Daytime Emmys Apologize For In Memoriam Misidentifying ‘The Young And The Restless’ Actress Marguerite Ray - Deadline

The Young and the Restless actress Marguerite Ray was misidentified during the 48th Daytime Emmy Awards’ In Memoriam segment. The video tribute, presented on Friday, had her name appearing next to a photo of another Y&R alum—that being Veronica Redd.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences came forward on Saturday to apologize for the mix-up.

“We deeply regret this error and intend to re-edit the sequence for subsequent digital releases once a replacement image can be appropriately licensed,” wrote a spokesperson on the Daytime Emmys’ official Twitter account. “We sincerely apologize to the Ray family — as well as to Veronica Redd, whose image was inadvertently used instead. Each of these Daytime icons deserved better from our Academy.”

Ray is known for portraying Mamie Johnson, the first regular African-American character on The Young and the Restless. While she originated the role, and played it on the CBS soap opera for a decade, Redd took it over for a number of years, beginning in 1990.

Ray passed away on November 18, 2020, aged 89; Redd, however, is still very much alive.

The Daytime Emmys’ official apology for the In Memoriam error, spread across a three-part Twitter thread, can be found below.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
