“We are deeply saddened to say farewell to our beautiful, soulful, and hilariously funny client, Jill Jacobson,” Padua expressed in a statement to EW. “Jill was a vibrant actress with comedic timing reminiscent of the Marx Brothers and possessed a classic Hollywood glamour that harkened back to its golden era.”

Jacobson’s acting journey began in 1977 with the lead role in “Nurse Sherri,” a budget horror film. She later starred in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Days of Our Lives,” “Castle,” “Hung,” “Newhart,” and “Who’s the Boss?”
