Jacklyn Zeman, ‘General Hospital’ actress for 45 years, dies

- Jacklyn Zeman, who became one of the most recognizable actors on daytime television during 45 years of playing Bobbie Spencer on ABC’s “General Hospital,” has died. She was 70.

ABC Entertainment and “General Hospital” also released a statement stating, “Jacklyn Zeman has been a beloved member of the General Hospital and ABC family since she originated the iconic role of Bobbie Spencer over 45 years ago. She leaves behind a lasting legacy for her Emmy-nominated portrayal of the bad girl turned heroine and will always be remembered for her kind heart and radiant spirit.

“Bobbie has been a fascinating person for me to play,” she said in an interview in 1982. “I get to do ... all the things that most women think about but wouldn’t dare.” Born March 6, 1953, in Englewood, New Jersey, Zeman discovered a love for dance as a child, and as a teen began acting in school productions.
