How sad.  I remember when Nick Benedict took over the role of Phil Brent.  Richard Hatch had left the role, his character being declared missing, resumed dead in Vietnam.  At first, Nick playing Phil was sort of shocking, the physical difference between him and Richard Hatch being so obvious, but he made that part his own.

Long ago days now.  I'm sorry to hear of his death.

I loved her as Tara.  I remember she was the Tara the Show brought back for Grandma Kate Martin's funeral in 1985.

Billy Miller, Richie Novak, has died at only 43! Ironically, apparently today, 09/17, would have been his 44th birthday. This is shocking. May he RIP.

Yet another AMC loss - Peter White, who played lawyer Lincoln Tyler (son of society maven Phoebe and Dr. Charles Tyler) has passed away at age 86.

I loved Peter White, and I LOVED Kitty and Linc, and later, Kelly and Linc.  He was the perfect man to play son to Phoebe and Charles - the best of all who had been in the role previously - and his romance with Kitty/Kelly was such a touching and adult relationship.  Perfect pairing with those two actors.

Also, he seemed like a good man, all around.

ETA - He was also excellent in the first filmed version of Boys in the Band.

AMC loses another alum - Alec Musser, who took over the role of Del Henry from Windsor Harmon in 2005, has passed away at age 50. He landed his AMC contract by winning the reality show I Wanna Be A Soap Star. After leaving the show in 2007, Musser acted in a few other projects including an episode of Desperate Housewives, and went on to become a popular fitness model. No cause of death is noted in the TVLine article.

AMC alum Barbara Rush has died at 97. As some of you may recall, she played Nola Orsini in the 1990s, who thought amnesiac Tad Martin was her long lost son

Thanks for posting this.  I loved Barbara Rush in all her films and remember how thrilled I was when she appeared on All My Children.

She had such presence.
