This is truly difficult for me...ever since I saw the first tweet back on April 12th that she was not feeling well I was sure to keep an eye on Twitter every day. Seeing the tweet with the horrible news last night was a very powerful blow. Her incredible body of work will be her legacy to all her fans and of course she as a person, mother, grandmother and friend will be the legacy she will leave to all that knew her. She was born on October 25, 1928 - she appeared in a handful of films and quite a few television shows before she joined "The Young and the Restless" in late 1973. She had a regular role as Grace Douglas on the series "Bracken's World" from 1969 to 1970. She brought her Y&R character, Katherine, into two episodes of "The Bold and the Beautiful" in 2005. Below is an incomplete list of her television credits: "The Adventures of Kit Carson" "Mr. District Attorney" "The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse"
