LOS ANGELES, March 6 (UPI) -- U.S. television icon Valerie Harper told People magazine she has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and likely has no more than three months to live.

Harper, 73, is best known for her portrayal of Rhoda Morgenstern on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and its spin-off, "Rhoda." She also headlined the sitcom "Valerie."

Thank you

Yes, it is really too bad about “gay”. Song writers loved it because it rhymed so well with so many words...day, may, say, way etc... Our high school choir director wanted to include a patriotic segment in a recent school program which included the song “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”. At first she wanted to change the “We’ll all feel gay” line to “We’ll all be glad” but at the last minute she changed it back.

As another poster has said, I also refuse to call homosexuals “gay”.

What I also remember about that show was there seemed to be one person in the audience (maybe it was a laugh track) that had a noticeable laugh which lasted longer than the usual reaction.

I think it’s preferable to dying suddenly, like in a car accident..no time for any goodbyes, closure..

...I don’t know...I’ve got atherosclerosis, and will likely develop a terminal cardiac issue somewhere along the line...I’d rather go with a heart attack than with a long lingering illness, like both my parents...my mother died of ovarian cancer, and when it started going bad, in the last two months, it went real bad...
...car accidents are another type of animal altogether, and makes no distiction between young and healthy and old and infirm...they are tragedies, pure and simple...
