Soap actress Nancy Frangione, known for her intriguing roles on Another World and All My Children, has died. She was 70 years old.
Frangione, one of daytime TV’s most iconic villains, died Aug. 18 at her home in Massachusetts, an obituary has revealed – although the cause of death is not yet known.
Her passing comes after a stellar career that spanned decades, during which she played the frosty villainess Cécile DePoulignac in “Another World,” and the dastardly Tara Martin in the iconic ABC drama.
She was born on July 10, 1953, in the same sleepy colonial town where she died, historic Barnstable, just outside of Cape Cod.
Friends and fans are now flocking to the page that announced her passing to pay tribute to the accomplished actress.
