May 24, 20223 yr Member Oh man, if only this could be untrue. Another blow to Guiding Light fans. R.I.P. Ms. Lawson. Procter and Gamble soaps have suffered some huge losses of their talented alumni lately, without any significant way to truly eulogize them publicly.
May 24, 20223 yr Member Wow, this has been a tough time for GL fans. I didn't know she was on Love of Life, and seemed to be somewhat of a prominent character.
May 25, 20223 yr Member I see that one of Lee's grandchildren is named Sterling. I wonder if this was an intentional nod to her Love of Life character Barbara Sterling or just a nice coincidence? Marion Hailey Moss was a fellow actor in the 60's and appeared on SFT as Janet Bergman at one point. Edited May 25, 20223 yr by Paul Raven
May 26, 20223 yr Member Loved her as Bea...can't believe Long got rid of her..twice.. with Charita gone the show needed a matriarch and they could have brought in endless Reardon kids and grandkids..and with the boardinghouse constant rotation of new young trouble makers. I can't believe as Bea she was younger then I am now!
