You just know she and Big Lou are having a lot of fun 'up there', and both being Southerners, they're probably having mint juleps!
My sympathies to her husband Dick Cavett.

And I'm sure Grayson's there too, raucusly (sp?) laughing it up w/the both of them.  She was briefly on Guiding Light in the late 80's.  She played Carrie Piper, an evil real estate broker who planted a bomb in a house accidentally sold by another agent in her firm when she couldn't get the buyers to move out.  Good stuff!

Carrie played Susan Piper on GL in the 80s. . I remember her death in quicksand in the Carribean.  She returned to Guiding Light a little over a year ago and played a new character, Carrie Caruthers .. .i didn't see her (I don't watch daytime anymore it really depresses me now) but she was another fiendishly evil woman ..

Ms Nye & Big Lou were quite close~~they had done a number of shows together.
Nye & husband Dick Cavett were regular visitors to The Rookery, Louis' country home.

I met Ms Nye at Louis' funeral. She lookd like Bette Davis in All About Eve, and smoked as much!
A very theatrical, unforgettable woman.

You are correct, it WAS Susan, my bad!    Yeah, her quicksand death!  I'd forgotten about that, LOL!  I too don't watch daytime anymore either, not because it depresses me, but because it insults my intelligence, LOL!    But, I *was* pissed her character killed the character of Hilary Bauer, that character was the *humor* of GL!
