In a Facebook post, a “broken-hearted” Jeremy announced her death and remembered the impact that she had on his life.
“Thank you for being an unmovable rock that guided me through life. I will try to honour your memory for as long as I live,” he wrote.
Hubbard earned 11 Daytime Emmy nominations throughout her illustrious career.
Eight of the nominations came from her role as Lucinda Walsh on CBS’ As the World Turns, a psychological drama that follows the lives of professionals in a small Illinois town.
She stepped into the pivotal role in 1984 and stayed with the show until its final season in 2010.
Though she never scored a win for the role, she eventually won a Daytime Emmy for her memorable performance as Dr. Althea Davis on the NBC daytime soap The Doctors.
She appeared sporadically on the show from 1964 to 1982.
Hubbard celebrated a long career and earned her final nomination in 2016 for playing Eva Montgomery on the show Anacostia.
