Y&R's Jeanne Cooper Reveals Affair with On-Screen Son, Beau Kayzer in New Memoir!
The Young and the Restless sensational Jeanne Cooper is about to finally have her tell-all memoir, Not Young, Still Restless, released at the end of July. And now the Daytime Emmy award winning legend, who has played the iconic Katherine Chancellor f0r 39 years on the number one soap, is talking to promote it in what is perhaps the most highly-anticipated personal memoir of any daytime star!
Today in an item from the New York Post, Cooper talks about the startling revelation in her book that she indeed had an affair with her on-screen son, Brock, played by Beau Kayzer! Cooper admitted the affair with Kayzer, who was 21 years younger, began after a devastating divorce from her cheating husband which blind-sided her like a sucker punch from a heavyweight. In discussing how the affair began, Cooper related, “Well, he brought one of the kindest, most grounded, kinds of simplicity to life. He was a great conversationalist, a poetic kind of person. And you know what? He delivers lines better than anyone I’ve ever known! We had dinner one night, and then, it went further. He made the first move. But the age difference was not for me. He kept saying he had no problem with it and that age meant nothing to him.”
As soap fans know, Kayzer still pops up now and then in Genoa City still playing Brock. And when the NY Post asked if Cooper was still attracted to Beau, Jeanne giggled and said, “I still can’t say ‘hi’ to him without, well, you know.” Cooper’s memoir, Not Young, Still Restless can now be pre-ordered on Amazon.com!
So what do you think of the affair between Jeanne and Beau? Shocked? Not-shocked? Let us know your thoughts? One thing is for sure; Cooper will tell it like it is in her new book, and in a life that has spanned 84 dramatic and fulfilling years, we can’t wait to read it!
Wow!!
It IS shocking, but you know what? As soap fans, we really shouldn’t be shocked by anything, LOL. The actors spend so much time together that those kinds of things have happened over the years…frequently.
And didn’t Mrs. Brady (Florence Henderson) have an affair of sorts with the actor who played her oldest stepson Greg in the ealry 1970s? Jeanne, you do whatever the hell you want with a consenting adult. Oooooooooooh, barraCOUGAR! LOL
I look forward to reading it.Shocked?-no,whatever gets you thru the night,with consenting adults.
Nothing Jeanne says is a shocker and if u have been fortunate enough to meet Beau in person like I have, you would know the attraction he has to women!
I hope she mention all of Terry Lester’s antics. Lots of sex happened in his dressing room various Vamps.
Terry Lester was gay
I think it is wonderful.. Ms. Cooper lived a memory for a lifetime, good for her..
She was happy and enjoyed every minute of their together time..
I bow to the awesome lady!!
She had the courage to what many of us only dream of doing.
We lose she wins !! 🙂
Not shocked at all. Can’t wait to read. Remember when Kay had a lift on Y&R. Love her then & still. Her son Corbin acting skills came from his Mama.
Good for her!!!!! She is an amazing woman and actress and I support whatever makes her happy. Never dreamed Mrs “C” was a COUGAR. YOWZA!!!!!!!
Always new she was a cougar look at all her on tv relationships!
Until a younger woman comes along… I still give her a thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t think I would ever do that…I prefer a man to be older than me….Not younger…That would make me uncomfortable…By the way my husband is a few years older than me…That’s the way I like it………
Go girl!
84? Really? I wish Hollywood would realize the vitality of so many like her. The bias against old people seems to remain despite the presence and gifts of Betty White, Cloris Leachman, the just departed Ernest Borgnine… Treasures! I have enjoyed the many memooirs of late… Lucci, Zimmer… This one could be a real winner!
Wow is right!!! I have watched these two actors in their scenes over three decades. It never occurred to me that anything ever went on between them.
It has been a LONG time since something really surprised or interested me about Y&R. Given the unacceptably poor quality of the writing and the complete lack of creativity by the Y&R writing staff, maybe the show would be wiser to give its bland storytelling a rest for a week and just give Cooper five episodes to talk about this type of stuff!!!!
Can’t great to read it! I wonder if she weighs in on the Brenda Dickson stuff too…
Now that’s a bombshell worthy of the Grand Dame of all soaps!! I am THRILLED that the soap icon is publishing a memoir! Art imitating life! What a fantastic title, too! Brava, Jeanne Cooper! Every fan of Y&R should own this book, and I can’t wait to get my copy!
Well he did’nt call her the “Duchess” for nothing. LOL
Go, Jeanne & Beau, Go–Woo, Woo!! 😀 😀
Good for you Grand Dame Jeanne 🙂
Bravo for Ms Cooper. Love it
You Go Mrs.C!!!
Not shocked but surprised,it helped get over the hurt with an adult so good for her.Just because some one is over 60 or even 70 does not mean they are ready for the rocking chair some people are old at 30 age is really only a number its how you live life that really counts.She is one of my favorite actresses.
You go Mrs. C. !!
I love you and respect you so much.
I’m so glad you are still with us on Y&R.
Can’t wait to read your memoirs.
Luv ya
It does not affect me in the slightest, as Jeanne Cooper was a great lady and a real human being, strong attractions happen in life, whether we started out seeking them or not, things happen. Jeanne played Katherine Chancellor for 39 years and will be greatly missed.
she was obviously very honest about the relationship which is to her credit, how many could do the same. She gave us many years of wonderful acting and great storylines. Y & R will never be the same, end of an era.
I love Beau and Jeanne. So what? They are two wonderful human beings.
I have his album. I met Jeanne Cooper at Virginia Center Commons Mall grand opening, I had her to sing “I am gonna live until I die”, that little song that she would do on Y&R at times. What a DIVA!!!!!!!
Brock, you will be missed, what a wonderful actor.
