Members SFK Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 Jay O. Sanders posted a very nice tribute to his colleague, Matthew, on FB. In the spring of '01, my college girlfriend and I went into the city for dinner one evening. I forget which UES avenue we were strolling along, but at one point, we passed Christine who was walking north. My girlfriend teased me for noticing her loud enough for her to hear, but what stood out was that she was crying. Her lips were closed in sort of a half smile, and her eyes were wide and teary. The way the streetlight hit her face, I'll never forget that snapshot. I don't know if she was going through something, if she'd just been moved by a piece of theatre, if she had allergies, but one of those uniquely New York moments.

Members quartermainefan Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 RIP. He was very talented and the way he made such an unrealistic character so watchable speaks to his talent. Billy Clyde has to be in the top ten most memorable AMC characters of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 I remember when some of the cast appeared on Oprah for the 25th anniversary celebration. A gentleman in the audience stood and shared one of his favorite memories which always stuck with me. He said Billy Clyde and Estelle were in their slummy apartment, and Billy was cooking on a burner atop the toilet. Estelle called for him and he replied, "I'm stirrin' the soup!" It's going to be bittersweet when I finally watch 2.0 this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted May 26, 2014 Members Share Posted May 26, 2014 Such sad news. AMC was never my thing, but there were a few characters that had me switching to ABC during Days of Our Lives commercial breaks. Billy Clyde Tuggle was one of them. No surprise, then, that I found Matthew Cowles one of the most enjoyable elements of AMC 2.0 for me. It's not easy to portray both great menace and great humor in the same role – he did it with great aplomb. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted May 26, 2014 Members Share Posted May 26, 2014 Absolutely terrible. What a fantastic actor. Billy Clyde was easily one of daytime's greatest characters, and MC portrayed him so well. RIP! My thoughts as prayer to Christine and their children...I can't even imagine.

Members applcin Posted May 28, 2014 Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 You know, I saw a link "All My Children actor dies" and I was expecting it to be about (86-year old) Ray McDonnell. Wasn't expecting this. It was nice to see Billy Clyde one last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
