Anthony Geary, the Emmy Award-winning actor known for his role as Luke Spencer on the soap opera «General Hospital», - passed away on December 14, 2025, at the age of 78. His death occurred three days after a scheduled surgery, and the cause was complications that arose during the procedure.
Geary’s husband, Claudio Gama, told TV Insider on December 15 that it was a shock for him, their family, and friends.
«For over 30 years, Tony was my friend, partner, and husband», - Gama added.
The publication Hollywood Life gathered five facts about Geary, his personal life, career, and tragic death.
Anthony Geary was born in Coalville, Utah, and grew up in a Mormon family. His father worked as a contractor, and his mother was a homemaker.
Geary studied at the University of Utah, where he was noticed for his stage charisma.
After landing the role of Luke on «General Hospital», - Geary’s career skyrocketed. Throughout the 1980s, he won a record eight Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
Geary also had a romantic relationship with Elizabeth Taylor. The late actress appeared on «General Hospital» as Helena Cassadine.
In a past interview on The Wendy Williams Show, Geary revealed that he and Taylor had a romance «for several years».
«I never talked about my relationship with Elizabeth Taylor because I’m a gentleman and don’t discuss my affairs», - Geary explained, according to several sources. «But she gave an interview a few years ago for Talk Magazine, where she admitted that we were more than friends… So, I don’t mind saying that. I was sort of her adult toy for a few years».
Geary also expressed disappointment that People magazine used a quote in which he allegedly claimed he had no relationship with Taylor.
«On the cover was my portrait, and under the headline it said: 'Anthony Geary seeks life after Luke… Admits his romance with Elizabeth Taylor was a hoax.' I never said that», - Geary insisted. «I said, 'No, we’re just friends.' Then Elizabeth called me and said, 'Tony? I heard you told People magazine that we didn’t sleep together. That’s the worst thing anyone has ever said about me.'»
Geary and his husband were together for 30 years before his death, Gama told TV Insider in December 2025. The couple met in 1995 and officially married in February 2019.
After retiring from show business, Geary and Gama moved to Amsterdam, where they spent the remainder of the late actor’s life.
Geary underwent an undisclosed surgery three days before his death. His death was caused by complications arising from that surgery, according to information from TV Insider
