Another landmark of the small screen, popular from such shows as Mary Tyler Moore and the spinoff Rhoda, died at the age of 80 after a battle with cancer. :( :( :(

She will be missed by me and other fans of the show.

Any fans here, btw? Did you like the shows/dislike them/not know about them?

======================== ========================

Sad indeed. RP, Valerie.

If there is a heaven she is with Mary now, I hope.

(I forget...who else from those shows is still alive? I need to seriously update my mental list of actors/etc)

RIP Valerie and thank you for all that you gave us
