Agnes Nixon, creator of popular TV soaps, dies at 93

Agnes Nixon, the creative force behind the edgy and enduring TV soap operas “One Life to Live” and “All My Children,” died Wednesday. She was 93. She had just completed her memoir, “My Life to Live,” on Sunday, a week before it was due to publisher Penguin Random House for publication in early 2017, her son, Bob Nixon said. Nixon created, wrote and produced the long-running ABC daytime serials, which were cancelled in 2011 as the network bowed to the reality that soaps had faded as a daytime TV force. “All My Children” aired for nearly 41 years, while “One Life to Live” made it to 44 years.
