Today, the Colonnade Room at The Young and the Restless is filled with bittersweet memories as the news of Meg Bennett's passing spreads among the cast and crew. The Emmywinning actress, best known for her role as Julia, Victor Newman's first wife on the iconic soap opera, succumbed to cancer on April 11 at the age of 75.

Bennett's journey in the entertainment industry began on the Broadway stage, where she showcased her talent as Pink Lady Marty Maraschino in the original production of Grease. Her foray into daytime television commenced in 1974 when she replaced Kathleen Beller as Liza Walton on Search for Tomorrow. However, it was her portrayal of the beleaguered Julia on The Young and the Restless that solidified her status as a daytime star. #YR #MegBennett #EricBraeden
