DAYS alum Sally Kirkland fell and was rushed to the hospital during a radio appearance

Days of our Lives alum Sally Kirkland (ex-Tracey Simpson) took a serious fall during a radio appearance and had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery.

A radio appearance by Sally Kirkland (ex-Tracey Simpson, Days of our Lives) ended on a sour note when the Oscar-nominated actress took a tumble and was rushed to the hospital.

The seventy-six-year-old was recording on John Fugelsang's SiriusXM show on Wednesday when she fell and hit her knee and face, reports TMZ. She suffered multiple lacerations (including some on her face) that were so bad, she had to have surgery rather than stitches.
