Longtime ‘Young and the Restless’ actress dead at 75

“The Young and The Restless” family are in mourning.

Pamela Peters Solow, who originated the role of Peggy Brooks on “The Young and The Restless” in 1973, passed away on June 4. She was 75 and resided with her husband, Marty Levy, in North Hollywood.

The actress’ death was announced in a Facebook post by celebrity eyewear specialist Todd Hirsch.

“Ugh… so gutted,” he began. “Received news last night that my friend Pam Levy — one of the ‘coolest’ damn ladies I have ever had the good fortune to know — has passed. … I met Pam and her husband Marty in 2017 when I moved my office next to theirs in North Hollywood. The friendship with the two of them was ‘instant’.

“Besides their business, they both were actors,” he continued. Besides being a familiar face on the long running Daytime soap, the beloved actress “was in lots of commercials and basically every cool ’70s TV show, like “Happy Days,” “The Partridge Family,” “Emergency” and “Butch Cassidy.” And Marty has been in all sorts of things in his own right… ”

To conclude the tribute to his “second mom,” Hirsch noted, “I hope we meet again someday… ’cause whatever possible afterlife there is would definitely suck without being able to hang out with you again to talk lots of [expletive].”

Solow started playing the character of Peggy on the soap from 1973 to 1984. Her portrayal of the character highlighted many social issues in the soap’s storyline, often dealing with one devastating twist after another.
