In Memoriam


Daytime veteran Robert Milli passed away on July 18 in


New Jersey following a battle with cancer. The actor’s


many soap roles included being a part of the original cast


of CBS’ LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING and a nine-


year run as GUIDING LIGHT’s Adam Thorpe, the stand-up


father of Springfi eld villain Roger. Originally playing the


part from 1972-’81, he briefly reprised the role several


times, the last being in 1994. In addition to his work in


soaps, the 86-year-old actor was a veteran of the US Navy


and Broadway, and was the voice behind radio and tele-


vision campaigns for Porsche, Revlon and many others.


Milli was predeceased by his wife, Mary Jane, and is sur-


vived by children Brian and Liza, and four grandsons.


That same day, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ David


Hedison — who played Arthur Hendricks, the judge


with whom Katherine had a long-ago aff air that re-


sulted in the birth of Tucker McCall — died in Los An-


geles at the age of 92. In addition to his Y&R role, the


actor played ANOTHER WORLD’s Spencer Harrison


and DYNASTY’s Sam Daxton. Hedison is survived by


two daughters, Alexandra and Serena.

to find out what will be


coming up next in this


stor yline. “I’m curious to


see how they have Hope


deal with all this,” she


says. “Once her grief is


over and the sadness is


gone, what’s left?”
