The Lead Actress category at the 2008 Daytime Emmys. Jeanne Cooper (Katherine, The Young and the Restless) wins. This is her first competitive Emmy. She won a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.
2024 and i still come back to this from time to time. I rarely watched The Young and the Restless, mostly when I visited my nana (Rest well Nana), and i loved our Y & R time together. Jeanne Cooper killed it as Katherine Chancellor. I remember the day my Nana told me that Jeanne passed away and i had little tears running down my face because I loved Jeanne. Rest well Jeanne. We will always love you and miss you 😊 well deserved!
She's been around forever - I remember her back when I was in school during the 70's and would get home early to watch Young and the Restless and Mrs. Chancellor. RIP Jeanne Cooper and thank you for all the wonderful performances!!
She may have been all cool and nonchalant up there but we all saw the shock and excitement when they called her name LOL! What a fabulous lady! Sassy and classy!
Jeanne was a great broad in every sense of the word. YR died a little bit when she departed this Earth. But she’s smiling down, knowing the show must go on.
Yeah, when Tyra called Jeanne Cooper's name she almost didn't get up a first, and then look at Doug Davidson applauding and smiling I couldn't help but laugh every time I see it. I like what Jeanne said "I Bet You Thought I Had Died" and "Oh, dear, High-definition or not High-Definition, I'll tell you it's a bitch isn't it" lmao...you deserved it very much.
An Emmy VERY Well deserved!!! She is THE best actress on Daytime! Now that They've managed to get Jeanne an Emmy, lets work on Melody Thomas Scott!!!! Another very well deserving actress.
Okay, each year Jeanne is nominated, they need to just have her win so she can keep giving hilarious acceptance speeches! LMAO I love this. She is such a hoot :)
I hope Jeanne wins again this year! She is my favorite actress on Y&R. She really has had a meaty role the past few months! GO Jeanne Go, you deserve Win #2!!!! You Rock Girl!
Long overdue for our classy queen 👑👑❤❤ So beyond happy that she finally won!!! Shocking that it took so long for such a talented, lovely woman ❤❤ the whole nomination/voting process makes no sense to me, and this is one of many examples of why it doesn't, I'll never understand how it works smh
"I bet you all thought I was dead!" Jeanne Cooper is a GODDESS and it was a well-deserved win! I really do hope she wins again for her Marge storyline! What an awesome performance!
Cannot believe that she has never won before now...something is wrong with the way that they configure this award process....Cooper has been devine for decades (even when she didn't have a story to shine in she has been stellar).
I just said the same thing. I don't understand how the nomination/voting works because there's so many examples like this where it takes a lifetime for our LEGENDS to win smh
@whipple456 you can tell that we are all very protective of Maura because we love her as an actress. And she does seem like a totally classy lady...;-) Now she'll be on Y&R and you'll see how awesome she is!
For me personally, no Oscar, Emmy or Golden Globe is able to define an Actress or an Actor. By the end of the day it's not the Award that makes their work complete but how the Actors themselves see their performance.
Chappell is very good...have seen her on DAYS too and she is always giving raw emotion & nuance in her scenes. Not sure that she has not tried to do more film work - it's a tough field.
the thing w/ me, i watch Y&R B&B and a lil of ATWT AND OLTL! so i like 4 out of the 5 actresses! idc who wins rly, except if its that one from AMC! THEN ill be mad!
@Messylin maura was not pregnant. her last baby at that time was dec. 2007. Her last baby ever was june 2009. the emmys were held june 2008. so unless it does not take 9 months to be pregnant, she was rude.
Miranda Hayes I can never understand some of the Daytime Emmy nominations, yet alone the wins. But, there is a lot of talent and some years the competition is very tough. Also, it’s about choosing the right reel to submit to the judges and a lot of politicking, just like all awards.
Jamey keeps it real 100% and he's right! Tell me this, has Ken Corday ever wrote for Days or does he give out orders, because he always make comments about Days, that doesn't make sense...
the acting stuff most often goes to the CBS soaps...as it should. all of the nomiinees this year...cbs. as much as GL and ATWTs ratings may have suffered some, they are still great shows.
@MayJay4 Maura West was pregnant at the time so that's why she was sitting, I thought the same thing about her not standing up..now I know the reason, and I feel completely foolish.
@MayJay4 Jeannie could act circles around Maura? Are you kidding me? Maura has won 2 Emmy's out of seven nominations over the course of only ten years. They both are great actresses, obviously. We don't have Y&R here, but from what I've seen from Jeannie, she's great. Although it's kinda hard to understand what she's saying most of the time.
SRY but i have to disagree with that. even though i think that she completely deserved it. Crystal Chappell is THE best actress daytime I've seen this year.
