As ABC’s daytime drama All My Children nears its end on September 23, one of its original cast members, Mary Fickett died last Thursday at the age of 83. Ms. Fickett played nurse Ruth Brent Martin on the soap and in 1973 won the first ever Emmy Award granted to an actress in a daytime drama following her character’s passionate anti-Vietnam War speech. ABC released a statement yesterday regarding the passing of Ms. Fickett. “We at ABC were very saddened to learn about the passing of one of All My Children’s original cast members,Mary Fickett, who portrayed beloved nurse Ruth Brent Martin from 1970-1995 and again from 1998-2000. As we honor All My Children’s 41 years on ABC,we cannot help but recognize and remember Mary’s wonderful depiction of Pine Valley’s revered Ruth. Ruth’s marriage to chief of staff Dr. Joe Martin provided the bedrock upon which the town of Pine Valley was built. Their marriage was always a stabilizing force that represented ‘home’ for many. In memoriam, the network will dedicate the September 21 episode to Mary, which specifically focuses on the Martins. We extend our deepest sympathy and thoughts to Mary’s family and longtime fans.”
