Jacklyn Zeman, who played Bobbie Spencer for 45 years on ABC's “General Hospital” has died at 70.
Zeman died after a short battle with cancer, her family confirmed Wednesday. News of her death was first announced by the show's executive producer, Frank Valentini.
Zeman first joined “General Hospital” in 1977 as Barbara Jean, who went by Bobbie, and was the feisty, younger sister of Anthony Geary's Luke Spencer. Zeman grew to regard Geary as family off camera. “I'm probably closer to him than I would be a real-life brother,” she told co-star Maurice Benard last year on his YouTube series “State of Mind.”
One of Zeman's most memorable scenes was in 1994 and Bobbie's daughter BJ is in a school bus accident that leaves her brain dead. Bobbie and then-husband Tony made the decision to donate their daughter's heart to her cousin, Maxie, who was battling Kawasaki disease. On 'One Life,” she played Lana McClain for a little more than one year and then left for “General Hospital.” “I didn't even audition,” she told a blogger in 2010. Zeman was nominated for four Daytime Emmy Awards for her work on the show.
