Gerald AnthonyGerald Anthony (July 31, 1951 - May 28, 2004) was an American actor. Born Gerald Anthony Bucchiarelli, the son of Italian immigrants had roles and appearances on many shows such as Another World and L.A. Law. He is most remembered for his role as Marco Dane on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live, a role he played from 1977 through 1986, and from 1989 until 1990, and on fellow ABC soap General Hospital in 1992 (where he won a Daytime Emmy for his work). Marco arrived in Llanview as a low-life pimp and pornographer who was only supposed to last for 8 days, but Anthony's offbeat look as well as his impassioned performances and electric chemistry with co-star Judith Light (Karen Wolek) made him such a fan favorite that only a few months after producers killed off Marco in 1978 they revealed the real victim was Marco's heretofore unknown brother, Mario Corelli. During his absences from daytime Anthony had many guest-starring roles on television and a recurring role as kind-hearted Father Pete Terranova on Wiseguy from 1988-1989. Anthony also directed an independent film, Twisted, and episodes of All My Children. He continued to appear sporadically in primetime; in early 2003 he played a bit part on As the World Turns; when asked why he had not returned to daytime sooner, he said "no one asked me." Anthony was married to OLTL co-star Brynn Thayer from 1981-1983, and they remained close friends. Anthony died on May 28, 2004. Soap Opera Digest reported his death as a suicide, but his family insisted his death was from a heart attack. External links Anthony, Gerald Anthony, Gerald Anthony, Gerald
