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 remember her in many roles but the one that stood out in my mind was her role as the horrible daughter-in-law of Big Daddy from Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. When you want to bytch slap that character that shows how good her acting was. RIP Ms. Sherwood......
