Born Wilma Jeanne Cooper in Kern County, California, she was one of the longest-serving serial television actors in American media. Jeanne was best known for her role as Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless. Jeanne Cooper had a face lift on national television while playing the role of Katherine. I have enjoyed seeing Jeanne portray Katherine over these last few years and it will be strange not having her on the show.
Jeanne Cooper received ten Daytime Emmy nominations, nine for Outstanding Lead Actress and one for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and two Primetime Emmy nominations. She received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Daytime Emmys in 2004. For her contributions to television, Cooper received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She won the 2008 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Jeanne Cooper became ill from an infection shortly after promotion for the 40th anniversary of The Young and the Restless . She passed away on May 8, 2013, at the age of 84.
