I'm unaware of her politics but considering it is Hollywood, being left or far left is not surprising. I came across an episode of MTM a few nights ago on MeTV and she was a central figure in the episode.

I'm unaware of her politics but considering it is Hollywood, being left or far left is not surprising.

I can remember her in the earliest "positive" "gay" theme episode probably in t.v. history on MTM. I was completely oblivious as a child (thankfully) but in recent years, I became aware of this and was appalled. Phyllis's brother, a concert pianist, started hanging out with Rhoda, to Phyllis's horror, until Phyllis learns from Rhoda that her brother is "gay." Pretty bold and racy for the early 70's (homosexuality hadn't yet even been "declassified" as a mental disorder at that time.)
