Madeleine Sherwood performed Tennessee Williams dramas on stage and screen, and worked with legendary film director Elia Kazan. Her Broadway roles included The Crucible, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Camelot — roles that any actor would envy.
However, the Quebec native is perhaps best known for running a convent of nuns in Puerto Rico on television. For three seasons, Sherwood portrayed Reverend Mother Superior Placido on The Flying Nun, the charming, quirky 1960s sitcom that sent Sally Field soaring to a new level of stardom.
As reported in The Hollywood Reporter, Sherwood has died at the age of 93.

I know! Was following the election on YouTube and totally focused on the Mother Superior part and missed the rest!

Dumbass headline called her “mother superior”
She was always “Reverend Mother”
RIP to a great character actress

Ditto that.
It might be just me though. It seems that in the past two months the passing of a number of entertainment personalities seems to be increasing. I shall always remember the piercing voice of the Reverend Mother as she got the attention of the flying num.
Sister Bertrille
She certainly reached a considerable age, bless her.
To: ShivaFan
it was good and I am a Catholic.
