Pamela Blair, an Emmy-nominated actress from "All My Children" and Broadway star in "A Chorus Line," has died. She was 73.
The actress' death follows a "long battle" with an illness, her representative Dani Green told USA TODAY.
Blair was a success on both Broadway and later television. She made her major stage debut in 1968 in the production of "Promises, Promises."
She went on to star in "Sugar and Seesaw," "Of Mice and Men," "King of Hearts," "The Nerd," "A Few Good Men" and more.
Blair's most well-known role on Broadway was as Valerie "Val" Clarke in "A Chorus Line." Her character was "loosely based on her own life, and she was a part of the musical from the very first workshop," the show's composer Marvin Hamlisch's social media account said in a tribute Monday.

"Our thoughts are with her loved ones and fans," Hamlisch added.
Blair also made a mark in television, making guest appearances in "Ryan's Hope," "Loving" "The Cosby Show," "Another World," "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "All My Children."
Her brief run on "All My Children" earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination in 1987.
