Born’s Family Releases Statement On His Death
Roscoe Born’s (ex-Mitch, ONE LIFE TO LIVE et al), daughter, Alberta Born-Weiss and his siblings, Lynne Born Myers and Flint Born, released an official statement regarding the actor’s passing to Digest: “It is with heavy hearts that we confirm the death of our father and brother Roscoe Born. The gleaming charisma and creativity that shone through his onscreen performances, fueled his robust songwriting repertoire, and charmed all those around him were matched by a darkness in his life. Roscoe has long struggled with bipolar disorder, a shadow that he succumbed to when he took his own life on Tuesday March 3, 2020. We are grateful for the outpouring of kind words and memories. We only wish that Roscoe could have seen how much people still carry his daytime villains in their hearts. May his death remind us of the importance of opening up conversations around mental illness. May those who need help seek it. May those who seek help receive it. And may it serve them.”
