‘The Young and the Restless’ to air tribute to its late leading lady, Jeanne Cooper, on May 28
NEW YORK, N.Y. – CBS says “The Young and the Restless” will broadcast a tribute to Jeanne Cooper, the veteran star of the daytime drama who died earlier this week. It is scheduled to air May 28.
The network says cast members, friends and family of the actress will gather next week to tape a celebration of her life. Interviews with Cooper from the show’s recent 40th anniversary and clips of her years on the show will also be included.
Cooper, who died Wednesday at 84, played grande dame Katherine Chancellor. She joined the soap six months after its March 1973 debut, staking claim to the title of its longest-tenured cast member.
The role earned her 11 Daytime Emmy nominations and a trophy for best actress in a drama series in 2008.
