Los Angeles, California – The recent death of Alec Musser, a former star of “All My Children,” has left many of his colleagues and friends with unanswered questions. Musser, who was only 50 years old and in excellent physical shape, passed away on January 12. One of his longtime co-stars, Jacob Young, who played JR alongside Musser’s Del, opened up about his grief and shared fond memories of their friendship.
Young revealed that he and Musser would catch up several times a year, especially when Musser visited his residence in Utah. They had remained in touch ever since their time on “All My Children” and even attended each other’s important life events. Musser was even a guest at Young’s wedding, and the two would often go out for dinners in New York City during their courtship days.
The sudden loss of Musser has hit Young hard, particularly because there have been several losses within the daytime community in recent months. Young expressed his condolences for Musser’s loved ones and lamented the passing of other soap actors, including Billy Miller and Jackie Zeman.
Reflecting on the inevitable reality of death, Young mentioned that reaching a certain age often means losing friends. However, Musser’s passing came as a shock, as he seemed invincible due to his dedication to health and fitness. Young extended his prayers and well wishes to Musser’s family, emphasizing the deep sorrow he feels for their loss.
As we pay tribute to the soap opera actors we lost too soon, let us take a moment of silence to honor their memory. The passing of talented individuals, like Musser, reminds us of the fragile nature of life and the impact they have left behind in the entertainment industry.
