Frances Reid, Days of Our Lives' matriarch, dies at 95 LOS ANGELES Frances Reid, who was the last original cast member of "Days of Our Lives" and portrayed the soap opera's matriarch, Alice Horton, for 42 years, died Wednesday.

She was 95. In announcing her death, NBC called Reid "a true icon of the daytime No other details regarding her death were provided. -born Reid was. already a veteran of Broadway when she debuted in the premiere of "Days of Our Lives" on Nov. 8, 1965.

She made her final appearance in 2007. Familiar with the demands of daily, live television after appearing on the soaps "As the World Turns" and "The Edge of Night," Idaho prison chief: More cuts will slam prisons By Simmi Aujla Associated Press writer BOISE Idaho's prisons director told legislators Friday that more budget cuts will jeopardize safety in the state's 13 lockups. Department of Correction chief Brent Reinke told the Legislature's budget committee that prisons are already severely understaffed. He said the department will maintain furloughs and cuts from the last fiscal year, but paring even deeper would put the prisons at risk. "We want you to understand we're going to carry your wishes out to the best of our ability," he told the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee, which is looking to trim $59 million from the state's budget.

"But we are on the edge. We simply cannot continue to do more with Idaho spends an average of $57 per inmate per day, far less than many other states. But the state's financial oversight office reported in January that the system's efficiency could put its safety and security at risk. Employees at the agency have already taken about 80,000 unpaid furlough hours, and 44 positions have been cut in fiscal year 2010. Correctional officers, who each oversee about 50 inmates, are already each taking 28 furlough hours off this year.

Reinke told The Associated Press after the session that he is concerned about violence inside prison walls. "It's an action-packed environment," he said. "It's a concentration of what's happening on the streets. That's why we have to have certain posts filled." A legislative forecasting committee has recommended cutting an extra $59 million from Gov. C.L.

"Butch" Otter's fiscal year 2011 budget starting in July. The budget committee must now look for savings from the Department of Correction and other state agencies. The governor has recommended the Department of Correction receive $178 million. Reinke's budget for 2010 was cut by $27 million, or 14 percent, to $169 million, from his original 2009 spending plan. As an example of the impact of a further budget cut, Reinke said losing even $5 million from the $178 million would mean releasing 250 inmates from Idaho prisons.

Since the department doesn't have the authority to do that, the. Legislature would have to initiate that process. Budget -fueled decisions have caused some problems in the past. In a cost- -cutting move in January 2009, for instance, the department brought back prisoners who had been shipped to private prisons in Texas and Oklahoma due to overcrowding in Idaho. The return was enabled, in part, by the addition of nearly 1,400 prison beds in recent years and efforts to cut inmate growth.

But inmates who were already at the Idaho State Correctional Institution near Boise were displaced to new, temporary quarters in a converted warehouse that didn't suit their fancy. They wreaked havoc, breaking furniture, shattering windows and starting a small fire. "We walk a fine line between efficient and ineffective government," Reinke said.

By Valerie J. Nelson Los Angeles Times Reid was hesitant to take the part on "Days!" But roles for women over 40 were hard to come by, so she finally decided to accept the role, according to an NBC biography. She agreed to do the show "just for a short while," Reid said decades later. "But I found it very and I was having fun." Her character was a housewife and longtime hospital volunteer.

She once aided a prison escape by drugging doughnuts, a homemade baked good that was her specialty and often integral to her plot lines. In true soap fashion, the Horton matriarch was thought to have been killed off a doughnut played a role in 2004 but was found alive two months later. Reid had "a very sharp and cunning wit," the show's executive producer, Ken Corday, told the Hollywood Reporter in 2005. "In the old days, she might go up and forget a line, and the things that would come out of her mouth would kill the crew. We'd have to take five while they howled." She was born Dec.

9, 1914, in Wichita Falls, Texas, to Charles William Reid, a banker, and his wife, the former Anna May Priest, and grew up in Berkeley. After studying acting at what was then called the Pasadena Community Playhouse, Reid appeared in more than a dozen plays on Broadway, playing Ophelia in "Hamlet," Roxane in "Cyrano de Bergerac" and Viola in "Twelfth Night" in the late 1940s. In the early day of television, she reprised the role of Roxane, again opposite Jose Ferrer, in a TV adaptation of "Cyrano" that aired as an episode of "The Philco Television Playhouse." In 1954, she took her first part on a TV soap opera, playing the title character in "Portia Faces Life" but quit after six months because she found the workload "exhausting," according to the Web site Soap Opera Central. Before joining "Days," Reid had roles on about 30 TV shows and later appeared in the 1966 film "Seconds" with Rock Hudson and the 1971 movie "The Andromeda Strain." While on a photographic safari in Africa about 20 years ago, Reid had a stroke that left her partially paralyzed. She returned to "Days" after achieving a near -complete recovery.
