Broadway veteran and “One Life to Live” soap opera star Jennifer Harmon has died. She was 82.
The Daytime Emmy Award nominee died Saturday in New York City, her obituary says. No cause of death was given.
Harmon appeared on Broadway more than 20 times in shows authored by playwrights including Wendy Wasserstein, Lillian Hellman, Neil Simon, Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee.
Afternoon television viewers knew her as Cathy Craig Lord on ABC’s “One Life to Live.” She played that antagonistic character in 113 episodes between 1976 and 1978, according to IMDb. Harmon’s performance in that role made her an award candidate in 1978.
Prior to landing that job she starred in more than 330 episodes of NBC’s “How to Survive a Marriage.” That soap opera is credited with helping launch the careers of F. Murray Abraham and Armand Assante.
She also appeared on hit shows including “Dallas,” “St. Elsewhere,” “Another World” and “The Good Wife.”
