Esta TerBlanche, ‘All My Children’ Actor, Dies at 51

Esta TerBlanche, best known for her role as Gillian Andrassy on “All My Children,” has died. She was 51.
TerBlanche died on Thursday at her home, according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner. Her cause of death is under investigation.
Her talent manager, Annie Spolianky, also confirmed the news to Variety, saying that TerBlanche was a “wonderful, kind and loving person.”
TerBlanche played Gillian, a troublesome Hungarian princess, on “All My Children” from 1997 to 2001.

TerBlanche returned as Gillian’s ghost for one episode in 2011, as the soap opera wrapped up its four-decade run on ABC.
“When I came back, it was really emotional for me and Cameron. When we saw each other, we both started bawling,” TerBlanche told Soap Opera Digest...
