Liz was one of a kind and always fought hard for what she believed in and for the integrity of the characters she played. There aren’t many like her left. I feel so fortunate to have watched her as Lucinda.
 

From the first time I saw her onscreen, I knew there was something special there. She was a true artist. RIP.

I know it sounds morbid, but I think the next few years are going to be rough. Many of the long-time cast members of past and present soaps are up there in years. As the World Turns had a large number of older veteran actors right up until the end.

Totally. It’ll be a rough next few years with the passings of a lot of the remaining icons from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. It’s especially sad with soap stars because it feels like so much of that history dies with them. I see EH getting her flowers from a lot of people, and even that outpouring feels muted for someone of her stature.

I Was Broken Hearted!!!! What A Sad Way To Begin A Week and Right After A Holiday!

She Was Amazing and Had one of The most Profilic Actresses In The Medium!

GL, EON, TD, OLTL, ATWT, That Dutch Soap Opera and Anacostia!

She was such a force to be reckoned with. I can only imagine her runs on Guiding Light and The Edge of Night.  Having been lucky enough to see so much of her in THE DOCTORS thanks to RETRO TV, and her runs on ONE LIFE TO LIVE and AS THE WORLD TURNS, it just blew the wind out of my sails today. I promptly gathered notes I had been working on and updated her profile in SOAP HOPPERS to include her Broadway Career. 

Rest easy, DAAAHLING. You will be missed by so many, and my heart goes out to those in your life that lost you.  Thank you for all the joy you brought to so many!!!

 

(Her profile with photos, tv, movies and Broadway can be found in the SOAP HOPPERS THREAD   page 363.)

    • Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.
    • Dante needs stick removed from his butt
    • When you bring up what I like to call "Shapiro's Folly" you think Dano's acting choices mattered? I ask because I don't think so. As far as I could tell almost universally the ABC fans hated the very idea of her being on all 4 shows! And, I agreed. If she wanted success she should have planted "Rae" on one & given up her idea of branding, or whatever it was that she was after.  
    • Okay, well her reasons were that she had a mandate to reduce the size of the cast & she had another mandate to make the cast overall younger, so her reason for picking Donna to off was because she was too old.  So, is that what you understand? Or are you thinking of something else? Which if so, I would be delighted to hear about it!  She had arbitrarily picked 50 as the age people needed to be younger than.  And, that is why she got rid of both Bridget & Spencer Harrison.  And, getting rid of Bridget was another of her horrible ideas.  Why do you refer to her as the Face of the Show? Don't feel bad. I am a major Cass fan & I don't remember him with Donna either, LOL! Can we say forgettable? And, yes, Lila was the most last minute of last minutes!!!! 
    • This is AWESOME, thank you for taking the time to post this! My first thought: My memory is a lot better than I thought it was, LOL! The first episode I clearly remember watching had a scene of Ed confronting Holly about Christina's paternity. He lamented how wonderful things had been over Christmas, so looks like I started watching the show early 1976. The only thing puzzling me is where is Evie? I thought she was around BEFORE Rita got involved with Tim, but maybe that's one gap in my memory. It makes Rita look slightly better--in that case, she didn't seduce Tim knowing her sister had a crush on him.
    • Oh, well.  At least he can cry into his hoodie.
    • Sorry, just realized I'd somehow lost a whole paragraph in that last post.
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  They should have brought Billy back in the early '90s for more drama with Hart and Blake. Maybe Blake would have gotten involved with him to try to ruin him in Roger's eyes, but realize under his sweet nature, Billy was a player himself.
    • Checked. Taggert last date, Wed, 7-19-23, so a long dadgummed time ago.
