CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) star Don Diamont is honoring a soap legend that has recently passed away: Lee Phillip Bell. The actor, who is best known for his role as Bill Spencer on the hit soap, recently shared a touching post honoring the later soap pioneer on his Instagram account. Here’s what he has to say.
Sharing several photos of himself with Lee throughout the years, he captioned them with, “We lost our beloved and beautiful Lee Phillip Bell. The first picture is one that I hold dear from an impromptu lunch we had together. I value the second one as well because it’s the last picture of us. It was taken at the 2019 holiday party. I had and have so much respect, admiration, and affection for this woman. She was a special part of my entire adult life beginning in 1985 with Y&R, all the way through @boldandbeautifulcbs One moment in particular that I will never forget was receiving a call from @bradleybell a few weeks after I had been airing as $Bill Spencer. Brad said, “Your biggest fan wants to talk to you.” I didn’t know what was going on, but the next thing I knew Lee was on the phone saying, “I AM your biggest fan! I love what you’re doing with Bill, and just keep doing it!” We spoke a bit, and Brad got back on the phone. He said, “Well there you have it from the co-creator! “Indeed!”
