Who was Chris Robinson? General Hospital, Bold and Beautiful star dies at 86
Chris Robinson, known for his commanding presence on 12 O'Clock High, General Hospital and The Bold and the Beautiful, died on Monday at the age of 86. He breathed his last at his ranch near Sedona, Arizona, as confirmed by actor-musician MJ Allen, who had collaborated with Robinson on the 2022 film Just for a Week. A career that spanned over eight decades, Robinson's legacy is etched in the annals of American television and cult cinema. He was the man who once said on national television, 'I'm not a doctor, but I do play one on TV.' The 1960s brought him serious screen time. In John Frankenheimer's The Young Savages and Birdman of Alcatraz, he held his own alongside Burt Lancaster. It was 1965's 12 O'Clock High that made him a household name. Cast as Technical Sgt. Sandy Komansky, Robinson joined in Season 2 and remained a staple till the show's final episode in 1967. If you watched daytime television in the '70s and '80s, chances are you've seen Robinson in action. He stepped into General Hospital in 1978 as Dr. Rick Webber-twice married to Lesley, adoptive father to Laura. His presence on the ABC soap ran until 1986 and saw a dramatic return in 2002, only for his character to be fatally bludgeoned with a candlestick. He later joined The Bold and the Beautiful as Jack Hamilton, entangled in love triangles with Susan Flannery's Stephanie and Darlene Conley's Sally Spectra. His tenure on the CBS hit lasted a decade, with a brief encore in 2005. Outside the limelight, Robinson famously became the face of Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup. Though legal trouble interrupted the endorsement, conviction for income tax evasion led to Peter Bergman replacing him. Robinson, ever the survivor, served his sentence on nights and weekends while continuing to film General Hospital. Robinson's love for storytelling extended beyond acting. He wrote, directed, and starred in several indie films throughout the '70s-including Catch the Black Sunshine, The Intruder, and Thunder County. In a 2017 interview, he revealed, 'I wasn't involved in the editing and didn't even see the finished film, which was never released. I moved on to other projects and just forgot about it.' The actor reportedly had six children with multiple partners and countless stories tucked behind every chapter. His son, Chris, offered a glimpse into their unconventional family history in the documentaries Bankrupt by Beanies and Bastard: An Illegitimate Film. The latter revealed candid details about Chris's conception and their family dynamic: 'No matter how we came to be, all of us are connected.' Robinson is survived by his wife Jacquie (whom he married in 2011), his children Shane, Coby, Christian, Christopher, Chris and Taylor, and grandchildren Ivy, Ava, Davey, Brooks and Knox. He is widely remembered for his roles in 12 O'Clock High, General Hospital and The Bold and the Beautiful. Yes. In the mid-1980s, he pleaded guilty to income tax evasion. He served his sentence during evenings and weekends, continuing his role on General Hospital simultaneously. He had six children from multiple relationships and was also a grandfather to five.

Meet actress, known as 'The Kiss Girl', changed religion before marriage, Hema Malini used to get jealous of her; Her name is...
Many Bollywood actresses earned immense name and fame in their time, but over the years, their presence faded from the limelight. Today, we are going to talk about one such actress who rose to great fame during the 1960s and 70s. Sonia Sahni entertained audiences with her brilliant acting for 34 years, but her real life was filled with many ups and downs. She played the role of Rishi Kapoor's mother in the film Bobby – perhaps you'll recognise her from that. According to media reports, Sonia Sahni's family was Sikh, but after the partition, her parents converted to Christianity. Her real name was Usha Sahni, but she changed it after entering the film industry. Her family originally belonged to Pakistan; her father was from Lahore, and her mother from Peshawar. After the partition, the entire family settled in Kashmir, India. During Sonia's time in the industry, romantic scenes in films were often censored or symbolically portrayed using flowers. However, in her debut film, Sonia broke the norm by performing a kissing scene with I.S. Johar. This bold move gained her instant fame and earned her the title 'The Kissing Girl'. She was last seen in the 1999 film Phool Aur Aag. It is said that when her career was at its peak, she fell in love with Shiv Palitana, the prince of the famous Palitana state during the British Raj. His full name was Shivendra Singh Goyal. According to reports, Sonia married Shiv against her family's wishes. It is worth noting that he was already married and had a child before marrying Sonia. After marrying Shiv, Sonia became not only an actress but also a queen mother. She was very happy with her life, but in 1990, her husband passed away, and her life took a turbulent turn. In one of her interviews, she said that her husband's death felt like a curse because after his passing, Shiv's family began to resent her. Eventually, Sonia started spending her time at a school for mentally challenged children. Hema Malini was jealous of Sonia Sahni In an interview, Sonia revealed, 'Hema Malini would take panga with me. She didn't like me though I was not saying, 'Talk to me' or 'Be friends with me'. I think Dharmendra was paying a little extra attention to me and she didn't like it.'
