ABC’s Statement Regarding the Passing of “All My Children” Original Cast Member Mary Fickett (Ruth Martin):
We at ABC were very saddened to learn about the passing of one of “All My Children’s” original cast members, Mary Fickett, who portrayed beloved nurse Ruth Brent Martin from 1970-1995 and again from 1998-2000. As we honor “All My Children’s” 41 years on ABC, we cannot help but recognize and remember Mary’s wonderful depiction of Pine Valley’s revered Ruth.
