Rebecca Balding, a veteran stage and screen actress who appeared on “Soap” and “Charmed,” has died. She was 73.<\/p>\n

Balding’s husband, actor and director James L. Conway, confirmed her passing to Deadline on Wednesday. He revealed that she died Monday in Park City, Utah, after battling ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n

According to the outlet, Balding was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. She studied acting at the University of Kansas before heading to Chicago, where she became an award-winning stage actress. She eventually had her sights set on Hollywood and moved to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Balding kicked off her career on the West Coast as a scream queen. She appeared in such horror films as 1979’s “The Silent Scream” and 1982’s “The Boogens,” where she met Conway.<\/p>\n

“I was casting the movie ‘The Boogens,'” the 71-year-old recalled to People magazine. “Rebecca came in to audition. We chatted, she read and when she left, I turned to the associate producer and said, ‘I could marry that girl.’<\/p>\n

“Somehow she got cast,” Conway continued. “The first week of shooting we went out. That Saturday night, she proposed. And four weeks later, while still shooting, we got married. Of course, no one thought it would last. That was 41 years ago.”<\/p>\n
