As it happened, noted Time, ABC's "Wide World of Sports" aired a highlight package of Comăneci's most memorable gymnastic routines, using "Cotton's Dream" as musical accompaniment. However, the song gained a whole new level of popularity thanks to Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci, who took the 1976 Olympic games by storm when she became the first gymnast in Olympic history to earn a perfect 10.0 score from the judges. In fact, recalled CBS Watch, the song was originally titled "Cotton's Dream" - and wasn't written for "Y&R," but for the 1971 film "Bless the Beasts and Children." The mournful piano tune then found a second life two years later when it was enlisted to open "Y&R." Fittingly, Bernsen guest starred as Father Todd, the priest officiating Katherine's service. Katherine's death was eventually revealed to viewers, reported Today, with her memorial service airing that September. Speaking with TV Guide (as reported by TVLine), "Y&R" exec producer Jay Farren Phelps revealed that episodes had already been written into July, "so it will take some time before we can address departure on air." During the interim, she explained, scripts noted that Katherine and her husband were traveling. According to Soap Opera Digest, Cooper taped her final scene on March 26, but it didn't air until May 3 - just five days before her death. Because episodes of "The Young and the Restless" don't air until about six weeks after they're shot, Cooper's character, Katherine Chancellor, had recently undergone successful surgery to remove a brain tumor. As Entertainment Weekly reported, her son, actor Corbin Bernsen, took to social media to confirm that she died on May 8, 2013. The following year, she was hospitalized due to an undisclosed ailment, and died within weeks.
