The Young and the Restless Cooper is best known for role as Katherine Chancellor on the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless. Her character has broken ground in the daytime medium; Katherine has endured several bouts with alcoholism, and the loss of many men in her life (four late husbands, and a child given away after birth).[2] In 1984, Katherine (and Cooper) also had a facelift on national television (Cooper had pitched the idea of having a live facelift to CBS executives, who agreed to write the facelift into the show for Katherine Chancellor).[1][3][4] For many years, the story of Katherine's bitter rivalry with character Jill Foster Abbott has been a mainstay of the show. (In real life, Cooper and Jill's portrayer, Jess Walton, were close friends.) It was revealed in 2003 that Jill was Katherine's daughter born out of wedlock,[5] but developments in 2009 cast doubt upon that assertion and the long bitter enemies were found not to be mother and daughter after all.
