LOS ANGELES - Darlene Conley, a veteran stage and television actress who entertained daytime audiences for nearly two decades as the feisty fashion mogul Sally Spectra on "The Bold and the Beautiful," has died. She was 72.

Conley died Sunday of stomach cancer at her Los Angeles home surrounded by family and friends, Eva Demirjian, a publicist for the CBS serial drama, said Monday.

She was diagnosed with cancer about three months ago, and the show's producers were deciding how to portray the fate of her character, Demirjian said.

"She constantly entertained us with every move, every breath, every inflection of her voice. Whether she was the villain, the damsel, the sexpot or the comedienne, Darlene was brilliant," said Bradley P. Bell, the show's executive producer.

Never saw any of her work, although she was in Hitchcook's The Birds. Appearantly the Mrs. is a big fan of hers.

72? Wow, she didn't look a day over 55. Haven't been keeping tabs on the soaps for several years, but I remember her. May she rest in peace.

I'm glad to see "older women" getting screen time on the soaps (and older men, also).

Rest in peace. My wife loves this show too. She was surprised by the news and age. Plus, 3 months of stomach cancer is quick to die. I guess God was looking out for her.
