children.
