ParticipantDiana Webster, who played Shane Donovan’s ISA partner Miss Peach from 1985-1986, has died. Webster’s death had not been reported anywhere online, but her name was just found in a Screen Actors Guild Magazine memorial list. Webster died October 19, 2010 at the age of 86.
Webster was born Diana Collins on October 11, 1924. She acted from the 1960s to the 1990s. Her first TV appearance was in 1970 on "Get Smart." Throughout her career, she made appearances on many shows, including "The Waltons", "Quincy", "The Jeffersons", "Fame", "Dynasty" and "Empty Nest." She also appeared in the feature film "The Karate Kid III."
Webster’s longest-running role was on "Days of Our Lives", where she played Shane Donovan’s partner, ISA Agent Lavinia Peach, from August 1985-May 1986. The role was later recast with Pamela Kosh. Webster’s last acting appearance was in "Murder, She Wrote" in 1992. She then retired from acting and moved to Pacific Palisades, California with her husband, award-winning television documentary writer/producer Nicholas Webster. They were married for 40 years until his death in 2006. Webster leaves no survivors.

ParticipantI thought she had died quite some time ago. It was sad because I always enjoyed her character and that meant she would never return to the part.
Did Pamela Kost die years ago and I’m confusing the actors?

ParticipantPamela Kosh is alive and well as far as I know. Diana Webster died 2 years ago, but last night was the first I heard of her death. I doubt you heard about Diana’s death in 2010, since it was not published anywhere that I know of. She’s still listed as living on IMDB, etc…

ParticipantI don’t know where I heard it but I positively remember reading somewhere that she had passed away.
I really loved her character.
