All My Children
All My Children’s Candace Earley Nolan Passes Away At 68
She played Pine Valley’s Donna Beck for 18 years, and over the weekend the soap world also lost Candace Early Nolan. The former daytime actress died last Thursday, January 31, 2019, after an 8-year struggle with Multiple Systems Atrophy.
Earley was on ABC’s All My Children from 1976 to 1992 and returned in both 1993 and 1995. In story, Donna started out in Pine Valley as a prostitute. She had romances with Dr. Chuck Tyler and then at one time, Palmer Cortlandt. Candace also appeared on Broadway in Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease, and South Pacific, to name a few.
In her obit it mentions that while eating lunch at world-famous Sardi’s in New York, a Casting Director of ABC daytime television asked, “Who is that attractive mid-western looking type across the room?”. Shortly thereafter she was cast as “Donna” on AMC.
Check out this clip of Earley with Richard Van Vleet as Chuck Tyler in a scene from her time on AMC below.
Then, share your condolences and remembrances of Candace via the comment section below.
I’d like to think she’s up there reminiscing with Ruth Warrick and James Mitchell.
We lost Candace Early from AMC…Carmen Duncan from AW…Kristopher St John from Y&R…and movie actress and soap star Julie Adams From Capitol all in the same week…what a horrible, sad and tragic week for us in the soap world…i first seen Julie in The 50s classic The Creature From The Black Lagoon!!!!
I was just about to mention Julie Adams, too, Jimh! She was fabulous on “Capitol” as the looney tunes, faux-agoraphobic Paula Denning! That character was almost gothic in the way she was sequestered in her darkened rooms with only her beloved harpsichord as a constant companion! I still remember laughing myself silly when she plowed down her psychiatrist in the parking deck in order to keep him from blowing the whistle to her senator husband Mark, regarding her fake condition…which would have allowed him to divorce her without guilt in order to marry his true love, Clarissa, aka Constance Towers (aka, Helena Cassadine!!!!) Such fun that show was! Ditto for AMC’s many tales of Pine Valley’s favorite hooker with a heart of gold, Donna Beck, whose mere presence drove Phoebe Tyler to the vapors….especially when her “bossman,” the incomparable Billy Clyde Tuggle, was involved! Oh, those were the politically incorrect days when just about anything and anyone was fair game in our fictional soap burgs! As for AW’s Carmen Duncan, she was a truly lovely Iris…classy with a real international flair! I grew up watching all three of these ladies, and although each one was vastly different in their respective roles, they all left indelible, unique impressions for their daytime audiences. So sad to see them leave us, but their memories will live on for all of those who had the privilege of enjoying their talents on a daily basis during some of soap operas’ best years.
I never watched Capitol but seen clips and wish i had…did watch AMC and Aw…Carmen grew on me as i first thought she was a miscast after watching Bev Mckinsey who was so irreplaceble in the role,,,but i did grow to love her as Iris-she was a beautiful classy lady…AMc had the most colorful characters in the 80s-i consider that its best decade and wiish those eps were on again!!!!
@Jimh…I consider the ‘80’s the best decade for soaps, period!!! It was a veritable banquet of both daytime and primetime dramas and there was no shortage of incredible women who occupied some of the best roles ever written for female soap characters, including the aforementioned ones. Capitol was a perfect product of the glamorous Reagan-era DC, yet it also managed to be offbeat and quite mysterious at times…I really enjoyed that stylistic blend and was livid when it was abruptly cancelled. (So did Sloane survive the firing squad???) In fact, I was so miffed I swore I wouldn’t watch its replacement “B&B!” Of course, my reticence immediately faded when I caught a glimpse of the Forrester brothers duo of Ridge and Thorne! Lol…As for Carmen Duncan, I had no issues with her as the Iris recast because I was not a McKinsey fan, per se, and, as such, readily accepted the actress and her exotic Aussie background….I particularly loved the elan and je ne sais quoi international stars brought to soaps, and to this day, I wish we still had the array of foreign characters that we did way back then….especially on GH! Port Charles always drew the best stars from around the globe!
Beverlee McKinsey is the only Iris I ever knew.
Oh How sad!!! I loved Donna Beck! I will never forget how Phoebe Tyler sputtered out,”That Donna BECK person!” Chuck looks a little bit like Harrison Ford.
Rest in Peace, Candace. You brought such a loving, vulnerable energy to “Donna” that endeared you to do many AMC fans.
First Iris (2.0), then Neil and now Donna Beck. Let’s hope deaths do come in threes, so that we don’t grieve another soap vet.
We did lose a 4th…Julie Adams ex Capitol!!!!
I didn’t watch All My Children that often; however, I remember Candace’s character of Donna. Her family and friends have my prayers.
I am stunned. I remember her well. Such a lovely woman. She did such a wonderful job as Donna. I loved the story of Donna and Chuck. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
Thank you Candice Earley for sharing your remarkable talent with all of us. May you rest in peace.
I was so sorry to hear of Candice’s passing and from such a horrible disease. I loved her in All My Children. I also saw her on Broadway in Grease shortly after she started on AMC. I loved her in that, too. I got her autograph after the show. I think I still have the playbill. My deepest sympathy to her family. My heart goes out to you.
I remember her…another familiar face gone that will live on in the archives of soap history. Sad news. Condolences to her family.
Rest in peace, beautiful Candace. You brought so much spunk, and grace to the role of Donna. My deepest condolences to your family, your All My Children family, and your friends. The soap world has lost another gifted actor.
ALL MY CHILDREN was my first soap and Donna Beck was the reason I got hooked. I couldn’t get enough of teenage hooker Donna, her pimp Tyrone, her pal Estelle LaTour, Estelle’s pimp Billy Clyde Tuggle, Maggie Flanagan, Lettie Jean, and the rest of the Locust Street gang.
Donna was the center of so much story on AMC: the Donna/Chuck/Tara triangle; Donna’s car getting hit by the train resulting in amnesia and Donna thinking she was a hooker again; Donna’s first pregnancy resulting in a stillborn child (I still remember Donna shopping for baby clothes while Dr. Clater told Chuck that there was no heartbeat); Donna marrying Palmer Cortlandt and on her honeymoon in Switzerland sleeping with Chuck in a cave after an avalanche which resulted in Donna getting pregnant and Palmer, believing he was sterile, paying a doctor to tell Donna the child had a birth defect so she would get an abortion (luckily, Chuck arrived in a nick of time to stop the procedure); Donna and Benny raising Emily Ann after Estelle died on the way to the hospital when they thought the tot had swallowed a safety pin; Donna being the key to solving the murder of Zach Grayson; Donna trying to protect a grown Emily Ann from the returned Billy Clyde Tuggle.
Alan, thanks a million for bringing us up to speed on Donna’s main storylines! I watched at the time, but my memory is spotty. I do remember Phoebe giving Donna a hard time. I do remember Billy Clyde excitedly talking about buying a new “macro-wave oven!” I remember Donna and Estelle talking about “Sea City” or “C City,” which — correct me if I’m wrong — I think initially was short for “Center City,” where the hooker trade was happening.
But I really appreciate your filling in the gaps for me. Candace Earley was a wonderful, appealing actress, and her loved ones, as well as her fans, mourn her loss…
I left out The Chateau fire that resulted in baby Johnny dying (Chuck’s son) and Donna believing a rag doll was her baby. Ultimately Phoebe helped Donna come to terms with her loss. I always thought that was a huge mistake to kill off the child because he was a next generation Tyler.
^^^ per Jamesj75. ABSOLUTELY thank you for the recall
the delight of Donna… I always loved the wrong side of the track FLIGHT
PLAN
Candace Earley MADE it, showed up, and REELED
dang it tho… ALL these shows back in our day… were just loaded to the gills with TALENT… bar none.. FULL CAST
individual stand out.. she was awarded right outa the gate
I think Center City was where the hooker trade was located (and maybe Foxy’s, the bar where Opal forced Jenny to work to support the two of them). Sea City was where Jesse and Angie got married after they ran away with baby Frankie when they kidnapped him following Les Baxter forcing Angie to give the baby up for adoption.
Awesome! Thanks for the further details, Alan!
@James….Hearing “Billy Clyde” talk about anything was a sheer delight and laugh riot! I don’t think any soap character ever revelled in his own unrecognized ignorance as much as Mr. Tuggle did wiith his multi-mispronunciations and delusions of grandeur!!!! (Not to mention, his total lack of style which he seemed to think was fashion at its finest! I still remember that plumed fedora!) Perhaps my favorite thing was how Billy always referred to his car as “The Clydemobile!” Haha…It took a truly talented actor to make such a trashy reprobate as BCT so amusing…and Matthew Cowles did just that! IAlthough I have to admit I was totally taken aback when I discovered he was related to the Drexel dynasty…)
Awesome to see your reply, Shay! Glad you also liked Billy Clyde… I think many of us want some humor in our soaps — and in our daily lives! — and Matthew Cowles surely delivered! Thanks for reminding me about the fedora! I didn’t know about the Drexel dynasty connection (or the Drexel dynasty itself). Sadly, he and Candace Earley both have passed… I enjoyed the work of both actors. Take care, Friend!
Thank you, James! So good to hear from you! How could one NOT like Billy Clyde??? He was such a unique, memorable character with the knack to make any situation comical—-intentionally—-or otherwise! (I clearly recall an occasion when an agitated Mr. Tuggle was recovering from serious surgery whilst bellowing about “busticating his stiches!”) And to think it took a self-admitted black sheep of a blueblood family to play a whitetrash procurer with such absolute authenticity! Lol…Matthew Cowles indeed delivered his offbeat best in bringing to life some of the most bizarre creatures ever to inhabit daytime….he was also hysterically funny as Loving’s unlovably lovesick hillbilly, “Eban Japes,” who burst into Corinth to track down his erstwhile common law wife, “Lottie Bird!” Again, this extremely versatile actor’s wardrobe was unforgettable…manky overalls and a seriously mangy chapeau!!!! In the case of Cowles’ colorful characters, clothes really didn’t make the man, but they certainly were icing on the cake when it came to his outre’ portrayals! P.S. By the way, kudos to your latest Sonny comments….I read them with great relish, but didn’t get the chance to return back to the appropriate thread to echo them. No matter…between CeeCee and you, I think the subject was covered quite capably! Later, my friend!
Shay…girl…I remember BOTH AMC’S Billy Clyde Tuggle and Loving’s Eban Japes…HAPPILY AND TOTALLY!!!!! Also…BOTH Billy Clyde and Eban used to brighten my day with their LOL-filled antics. Most of all, if I remember correctly, Matthew Cowles was quite the popular and beloved star on the Broadway stage. In an interview years ago, Matthew said that he felt most at home on the Broadway stage. Memories.
Have a good one, Shay.
Hello to you, Jaybird! It’s always nice to share fan-favorite recollections of soap operas past and I’d have to say that those regarding Matthew Cowles and his crazy cast of characters are a true testament to his immense talent. To think that even decades after those performances in his two ABC soap roles he’s left behind such an indelible impression on us is quite remarkable! Those brilliant onscreen moments with Billy Clyde and Eban seem like just yesterday…I also vaguely recall one of the actor’s primetime appearances on a Law and Order episode when he played another really out-there type of guy called “Lemonhead!” As Mr. Tuggle would have observed, such bizarre characters were Cowles’ “speciality!” (Don’t you just love it when a performer comes to their role so completely immersed that they even invent their own unique vocabulary????? Not to mention donning a wardrobe that heralds their arrival without saying a word!) There’s no doubt that Cowles was a very special thespian, so I’m not at all surprised he loved the Broadway stage…I’m just glad he shared his gifts with the soap world where his inimitable characters will forever live on in our collective memory. You have a great day, too, Jaybird…it’s always a delight to hear from you!
Thanks, Shay!!!!! Much, much appreciated.
Later.
Just a quick reply, Shay. Thanks for the further details about Cowles’ characters! I forgot about his work on Loving (I rarely watched that one). And thanks for the acknowledgment and backup on my recent conversation with CeeCee on Sonny. As you know, I can’t help myself… Best to you, Shay!
It’s always my pleasure, James! The undeserved adulation and highly-questionable hero status bestowed upon the character of Sonny Corinthos shall forever beggar belief for me. The fact that there are other good people who share my particular disdain for GH’s most inexplicable and disturbing decision to designate this man (and his close circle of associates) as the show’s so-called “moral center” is indeed refreshing and welcome. Quite frankly, it never ceases to amaze and grate upon me the audacious efforts in which this soap engages in its futile attempts to sanitize the career criminal’s not so fragrant past so as to present him as a current pillar of the Port Charles community. As you passionately observed in your own posts, you are not buying what GH is selling when it comes to Sonny Corinthos….Well, neither am I!!! Take care, my firend!
One of the absolute best.
TAKEN from @Wiki :
“…Former prostitute and adoptive mother of Emily Ann Sago Martin. Her relationship with Chuck Tyler antagonizes Chuck’s grandmother, Phoebe Tyler. Married to Chuck Tyler, Palmer Cortlandt, Benny Sago and Chuck Tyler (again). Sister of Mitch Beck. She was romantically involved with Tom Cudahy and Ross Chandler. ”
Dag! didn’t she have it all. UBER HOTTED OUT Richard Van Vleet @Chuck Tyler !!! he was simply one of thee BEST. AND ??? Tom Cudahy AND Ross Chandler … what a girl, what a woman, what a chanteuse.
“…Earley’s portrayal proved popular with viewers, and won an award for Most Exciting New Actress in the first annual Soapies held in 1977 (these awards are now known as the Soap Opera Digest Awards). Over time, the character of Donna grew into a mature woman with a gift for singing. Earley was written out of the show in 1992. ”
she was such a captivating presence; she parlayed this role 15 PLUS Years. her first scenes @AMC show her beaten bloodied and in a coma at Pine Valley Hospital.. whodathunk
Good for her
Good Job Candace
i remember her as Donna. That was a character I like on AMC. So sad to hear of Candace’s passing. Rest In Peace, Candace.
Bless her heart, glad she passed over and is no longer in pain.
They really do come in threes don’t they?
I am so very sorry to hear of Candice’s passing! I totally remember this scene from AMC! Candice brought such a sweet vulnerability to the role of Donna Beck! My sincere and deepest sympathy to Candice’s family and friends and the entire AMC family!
I loved Donna. Candace was such an important part of AMC’s early years, an actor and character I missed when she left the show. Those were glorious days, when the Tylers were still part of the show….
Far too young,
Oh, I remember Donna, that set, and Chuck! He was so handsome! 68 is young today. God bless and Rest In Peace! Sad news.
I was very saddened to hear about Candace Earley Nolan passing away. My ALL-TIME FAVORITE AMC storyline featuring Donna was Donna and Natalie’s friendship. To me, Donna and Natalie’s friendship was WONDERFULLY TIMELESS!!!!! Yes.
Later.
God Bless Candace! She brought every afternoon an hour of friendship, kindness, humor & determination! She was a wonderful addition to the AMC cast! May you Rest In Peace dearest Candace & my deepest sympathy to your family!
I loved Donna on AMC. I still cry when I hear the song they used for the death of her baby.
I Remember Candace…when she came to Indianapolis and appeared at the Indiana State Fair. . we reminenced about the first time we met in New York on the set of AMC….Rest in peace dear one!!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Candace many years ago when she and Patrick Duffy from the tv show Dallas were at our local mall. She was very sweet as was he.
I met Candance at one of her fan parties. She was a wonderful person and terrific actress. We wrote to each other for a long time.
I just found out That Candace early has passed away who played Donna & Pat Tyler Court and on all my children I know her from Lawton Oklahoma she was a very nice lady she performed wonderfully at the theater we should begin she could hit a high note to break a class and to prove it she feels a glass with water and hit the high notes and shattered the Glass Rest iIn Peace Candace Early , Dona Beck Tyler Cortland Sago
I watched all my Children all those years when she was on. She was one of my favorite actress on the show along with Julia Barr. Susan Lucci was great too. Wondered what happened to Candace Early, and Sad she left us when she was still young.She’s joined the other greats on that show who passed on.
Very late on this…but, so sad to learn of Candace’s passing. I was 9 years old, and home from school for a week with the chicken pox. Previously, I had no interest in soap operas, but was flipping through the dial and stumbled on Donna Courtland in Gstaad, trapped under an avalanche with Chuck Tyler. My pop-cultural life was forever changed. Thank you Candace for introducing me to this highly entertaining genre. Rest easy, my friend.
For some reason Candi had been on my mind today – not even realizing it was nearly the anniversary of her passing. I met Candi when I was at Ohio University studying theater and journalism. On one of my spring breaks to NYC, I was granted an interview over at All My Children and Candi was one of the cast sent to talk with me. She was one of the sweetest people I had ever met. It seemed as though we had been friends for ages. We stayed in touch through her departure from AMC when she married Bob. I moved to CT and would go hang out with her at the studio. A constant joke between us was that I was from Ohio and went to Ohio U (OU) and her being an Oklahoma girl her support was Oklahoma U (OU) I once brought her an OU Sweatshirt and she gracefully put it on for a photo but joked it would never be worn in public 🙂 The year I graduated, I worked at the French Woods Festival of the Arts. Candi came up and did a workshop on television acting for the kids and a concert that night. She brought me up on stage and sang the song “Come In From The Rain” to me. That song has been going thru my head all day. Thank you Candi for the memories that still makes me smile.
I met Candy in NY in 1982. We had a lot of pics together. She was a wonderful person. We were friends for all the yrs till she passed.

The second installment is said to be written by primetime writer Leo Richardson whose credits include: Star, Katy Keene and more recently the Penn Badgley (ex-Phillip Chancellor IV, The Young and the Restless) starring series, You.

Thanks to Andrew Stearn, the Agnes Nixon estate, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos for entrusting Ron Carlivati, and me with the first of two planned All My Children movies for Lifetime!”

Jamey answered that head on via X and explained, “We turned in our All My Children script months ago. My sole focus as of this past Monday, is Genoa City, Wisconsin! #YR”

‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with the estate of Agnes Nixon (the legendary creator of All My Children). She recalled, “She (Agnes) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
