Actress Robyn Bernard was found dead in an “open field” this week in San Jacinto, California, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. But before her death, she’d fallen on hard times and may have been homeless, according to a small news outlet in the area.
At the height of her career in the 1980s—when she appeared in 145 episodes of the soap opera General Hospital as singer Terry Brock—Bernard lived in Malibu and was the subject of glowing newspaper profiles.
But after her run in show business sputtered to an end, she was living in a mobile home almost two hours from Los Angeles and had stopped connecting with fans, according to Eric Ackerman, a member of the General Hospital Fan Club who helps find past talent to reunite at its annual fan event each year.
