Ellen Holly, the first Black actress to have a lead role in a U.S. soap opera, has died. She was 92.

Her role as Carla, which she held from 1968 to 1980 and 1983 to 1985, explored racial identity as it saw her character, who passed as white on-screen before revealing she was Black, in a love triangle with two doctors: one white and one Black.
