Members SoapDope Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 I saw on youtube that Marie Osmond posted her December 2012 interview with Jeanne. Marie was a big fan of hers and has been watching Y&R since the 70's. I know they probably won't, but it would be interesting if they interviewed former cast members like Julianna McCarthy, James Houghton, William Gray Espy, Jamie Lynn Bauer, Janice Lynde, Robert Colbert and Donnelly Rhodes etc......who were there in the early days with her. Jeanne has always been close to her cast. She said that when she started on Y&R, everyone all came out to greet her. She said William Gray Espy ran up and hugged her.They had met a year before on a movie. I also remember reading articles that said she would bring them food, take them on little field trips, throw parties etc..... In her book I crack up at the story about Brenda in the early days, where she asked her to pick up her fur coat and Brenda acted like she had asked her to wash and kiss her a**.........LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcren Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 From Corbin's Facebook Posting: The day continued to bring peace with only brief moments/flashes of sorrow. For the most part I've come to a quicker than expected belief that my mom, right until the end, worked her magic and made all things exactly as they should be. I played back the last couple weeks and whereas I thought maybe she wanted more time, I think I was wrong - that was me wanting more. There were so many "hints" of her "ready to go." But she would graciously play it out until we were all ready, and in our proper places on the "stage." The consummate director. This evening we gathered at her house for a meal. I was, admittedly frightened, not knowing if I would be ready to see this hub where the family had gathered for so many years, swimming in the pool, eating birthday dinners at her large table, or just laying next to her on the bed, talking about "stuff." But again, I was wrong. It was magnificent. I know I use that word quite a bit, but it was, it was extraordinary. Sure, had a quick cry when I went into her bedroom, smelled the sheets, the traces of her scent, but then it all suddenly lifted and there we were, together, her family, eating at the table once again, laughing. And she was most definitely with us, offering up her home as always, seated right alongside us at the table. My brother in law shared with me her final scene from Young and Restless, one I had heard about only yesterday. Her final bit of "acting," or as I'm coming to believe, "being." Mom never acted, she fully became the role. Like with so many things in her life, the lines we usually draw between where we stand on issues or the line between actor and character - they simply didn't exist for her. All things simply "are." Well, as many of you know by now, that was her final scene. In it I saw a woman, who some two months ago "knew" that this was to be her farewell scene. The end of a 40 year journey on the show and a sixty year journey as an actor. Her simple "goodnight" at the end - an improvised line - pretty much said it all. But the entire two minutes or so - if you study them carefully - is the stuff of legends. Each word, her mannerisms... all extraordinary now in the context of what was coming. I'm attaching it here, watch closely and you'll see a woman in complete control of her destiny - right up until the end. My mom. Wow! A mystery. A magnificence!http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...gyX2kc#t=1621s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 That's awesome and exactly what many of us thought. What a gracious and amazing woman and performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SeanM Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Daoes anyone know if Jeanne was to leave the show for a while after that last episode? How did she know that this was the last scene. It could only be if Kathrine has not been written for for the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 They wrote other material for Jeanne after that episode, but she wasn't well enough to come in and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yes the story was supposed ti finish playing out during sweeps just like during the 40th she was supposed to be the minister at Nictor's wedding but was too sick to tape.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 Wow only on DC could a thread about a statement released regarding JC's passing turn into a bash JFP thread http://daytimeconfidential.zap2it.com/2013/05/08/yr-showrunner-jill-farren-phelps-issues-statement-on-death-of-jeanne-cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I saw that. Serious eye roll material. I mean, JFP had known Jeanne for 5 minutes. How long of a statement were those people expecting? This thread almost turned into a JFP hate thread too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EastMA2 Posted May 13, 2013 Members Share Posted May 13, 2013 And if JFP had released a longer statement, she'd be bashed for that too. Looking forward to the tribute to Jeanne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
