(ConservativeInsdier.org) – Tributes poured in for Hollywood star actress Robyn Bernard, who acted as the unforgettable Terry Brock in a six-year stint on the beloved soap opera “General Hospital.” Bernard was discovered dead in San Jacinto, California – she was aged 64.
The cause of death remains unknown, with local authorities conducting an investigation. While foul play is not suspected, details surrounding her passing are still emerging.
Born in Gladewater, Texas, in 1959, Bernard’s career began on an international stage. Her debut came in the 1981 French thriller “Diva,” directed by Jean-Jacques Beneix. She even reunited with Beneix for his 1986 Oscar-nominated film “Betty Blue.”
American audiences were introduced to Bernard in the 1980s when she landed guest appearances on shows like “Whiz Kids,” “The Facts of Life,” and “Simon and Simon.” But it was in 1984 that her career took a major turn.
Bernard joined the cast of General Hospital, portraying the aggressive and ambitious Terry Brock. The character, the daughter of the villainous D.L. Brock (played by David Groh), quickly became a fan favorite. Terry’s journey resonated with viewers, particularly her struggles with alcoholism that intertwined with her dreams of becoming a singer. Bernard brought depth and vulnerability to the role, captivating audiences for 145 episodes until her character’s departure in 1990.
After her time on ”General Hospital” Bernard’s acting career continued, albeit less frequently. She appeared in projects like the French miniseries “Maigret” and the films “Kings for a Day” and “Roselyne and the Lions.” Her final on-screen role came in 2002 with the film adaptation of “Voices from High School.”
The News of Bernard’s passing came as a shock to fans who remember her fondly – as they took to social media to express their condolences, sharing memories of Terry Brock and Bernard’s captivating performance. Many recalled her character’s signature song, “You and Me Against the World,” highlighting the spirit and resilience Terry embodied.
Bernard is also remembered as the older sister of actress Crystal Bernard, known for her role on the sitcom “Wings.” Crystal, their sister Scarlett, and their father, Jerry Wayne Bernard, survived her.
