So sad She was so great as Drucilla's ballet teacher, this is heartbreaking what happen to her.

Awful. I had no idea. She was wonderful on Y&R.

 

Have any of her costars said anything?

That's beyond sad

I really liked her on GH and she had a great role.   People need to be really careful who they sign power of attorney over to.  Even blood relatives you have to be wary of.   How sad. 

No human being should be treated this way. I could barely stomach reading that post. I'm not sure why these assisted living facilities don't have to undergo more random and unscheduled inspections.  When the neighborhood greasy spoon has to undergo more inspections than an institution that literally has people's lives in their hands, it's very sad.

Cordell was once married to Nichlolas Pryor,who appeared on many soaps.

I have several scenes of her recurring role as Dru's ballet teacher, but only a couple of her as Dorothy Stevens.Always a very unique actress.
