One of the more powerful messages came from Alley Mill’s former costar, Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan) on her Instagram.
“It is incredibly sad and shocking to hear what happened to Orson Bean. He was walking across the street last night and was struck by a car. So devastating! My heart goes out to his wife, Alley Mills, and their family. Orson was such an amazing man! He was a brilliant actor! And sooo kind to everyone. Always so positive and energetic and charming. He still had so much life and love to give. We were just at the play Bad Habits 2 weeks ago laughing and enjoying both Alley’s and Orson’s amazing and funny performances. We had many laughs. I hope that you are happy up there dancing in heaven Orson! We will miss you. You are loved! And Alley, we are here for you always.”
