Among those we remember is Barbara Stanwyck, who portrayed the manipulative matriarch Mary Carson. A titan of Hollywood, Stanwyck’s passing in 1990 at the age of 82 marked the end of an era. Christopher Plummer, who played the wise Archbishop, left us just two years ago, a testament to the enduring impact of his role. Other notable talents like Earl Holliman, Ken Howard, and Jean Simmons also contributed significantly to the series and have since departed, their performances forever etched in our hearts.
