Singer Rick Springfield who at one point also famously starred in General Hospital briefly in the 80s shared some words about the late actress, expressing his sadness at her passing.

“Incredibly stunned and broken-hearted to hear of Jackie’s passing. Such a truly kind soul with no touch of the diva and only sweet things to say about everyone. She was the one (along with Gloria Monty) who helped launch my 80s career when after the screen test along with several other hopeful young men Gloria asked Jackie who she thought would make a good Noah Drake and God bless her if Jackie didn’t say me,” Springfield shared. “Love to your spirit as it ascends sweet girl. You left your mark on many of us and you will not be forgotten,” he said.
