Soap Opera Digest has reported that beloved soap star Jacqueline Courtney (born Sharon Courtney) has passed away of metastatic melanoma at age 64. Courtney was half of the iconic coupling of Alice and Steve (George Reinholt) on Another World and played the role from 1964-1975, and again from 1984-1985. After Another World, Courtney starred as the popular character of Pat Ashley on One Life To Live from 1975-1983. She retired from acting in 1987 after making a brief appearance on Loving but did appear on Another World's 25th Anniversary Week of episodes in 1989. She also returned a month later for Mac's funeral, her final appearance.
