told the Associated Press, per ABC. “This was before people were that aware. There was a great disbelief that here this man was trying to harm me, and the police could do nothing about it.”The stalker, a Russian man who cut his wrists on the “OLTL” studio steps and wrote death threats to Evans in blood, was not arrested because no stalking laws existed at the time and Evans was not physically harmed.

However, she later claimed that “some good” came out of the experience. “I was able to help by publicizing it, to help get better stalking laws enforced.

I think that’s another reason I was thrilled to be at ‘One Life To Live,’ to kind of bring the whole situation … full circle,” she explained In 2008, Evans delighted fans by returning to “OLTL.”“No matter what show I went to, no matter what other work I did or even in my own personal life, people want me to come back to ‘One Life To Live,'” Evans told ABC News Radio. “And at some point, I had to honor their wishes.”In April, Evans celebrated “The Young and the Restless” 50th anniversary on Instagram. “Took me a week to find this!” she captioned a photo of herself as her character. “Happy 50th anniversary to Y&R.

So proud to have been a part of this show.”She also has numerous primetime credits, including “Circus of the Stars” and “Hollywood Squares.” Her reps told The Post that Evans recently completed work on her forthcoming memoir, “My One Life To Live.”Evans is survived by her husband Steve, daughter Kylie, and her dog, Mila..
