The original and best Marge M. from "Promises, Promises" and a slew of TV work including "Fernwood Tonight."

RIP.

Oh, so sad. She was truly gifted as a light comedienne. Missy Hart in 9 to 5 was one of my favorite roles of hers. And, of course, 'Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman'.

Sad indeed. May she R.I.P. I loved her on IT'S A LIVING as well.

I loved Marian Mercer.
Say hello to Bea Arthur in Theatre heaven for me.
She loved you too.

I knew her first from "It's a Living" and the movie "Nine to Five." Only later did I learn of her past Broadway career.

I always enjoyed her performances.
