Candice Daly

Candice Mia Daly (January 4, 1963 - December 14, 2004) was an American film and television actress. In the late 1980s and early 1990s she starred in a number of B-movies and cult films such as After Death (1988) and Liquid Dreams (1991). She was at one time was engaged to one of her co-stars Brent Huff.. Perhaps the role which garnered her the widest audience was psychotic Veronica Landers on American soap opera The Young and the Restless from 1997 to 1998.

Work was scarce for Daly after she left The Young and the Restless, and she was found dead in a rundown Los Angeles apartment on December 14, 2004. The cause was listed as unknown even though drug abuse was suspected, but her boyfriend had said that he believes that she was a victim of foul play. The American tabloid The Globe claimed she had been fired from The Young and the Restless because of drug problems and was difficult to work with; Melody Thomas Scott blasted the report and stated to Soap Opera Weekly on behalf of the entire cast and crew of the show that Daly was a lovely, funny, very professional woman whom they had never had any problems with.
