There was only one Nancy Hughes and only one Helen Wagner

Sadly the matriarch of the Hughes family passed away on May 1, 2010... Born on September 3, 1918 she began on the stage in the 1940's and appeared on such television shows as "The Guiding Light" and The Philco Television Playhouse" in the 1950's before she stepped into the role that would earn her a place in television history... On April 2, 1956 the daytime soap opera "As the World Turns" began with the actress playing Nancy Hughes who spoke the show's first lines "Good Morning, Dear." She is in the Guiness Book of World Records for longest time spent playing any one television character. Her final appearance as Nancy was in April 2010 for the 54th anniversary show... Another great soap matriarch has left us... In Memoriam Remembers: Helen Wagner
