Caren Bernsen, born August 1960 is the third child of Y&R star Jeanne Cooper.  It’s been reported her famous mother just lost her life after becoming ill due to an infection.

Caren’s mother married television producer Harry Bernsen, Jr. and they were together for twenty-three years before divorcing. The Bernsens had three children, all of whom are actors. Corbin Bernsen of L.A. Law fame born September 7, 1954; Collin Bernsen, born March 30, 1958; and Caren.

In Jeanne Cooper’s recent book released (on July 31, 2012) she makes it known that after their divorce she and ex-husband Harry Bernsen very rarely saw each other (only when family functions dictated) and they were not close or even friends before his death on May 31, 2008.
