Thank You Jackie Zeman (aka-Barbera Jean Spencer)!!!! I started watching my 3 favorite Soaps. All My Children, One Life to Live and my all-time favorite ❤ GENERAL HOSPIAL. My Aunt made us sit in front of the TV at the age of 9 or 10 to watch all of them between 12 noon till 2pm were the times that they came on in Dallas Texas. After that I was hooked for life. I would hang up the phone in people face really fast so I wouldn't miss anything. On behalf of the big "D "fans . Job well done for reaching our hearts and souls for so many years. I know we all have to take that ultimate journey but we fans always think our Soap family should live forever. As your fellow soap star Jack Wagner song says is "All I need is just a little more time!

I was privileged to meet Jackie and interview her twice. What an upbeat, delightful woman, so easy to interview. After watching her on the show from 1977 on, it was a thrill for me.
Jackie has left a wonderful legacy of family, friends, and of course “Bobbie.” She was the best.

Over 30 years ago I happened to be on the same flight as Jackie Zeman. We missed our connecting flight from Denver to Burbank. She and I and another guy took a flight that was leaving right away to LAX. I had no idea who she was. When the flight landed in LAX, she had her limo driver drop her off and then had him drive me and the other guy to Burbank airport, so we could get our cars. She was nice and down-to-earth. It was very kind of her to help us get our cars. That said a lot about the type of person she was. RIP, Jackie.
