Days of Our Lives star, Frances Reid who played Alice Horton for 42 years, has died at the age of 95.  Frances Reid died yesterday (February 3.)

The actress began her career with a small role in 1938 movie Man-Proof, before landing a string of jobs on Broadway.
She was said to have been reluctant to accept the part of Alice in Days of our Lives after an exhausting run on another soap opera – Portia Faces Life in 1954.
But the role made her a household name after the series’ premiere in November 1965 – and eventually earned her a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Daytime Emmys in 2004.
Reid made her final appearance on Days of our Lives in December 2007.
She married actor Philip Bourneuf in 1940 and the pair remained together until his death in 1979.

Frances Reid will be truly missed.  I can’t imagine Days of Our Lives without her.  I have been watching most of my life and it’s just so sad.  I know that she lived a good life, lived to a ripe old age, but it’s still a loss.
