Born Wilma Jeanne Cooper, October 25, 1928 in Taft, California, our dear friend lovingly known to us as Katherine Chancellor celebrated 80 years of life.
For most of us, we have grown up watching her battle alcoholism, handle Chancellor Industries, reunite with her former nemesis turned daughter (perhaps) Jill Foster Abbott and out last any man that she ever loved (careful Murphy, hopefully Jill won't fall in love with you too!)
She and Victor Newman are what many of us associate with The Young and The Restless. She has truly lived her life in front of many of us, to include having her real life face-lift written into The Y and R script. Regardless of all obstacles placed in front of her in her role, she always survives and keeps her grace and integrity in tact. However her on screen life is a small feat in comparison to the real life mother and grandmother who has maintained her career for so long and has reached her 80th Birthday.
Jeanne Cooper is the mother of three children, actor Corbin Bernsen, formerly of L.A. Law born September 7, 1954 who is married to British actress Amanda Pays. Actor, Collin Bernsen, born March 30, 1958, and one daughter, Caren born August 17, 1960 who is also an actress. Corbin and Amanda have also given her the lead role as a Grandmother to Oliver Miller (born 1989), twins Henry and Angus (born 1992), and Finley (born 1998)
From all of your fans who think of you ever so fondly, Happy Belated Birthday!!! In a time where 20 year olds can barely remember their phones numbers, I am even more impressed by your ability to portray Katherine Chancellor so diligently for such a long time.

She's been doing this show all of my life.
All of mine as well. I didnt even know she had ever done any other shows but appearently she did.
I wonder what her retirement package will look like. Rumor has it she just signed a three year contract. She has been on Y and R like Joepa has been the coach for Penn State. We are....Penn State
