Robyn Griggs, soap opera actress, dies at 49 | EW.com - Entertainment Weekly News

Robyn Griggs, stage, film, and television actress primarily known for originating the role of Maggie Cory on Another World, has died.

Last month, Griggs revealed that she had four tumors, "two new tumors on my liver, one on abdominal muscle and [a] large one on [the] right side lymph node." And a few days before her passing, her Facebook page shared that her father would be taking her into hospice.

The producers of the soap claimed they were taking the character in a new direction, but Griggs maintained she was fired for being associated with notorious tabloid star John Wayne Bobbit.
