Doctor Detroit – she played the mother of Dan Ackroyd.
She was brilliant as Mrs Louder in The Drew Carey Show (one of my all time favourite shows). I also remember her role in the movie Shallow Hal as the nurse at the hospital that Gwyneth Paltrow’s character Rosemary volunteered at.
Gee I thought she was around 80 when she was in The Drew Carey Show and that would’ve been 10-15 years ago
She was good in that show
I remember her from the golden girls I think she played a neighbour that nobody liked
Wow there have been a lot of deaths recently, especially in the tv world of the United States. I most remember Nan Martin from her Golden Girls guest star as the cranky neighbour who prevents a gorgeous tree from staying alive, and Rose (Betty White) berates her in an uncharacteristic display of fire in the belly. She tells her to drop dead – and she does! Ms Martin was a great meanie!
Damn… she played a great bitchy evil boss on that show. Made me laugh.
Larry is now free!!!
