The actress won a Daytime Emmy for her role on the soap opera.

She first joined the series in 1982 and returned over the years for guest spots and appearances -- including a recurring storyline focused on her character's Alzheimer's diagnosis. "We are so grateful to Marla for raising Alzheimer's awareness onscreen through her role on The Young and the Restless and offscreen as an#ENDALZ Celebrity Champion," the organization wrote. Prior to her role on the CBS series, the actress made her on-screen debut in Elia Kazan's Splendor in the Grass alongside Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty.
