Losing this amazing artist is a heartbreak.” Stephen Nichols (Steve) posted an old clip with the actress, penning, I have fond memories of Arleen on the #Days set, as she presented her wild costumes and hysterical, over the top humor as Calliope. But more than that, I remember witnessing her loving care of the fans she met as we travelled to South Carolina and other cities around the country. She delighted everyone with her humor, but especially with her kindness. Arleen was … a joy to be around. She has left a tremendous impact on this world …and on those of us fortunate enough to have known her. Rest easy, Arleen. Sending love to Arleen’s children and all who loved her.” Wally Kurth (Justin, DAYS; Ned, GH) shared, “I adored Arleen. I’m so sad to hear of her passing. She was always someone who made me smile and wish I saw her more often. RIP!
