GH Stars Pay Tribute To Beloved Colleague
Donna Messina, who was the head of GH’s hair and makeup department and beloved by cast and crew, passed away on December 6. “Sometimes you meet someone in life you just connect with and then unfortunately life just takes that person away,” Maurice Benard (Sonny) wrote on Instagram, calling Messina “my best friend my sister”. “I will never forget what you meant in my life.” Dominic Zamprogna (ex-Dante) tweeted, “Donna welcomed me and treated me like a long lost Italian family member from day 1. Always supportive always smiling. Heart. Broken. Rest easy beautiful Donna.” Wrote Jon Lindstrom (Ryan/Kevin), “Donna Messina preceded my arrival to ‘GH’, and I got there in ’92! I loved her, as we all did, for her support and kindness, her no-bullshit attitude and honesty. I miss her already. R.I.P.” Wally Kurth (Ned) added, “my
heart breaks. I had not heard this until now. I was at the studio on Wednesday and as always, wanted to know how she was doing. Now this. She was a fan of the show and a fan of the entire cast and crew. We were HER fans!
I will miss you Donna…”
