## Summary

Bree Williamson, the actor known for “One Life to Live” and “General Hospital”, has announced that her husband, animator and director Michael John Roberts, has died after a brief illness. The family said he died at their Los Angeles home on Wednesday, following a sudden diagnosis of glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Williamson said the family was heartbroken and taking time, while their statement reflected on the conversations and ordinary moments they had hoped to share. Roberts worked on “BoJack Horseman”, directed Comedy Central’s “TripTank” and had producer credits on several animated series.
