so sad to hear this  I remember she looked frail during her return for Victors 40th anniversary in 2020. My condolences to her and her family.

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!

RIP, I always liked what I saw of her as Julia and her screen presence. I also thought her writing work was underrated.

RIP Meg Bennett and thank you for contributions to daytime as both an actress and a writer.

RIP indeed, very sad to see this. Another daytime name gone 😢 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. 

Rest in Peace beautiful soul 

RIP

 

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.

Gasp! Oh no. She started her soap career in the 70s on Search

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Very sad news. Truly beautiful inside and out. Extremely talented in front of and behind the camera. RIP beautiful soul.

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).
