Rebecca Balding, best known for her roles on “Soap” and “Charmed,” has died. She was 73.
Balding died Monday in Park City, Utah, following a battle with ovarian cancer, Balding’s husband James L. Conway confirmed to USA TODAY.
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Balding made her television debut in 1976, appearing on the action drama “The Bionic Woman.” Two years later, she landed the role of Carol David in the dramedy series “Soap,” which also starred Katherine Helmond, Richard Mulligan and Emmy-winning actor Billy Crystal.
Balding was also something of a scream queen pioneer, starring in the horror thrillers “The Silent Scream” in 1979 and “The Boogens” in 1981. It was on the set of “The Boogens” that Balding would meet her future husband Conway, who directed the film.
