Meg Bennett, Famed Soap Opera Actress of “The Young and the Restless,’ Dies at 75

The soap opera star Meg Bennett, who made her mark equally as much as a writer as she did playing Julia Martin on CBS’ The Young and the Restless, died from cancer this month at 75, her family revealed in an obituary.

Bennett, a southern California native, got her start in acting in 1975 on the Search For Tomorrow, which catapulted her into a decades-long career as one of the biggest names in daytime TV.

Her next role came on The Young and the Restless, where she made appearances in four different decades on the long-running show, and was also the show’s head writer for a period in the 1980s.
