Agnes Nixon Dead At 93
Agnes Nixon, legendary creator of ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE and a pioneering force in daytime drama since she began her career under the tutelage of GUIDING LIGHT Creator Irna Phillips, has died at 93, according to Philly.com. Her son-in-law confirmed the sad news to the paper, for which he used to write. In a statement, Robert A. Iger, chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company, said: “It is with a heavy heart I mourn the passing of television pioneer Agnes Nixon, someone I was proud to call a friend. Agnes’ impact on daytime television and pop culture is undeniable. She was the first to champion socially relevant topics, and the towns and characters Agnes brought to life leave an indelible imprint on television that will be remembered forever. On behalf of Walt Disney and ABC, I want to extend our deepest condolences to her family.”
