According to People, this is the second time Cohn has battled cancer. In 2017, she revealed that she'd had a five-year battle with breast cancer.
'I kept that secret for a long time, I've always been an optimist, but the cancer metastasised. It kept spreading and coming back. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then it would. And then I'd wait for another shoe to drop, and it would. I was frustrated and enraged. I couldn't control any of this. I couldn't fix it,' said Cohn as quoted by People.
Cohn was one of the stars of Facts of Life for its entire nine-season run from 1979-88. More recently, she co-starred opposite Kristen Wiig in Apple TV+'s Palm Royale. (ANI)
