Bold and the Beautiful star Darlene Conley died of stomach cancer on Sunday in Los Angeles.
She has starred on the show as Sally Spectra for 20 years, and was diagnosed with cancer only three months ago. Producers and writers were actually developing a storyline for her to deal with the diagnosis.
Besides The Bold and the Beautiful and three other soaps (Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless, and General Hospital), Conley guest-starred on several other TV shows, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Murder, She Wrote, Highway To Heaven, The Jeffersons, Little House on the Prairie, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Gunsmoke, Cagney and Lacey, and Ironside. She also did the voice of Mrs. Claus in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July.

I am so glad that Darlene made it to the last Luncheon the B&B had. I had my picture taken with her because she has been one of my favorite entertainers since I can't remember when. She was not feeling so great, but was so gracious to everyone. Especially me bugging her for a picture. I will miss her so much. I will never forget her.

Just watched Friday's episode and was shocked to find out Darlene had passed away. I knew she was sick but I didn't know how serious it was. She'll be greatly missed. What a wonderful, fun actress she was. I hope they give her the farewell she deserves on the show. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. R.I.P Darlene.

Darlene played a very exciting rolled as Sally in The Bold and The Beautiful, I really did enjoyed her and Massimo. She was really something else in The Young and The Restless as Rose DaVille. May God Bless Her as She Rest In Peace.

Darlene dear rest in peace and may GOD be your shepper and may he bring you into his light because you was a good person and because trhough Sally you inspire more people that i can tell watching always make me laugh even when i was sad. I' m from Africa [Cameroon] and when i've learn on the 26 after the show that Sally is gone i've called my sister from Cameroon she was so shocked by the news. Darlene was a part of our life just like the other cast of BB we grow up watching her.My condolences to the family and all the cast members.
