Dane Witherspoon of the hit soap "Santa Barbara" has passed away; he was 56. A Martinez was the one who broke the news Saturday on Facebook as they co-starred on the show, saying: "Dane passed this morning. People who watched Santa Barbara in its earliest days will remember him as Joe Perkins, a character to which he brought a quiet grace and deep, bittersweet sense of soul...Dane was a most compelling man, and it must have been very hard on him to drift away from the path he first imagined. We'd do well to hold his kin in our thoughts, and imagine them finding a way to make the most of the lessons of his life." Witherspoon was a SB original but was allegedly fired months in to production. He was also the ex-husband of SB co-star Robin Wright for two years in the eighties. She then went on to marry Sean Penn and is now prepping to wed Ben Foster. No cause of death has been given but we will let you know as soon as we do!
