Ruth Warrick is perhaps most recognized in her role as Phoebe Tyler on All My Children, which she played for 35 years.

 

As a divorced mother looking for a steadier paycheck, Ruth Warrick joined the cast of All My Children in 1970 as Pine Valley’s matriarch Phoebe Tyler. Due to health issues in the 1990s her on-screen time was greatly reduced. Ruth’s final performance was in the show's 35th Anniversary episode which aired just 10 days before she died in January 2005.

 

In 1980, Warrick received a Soapy award, presented by Soap Opera Digest magazine. Soapy awards were given for the best work on American soap operas between 1977 and 1983. In 1984 the Soap Opera Digest Awards replaced the less lavish Soapy award.

 

In 1992, Warrick received a Silver Circle award, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Silver Circle was established to recognize individuals who have devoted 25 years or more to the television industry and have made meaningful and significant contributions to broadcasting and/or new media.

 

Ruth also received an Emmy® for Lifetime Achievement in 2004 and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960.
