Per Deadline, Wilson’s disease is a rare genetic condition that “causes copper to accumulate in vital organs and can cause liver, brain and kidney problems.”
Williams, born Laura Lynn Williams, previously appeared on NYPD Blue, 7th Heaven, Scrubs, andNip/Tuck .
The former professional wrestler is best known for portraying the comedic Big Alice on GH, starting in 2002. When not working as a live-in maid, Big Alice hilariously moonlit as a pro wrestler under stage name The Dominator.
