Meredith Baxter – 73

Breast cancer is a woman’s worst nightmare, and as we are all people, after all, it is a phenomenon observed in celebrity women as well. One of this illness’ victims is Meredith Baxter, an American actress best known for her roles in the drama series Family, and the Family Ties sitcom.

Thankfully, it is reported that she has managed to effectively fight off her condition, and even if she has retired since 1999 from the film industry, she can breathe again and live the life she wished for.
