Dee Spills the Tea: Jeanne Cooper and Katherine Chancellor both get a Facelift

Daytime star Jeanne Cooper didn’t hide the fact that she got a facelift in 1984. She couldn’t, since footage from the procedure aired on The Young and the Restless 40 years ago, on March 28 of that year.

Cooper said that when she asked The Young and the Restless co-creator Bill Bell for time off to recover from her facelift, he thought that art could imitate life. “He came down to the dressing room one day, and he said, ‘Jeanne, how would you feel about if we put Katherine through this?’ I said, ‘Well, it’s a very good idea, since I’m going through it now and I am Katherine.’”

And so The Young and the Restless’s cameras were rolling in the operating room when Cooper went under the knife — and again in the office of Dr. Harry Glassman, Cooper’s plastic surgeon, when Cooper had her bandages removed the following day. Glassman was the one whose hands did the unwrapping as an offscreen actor read the lines of Katherine’s doctor.

When the facelift episode aired on March 28, 1984, it was a milestone moment for The Young and the Restless. “We had 52 percent of the viewing audience of television that day … the highest ratings that CBS has ever had.
