Pamela Peters Solow, best known for originating the role of Peggy Brooks on The Young and the Restless in 1973, has passed away. She was 74.
Born on May 8, 1950, in New York, Solow launched her acting career in the early 1970s and quickly became a familiar face on television. Alongside her breakthrough role on the long-running CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless, she also appeared in a number of popular series throughout her career, including Emergency!, Man from Atlantis, The Partridge Family, Room 222, Happy Days, and the animated series Butch Cassidy.
In addition to her television work, Solow starred in the film Omega Cop (1990). A friend close to the family, Todd Hirsch, shared the sad news on Facebook, writing:
“Ugh…so gutted…
Received news last night that my friend Pam Levy (one of the COOLEST damn ladies I have ever had the good fortune to know) has passed…
If you know me IRL, you _definitely_ know my sense of humor and that I have no filter whatsoever
…well, Pam was my female counterpart, for SURE…
I met Pam and her husband Marty in 2017 when I moved my office next to theirs in North Hollywood. The friendship with the two of them was INSTANT. Besides their business, they both were actors : Pam was the original “Peggy Brooks” character on the soap #TheYoungandtheRestless in the 1970’s, and she was in LOTS of commercials and basically every cool #70s tv show, like #HappyDays, #ThePartridgeFamily , #Emergency , and #ButchCassidy. And Marty has been in all sorts of things in his own right, from #BackToTheFutureII to #LALaw to #AllyMcBeal to #ER.
Sending lots of love & healing thoughts to Marty…I love you lots, buddy…
And to Pam: I love you, “Second Mom”
…
I hope we meet again someday…cuz whatever possible Afterlife there is would definitely suck without being able to hang out with you again to talk lots of
“
Beyond her screen credits, Solow was also the creator of Chocolate Fortunes. The role of Peggy Brooks was also played by Patricia Everly. Solow’s contribution to the show’s early success remains significant in the annals of daytime television.
Pamela Peters Solow is remembered not only for her talents as an actress but also for her warmth, humor, and compassionate spirit by those she touched. She leaves behind a legacy that will be cherished.
