Barbara Rush, known for her role as Nola Orsini in the popular ABC soap opera “All My Children,” died Sunday. She was 97.
Rush’s death was confirmed by her daughter, senior FOX News correspondent Claudia Cowan, who said that she “passed away peacefully” shortly after Cowan returned home from work.
“My wonderful mother passed away peacefully at 5:28 this evening. I was with her this morning and know she was waiting for me to return home safely to transition,” Cowan, 60, told Fox News in a statement.
“It’s fitting she chose to leave on Easter as it was one of her favorite holidays and now, of course, Easter will have a deeper significance for me and my family.”
Rush also appeared in “Ben Casey,” “Dr. Kildare,” “The Fugitive” and “Ironside,” and was known for playing Ruth Camden on “7th Heaven.”
