Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes OUT at ABC and ‘GMA3’
There was an article a few years ago, she was bedridden and living with her daughter. Someone asked for happy birthday wishes be sent to her and they would bring them to her daughter. I sent/posted mine. I hope she did receive them all ultimately.
This is something else that she passed away near the time her show is going dark. RIP Mary Fickett.
Very sad news…she has been missed on AMC for years (no offense to Lee Meriweather). I’m sure Fran Heflin gave her a big hug from all of us…
So sorry to hear this.Really loved her acting.RIP

omg!! she was just awesome in the role of ruth martin – my heart & prayers definitely go out to her family & loved ones……..
What a gift she gave us for almost 30 years. She was an incredibly important part of AMC for me from the very first day. I don’t know why, but for some reason, that actress and that character always had a great appeal for me. In Chicago, where I’d moved from Iowa in 1972, I actually got to meet her.

Actress Mary Fickett, who twice appeared on ‘The Edge of Night,’ and was married to Edge long-time director Allen Fristoe, has died in Fredericksburg, Va., at the age of 83. Mary Fickett’s passing now makes four of the most recently cancelled shows have suffered losses in their professional families. Days before the final airring of GL, Tom O’Rourke, aka Dr. Justin Marler, died. O’Rourke’s passing was ironic, as his character was the biological father of Phillip Spaulding, and days before GL’s final episode, the man who had raised Phillip, Alan Spaulding, died (played by Ron Raines). As we all know,… Read more »
Rest in peace, Mary. We love you & Ruth very much!
Oh what sad news….Rip Mary and God speed.
Your good works on AMC will never be forgotten.
Sad news….as with Helen Wagner (ATWT) she didn’t make it until the end (of her show’s run).
I always liked Ruth my deepest condolences to her family.
Mary was as All My Children is, part of our family. She seemed like a sweet, genuine person. My deepest sympathy to your family Mary. May God grant them peace. Thank you for being a part of our lives for 30 years!
I am so sorry to read this. I grew up with this wonderful woman , watching her daily. She was like family. Rest In Peace Mary. We love you always!
