Here’s a paraphrased spoiler for the movie “Day of our lives” titled “Very Sad News 😭 Days of our Lives Veteran Suzanne Rogers Celebrates Her Birthday”:

In a bittersweet moment on “Days of Our Lives,” beloved actress Suzanne Rogers, known for her role as Maggie Simmons Horton, marks a significant milestone as she celebrates her 81st birthday. Born Suzanne Cecilia Kumler in Midland, Maryland on July 9, 1943, Rogers embarked on a remarkable journey from her hometown to New York City at the age of 17 to pursue her dream of becoming a dancer. Her career flourished with roles as one of the prestigious Radio City Music Hall Rockettes and in Broadway musicals like “Coco,” “Hello, Dolly!” and “Follies.”

After a decade in the bustling city, Rogers headed to Hollywood where she trained under Stella Adler and soon landed the iconic role of Maggie Simmons on “Days of Our Lives” in August 1973. Her portrayal of the resilient farm girl endeared her to audiences for over a decade until 1984, during which time she faced personal challenges, including a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis, a rare neurological disorder. Temporarily stepping away from the show due to health reasons, Rogers returned a year later with improved health and successfully advocated for her character, Maggie, to also have myasthenia gravis, raising awareness through her role.

Beyond “Days of Our Lives,” Rogers has appeared in various television roles, including the TV movie “Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story,” where she portrayed herself, as well as guest appearances on “Love, American Style,” “Quincy, M.E.,” “Little House on the Prairie,” and “Knight Rider.”
