From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Late Chicago-born (either in 1920 or 1924), mostly comedic actress who began a very long career on stage, film and TV starting in the 1940s.
She appeared on the TV series Fish, which was a spin-off of Barney Miller, as Abe Vigoda's long-suffering wife, 'Bernice Fish'. She also appeared as an M.D. on the TV series Nurses, with her most serious moment being telling Adam Arkin's character that he has AIDS, and as a judge on My Two Dads.
Replaced Bea Arthur on Broadway in Fiddler on the Roof as 'Yente'. Appeared in, among many others, the movie version of Neil Simon's play The Prisoner of Second Avenue, as one of Jack Lemmon's sisters, who is near hysterical with worry about her brother who is going through a mid-life crisis.
