Subject: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.......

For any fans of days of our lives, the lady who played Marie Horton has passed away aged 65.

Lanna Saunders, actress and wife of actor Lawrence Pressman died at the
age of 65 in Sherman Oaks, CA due to complications of Multiple Sclerosis.

Born in New York City, Ms. Saunders was the third generation of a family
of actors and the daughter of Nicholas Saunders, who died last August at
the age of 92. She began her career on Broadway at 13, where she
appeared in Sunrise at Campobello, then as the ingénue lead in Jerry
Herman's first Broadway hit, Milk & Honey and was original member of the
Lincoln Center Company under Elia Kazan and Robert Whitehead. It was
under Mr. Kazan's direction that she appeared in After The Fall by
Arthur Miller.

She had an extensive TV and film career, but was perhaps best known for
her role of Roz Kraft in the film Body Heat and as Sister Marie in the
daytime drama, Days of Our Lives.

Ms. Saunders is survived by her husband Lawrence and son David Pressman
as well as her mother and brother, jazz pianist Theo Saunders.
