That’s the show that flashes to mind when I hear her name. She was a great character actress. RIP

My wife got hooked on the Hallmark Christmas Special “Call Me Mrs. Miricle”.

She’ll be sad to hear the news.

In an interview on the DVD with the shows, she said she had a great time with the part.

I understand she was a big lib and there might’ve been friction between her and Patricia Heaton on “Raymond”. (Who knows if it’s true... just something I’d read once.)

RIP, Doris Roberts.

Don’t watch much TV but we do watch reruns of “Everybody Loves Raymond” and she was great as Marie Barone.

I saw an interview with her many years ago. I think it was while she was still on “Remington Steele”.

You are correct. She was very far to the left which I guess is not that uncommon in the industry. Still I never cared for her as much after seeing that.

She was great as Brick’s teacher on The Middle, too.
