Jeanne Cooper is best known for her role on The Young and the Restless as Katherine Chancellor, who is widely considered as the matriarch and wealthy pillar of Genoa City. Word on the street, however, is that she'll soon be wreaking havoc on Genoa City as she plays her character's evil double.

Back in 1990, Cooper played Marge Catrooke, Kay's look-alike who was a waitress with dubious morals.  Clint Radison (James Michael Gregary) found and brought Marge to Genoa City in an attempt to take over all that the Chancellor name had to offer.  According to TV Guide, Marge will be making yet another appearance on The Young and the Restless after 18 years since we last saw her.

As of this moment, there hasn't been an official statement from CBS regarding the return of Marge. Nevertheless, it has been hinted that the network plans to bring Kay's dead ringer back on the canvas this fall, just in time for Cooper's 80th birthday celebration on October 25.

Cooper joined The Young and the Restless in November 1973 and though she was not on the series when the soap premiered in March of that year, she remains the longest-tenured actor on the daytime drama.  For her role as Katherine Chancellor, she has received nine Daytime Emmy nominations, eight for Outstanding Lead Actress and one for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and two Primetime Emmy nominations.  She has also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Daytime Emmys in 2004 and won the 2008 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.  Out of her eight nominations for lead actress, this was her first win in the category.  As for her for her contributions to television, Cooper received a star on the Hollywood W.lk of Fame, which is located at 1777 Vine Street.
