“All My Children” alum Alan Dysert died on Friday. He was 75.
Alan’s wife, Michele, said on Facebook that she’s “heartbroken” over the soap star’s death.
“While I am struggling to imagine life without him, I am forever grateful to have experienced what so many people spend their lives searching for — the love of a lifetime,” she wrote.
Michele didn’t confirm Alan’s cause of death, but she said he “faced more than his share of health challenges over the years, yet he continued to approach life with determination, humor, and gratitude.”
“He fought hard for the life he loved,” Michele continued, “and I was honored to stand beside him through it all.”
Alan previously revealed in his 2023 memoir, “Lights, Camera, Cancer!,” that he was diagnosed with a “rare, aggressive and incurable cancer.”
He wrote in the book that his treatment included four major cancer-related surgeries, a recurrence, chemotherapy and 29 CT scans.
In her tribute to Alan, Michele recognized his “extraordinary life,” from his “humble beginnings” growing up in Illinois, to becoming “an actor, musician, writer, filmmaker, producer, and beloved acting teacher.”
Michele said that while most people knew Alan for his role as Sean Cudahy on “All My Children” in the 1980s, others knew him “as the teacher and mentor who encouraged them to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams.”
