‘Dynasty’ & ‘The Paper Chase’ star dies at 98

Fans of classic television are in deep mourning. American social media has been flooded with sorrowful posts since early morning, while colleagues from the industry share memories and heartfelt tributes to a person who is impossible to replace.
But as thousands grieve, the name of the legend remained a mystery — at least for the first hours.

A close friend of the family was the first to announce the passing, noting that it happened quietly and peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Official sources confirmed that the person, whose face was familiar to millions and who shaped decades of television history, passed away at the age of 98.

In the comments under the initial obituaries, people wrote that they could already guess who it might be — after all, not many actors from old Hollywood belonged simultaneously to two iconic worlds: the sharp student dramas of the 1970s and one of the most famous families in American soap-opera history.
