This happened a few weeks ago, but I only just saw this report on EW Online and was very saddened.

I grew up watching the soap opera Days of Our Lives and "Grandma Alice" was a constant center to the spinning dramas around her. She'd been on the show since its inception in 1965. I haven't watched the show in years but when I read this item, I got choked up. She was on that show for over forty years. It feels like not only the death of a lovely woman, but the end of an era.

RIP.
