Subject: 'World' Stops Turning For Helen 'Nancy Hughes' Wagner

Written By: Henk on 05/03/10 at 1:37 pm

Legendary "As the World Turns" actress Helen Wagner has died. She played mild-mannered Nancy Hughes on the CBS soap opera for more than a half-century. She was 91.

New York-based production company TeleNext Media Inc. says Wagner died Saturday.

Wagner spoke the first words on "As the World Turns" when the show premiered on April 2, 1956, and held the Guinness World Record for playing the same role on television for the longest amount of time.

Wagner was born in Lubbock, Texas. The production company hasn't said where she died or what was the cause of her death.

As far as I can tell, Helen Wagner made her final appearance in ATWT on April 5, 2010. That's 54 years on.

RIP Nancy/ Helen. :\'(

Are they going to write her out of the show, or hire a new actress? ???

Well, the series will end in September, so I don't think there's need for a replacement. And besides, she only made very few appearances over the past decade or so.
