“Mom passed this morning. She was in peace and without fear. U all have been incredible in your love. In her name share it 2 day with others,” Bernsen wrote.

Cooper played “Y&R’s” wealthy matriarch Katherine Chancellor for a remarkable 40 years, first joining the CBS daytime drama in 1973. She earned nine Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Leading Actress for the role, which gave her four husbands, several bouts with alcoholism, a secret child, an on-screen facelift and a look-alike doppelganger named Marge!
