It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to one of the greatest divas of our time.

Marla Adams, the beloved star of “The Young and the Restless,” has left us at the age of 85. As fans mourn the loss, let us take a moment to celebrate her remarkable career and the indelible mark she has left on the world.

Marla Adams was born on August 28, 1938, in Ocean City, NJ. Her journey in the entertainment industry began in New York City, where she attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

She graced the Broadway stage in the late 1950s, sharing her exceptional talent with legendary performers such as Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in “The Visit.” And in 1961, she captivated us with her role in “Splendor in the Grass,” alongside Natalie Wood.
