Brown first joined “General Hospital” in 1977 and earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 1979. Although she left in the mid-1980s, she recurred occasionally, with her final appearance coming in 2004. She also appeared in the spinoff “Port Charles,” as well as the other daytime dramas “As the World Turns” and “Santa Barbara.” She also had guest roles on primetime series “Murder, She Wrote,” “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Barney Miller” and “Frasier,” and played two first ladies in TV movies — Pat Nixon in “The Final Days” and Nancy Reagan in “Without Warning: the James Brady Story.”
