The Young and the Restless actress, Jess Walton (Jill) has suffered the loss of a very dear friend, Helen Reddy. Walton and Reddy have been friends for 50 years and sharing the sad news, she wrote, “My friend of 50 years, Helen Reddy. She welcomed me to Los Angeles when I arrived from Canada. We went through the Women’s Lib Revolution together. Our respective partners had grown up together in the Bronx ( that was our original connection) Although we lost touch over the years, we reconnected a couple of years back. She was a best friend when I needed one and a huge part of my youth. Much love to Traci and Jordan, what a spectacular mom you both had! Rest in peace Helen. I loved you very much and I always will.“
