We knew her best-
As Katherine Chancellor, on the Young and the Restless.
.
But, before Jeanne Cooper, landed that role-
Many another acting parts did unfold.
.
She acted in a few movies, not to miss-
That also included Maureen O’Hara, Glen Ford, Henry
Fonda, and Tony Curtis.
.
And, plenty of television appearances, there were to be-
Including Perry Mason, The Big Valley, and her first Emmy
nomination for Ben Casey.
.
She received many awards thoughout the years-
As we followed her soap life, through the happiness and tears.
.
Of course, her battle with Jill Foster Abbott kept us tuning in-
From the beginning, throughout the years, from way back when.
.
In real life, to have a facelift and then to have it written in, to air-
Giving us a bit, of personal, to put it quite fair.
.
For a bit, in 2011, she let Michael Learned take over her role-
But, returned shortly, as was her ultimate goal.
.
In the acting field, she was good at her game-
And, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
.
We knew her best-
As Katherine Chancellor, on the Young and the Restless.
