Of course Mary (Carolyn Conwell) did not approve of Cindy because of her past but she allowed Paul to let her stay at the family's home near the end. And that is where she died. <br />We soap watchers have memories that go back 20, 30 or more years.

I cannot remember her name on the show,(Mindy?) but she had been a former hooker and had lived a very difficult life. This was in about 1983 or 1984 before Lauren. Anyway, Paul was inconsolable, and Mary comforted him by saying "Paul, she is only a breath away." The words comforted Paul and also me and I am sure other viewers too, because we had seen this young woman overcome such obstacles, and then only to die. It was so sad I cannot tell you. But there was Mary with her faith- and life goes on. We long time Y and R viewers will all miss Carolyn Conwell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-30118214342216171402012-12-04T20:51:34.491-05:002012-12-04T20:51:34.491-05:00I agree with everyone above.

Her presence in the last few Williams-centric stories has been greatly missed. Everything just seemed a little 'off' without Mary being around to give her two cents.<br /><br />A little bit of Y&R trivia: About three years prior to Bill Bell hiring Conwell to play Mary, the matriarch of The Williams Family, he'd cast her in the pivotal role of "Marion Reeves," the mother of rapist Ron Becker (Dick DeCoit) during Ron's trauma-filled redemption phase.

Hearing news like this makes me wish soaps honored their longtime actors and audiences with better storytelling for older characters/actors.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239622379008070059noreply@blogger.com
