The Old and the Lifeless

Jeanne Cooper, a fixture of housewives’ stories for 5 decades, has died at the age of 84. At the time of her death, she was the 8th longest serving soap opera actor of all time, as Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless for 40 years, winning 1 Emmy in 9 chances. In typical soap opera fashion, she did double duty in spot appearances on the same show as Marge Cotrooke, and wacky antics ensued. When such things were novel, Katherine broke ground with several bouts with alcoholism, to go along with an ischemic stroke, four dead husbands, and a child given away for adoption, and a facelift on national television. Her off-screen life was filled with similar hardship, as she gave birth to Corbin Bernsen.
