Members janea4old Posted April 21 Members Share Posted April 21 Wow. I knew her only as the actress playing Julia on Y&R. I had no idea she also wrote soaps, or that she was married to Guza! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted April 21 Members Share Posted April 21 (edited) RIP, I always liked what I saw of her as Julia and her screen presence. I also thought her writing work was underrated.

Members soapfan770 Posted April 21 Members Share Posted April 21 RIP indeed, very sad to see this. Another daytime name gone Please register in order to view this content Was she still married to Guza? I was happy to see to her work and later guest appearances as Julia. I never heard much of her writing work outside of Bell allowing Bennett to do so and still appear as Julia at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoldRestless Posted April 21 Members Share Posted April 21 RIP Please register in order to view this content I remember reading that she would ad lib and tweak her lines and she was so good that Bell hired her as a writer. That's a huge compliment since Bell was known to have hated actors changing even one word of his scripts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted April 21 Members Share Posted April 21 Gasp! Oh no. She started her soap career in the 70s on Search 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted April 21 Members Share Posted April 21 There was something in the water on the set of 70’s Search For Tomorrow - Millee Taggart, Courtney Simon, and Meg Bennett all went on to have notable writing careers on the soaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 22 Members Share Posted April 22 I always enjoyed the soaps she wrote for when she was part of their teams. That can't be a coincidence. That Bill Bell saw her potential speaks volumes about her skill. She was a lovely on screen presence. May her memory be a blessing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted April 22 Members Share Posted April 22 A great actress and really talented writer. GH with Guza, Karen Harris, and Meg driving story was one of my favorite periods ever on the show. As others have stated, anyone that doctors his scripts and won over Bill Bell was incredibly talented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 22 Members Share Posted April 22 Oh, this is very sad. It was always nice to see Julia pop up from time to time in recent years, even when the storyline wasn’t that great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TEdgeofNight Posted April 22 Members Share Posted April 22 Very sad news. Truly beautiful inside and out. Extremely talented in front of and behind the camera. RIP beautiful soul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 22 Members Share Posted April 22 Sorry to hear of her passing. All I've seen of Meg's work as Julia seemed to be another example of the more nuanced and multi-faceted level of performance that helped shift Y&R's female characters into a new era. I wish her Search work was available (beyond one short clip). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
