That is awful news. She is one of my favourite actresses from the 70’s and 80’s. Rhoda was simply a classic character and Valerie imbued her with such spirit and humanity and so so funny.
Very sad.
People are so brave, and determined to battle, as they face the end.Good on you ms harper.Maybe my favorite 1/2 hour of tv..chuckles the clown episode..shucked to death by an elephant dressed as peter peanut..could have been worse..coulda gone as billy banana and been peeled to death by a monkey..classic.
How sad, that’s terrible news, always loved her in the TV show “Valerie” and a whole host of 70’s and 80’s made for TV movies. Our thoughts will be with her.
