Marnie Schulenburg dead at 37- As the World Turns & One Life to Live actress passes away after battle with breast cancer
Actress Marnie Schulenburg, star of As The World Turns and One Life to Live, has died at 37.
She passed away on Tuesday following a battle with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
A representative confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the soap star died at a hospital in Bloomfield, New Jersey.
Marnie is survived by her husband, actor Zack Robidas and their daughter Coda, two.
She had been married to Zack since 2013, and he is known for his roles in Succession and Sorry For Your Loss.
Marnie was diagnosed with cancer in May 2020, five months after her daughter’s birth in December 2019.
The Massachusetts native was best known for her role as Alison Stewart on As The World Turns, for which she received a Daytime Emmy nomination.
She played the character from 2007 until the show was cancelled in 2010.
Her three-year portrayal of Alison made her the longest-tenured actor in the role.
Following her breakout success, Marnie went on to star in the ABC soap One Life To Live, which hit screens in 2013.
