LOS ANGELES (AP) – Agnes Nixon, the creative force behind the edgy and enduring TV soap operas “One Life to Live” and “All My Children,” has died. She was 93.
Nixon died Wednesday at a Haverford, Pennsylvania, physical rehabilitation facility close to her Rosemont home, said her son, Bob Nixon. She had checked in to gain strength for a planned book tour, he said.
She had just completed her memoir, “My Life to Live,” on Sunday, a week before it was due to publisher Penguin Random House for publication in early 2017, her son said.
“She was really a great wife, mother and human being – but above all, a writer. She was writing up until last night,” he said, and had called him with a few changes for the book.
The cause of death was not immediately known, he said.
