Ms Foray also guest starred in The Simpsons’ pilot episode. Her last credit was in 2014, indicating that that must have been around the point where her health would have been deteriorating beyond no return. May she rest in peace.
she certainly lived a long full life, perhaps the ability to have fun in her work was really good for her health!
Ah the childhood memories. Loved that show. “..but that trick never works!” RIP
