Katherine Helmond, the seven-time Emmy-nominated Texas actress who played the feisty, man-crazy mother Mona Robinson on the long-running ABC sitcom Who’s the Boss?, has died. She was 89.
Helmond, who earlier starred as the wide-eyed socialite sister Jessica Tate on another popular ABC comedy, Susan Harris’ daytime-serial spoof Soap, died Feb. 23 of complications from Alzheimer’s disease at her home in Los Angeles, her talent agency, APA, announced.

“Soap” was my favorite show of hers. Absolutely hilarious.

Loved Danza on that show.
Saw the boy growing up to be a fruit from a thousand miles away.
She was very good in her role.

SOAP was one of the funniest shows ever made.
Connecticut was never the same after the Tates and Campbells.
RIP.

I thought she had already gone ‘toward the light’ a long time ago. She had great comic timing.

Just re-watched her in “Brazil”.
She was great, but I grew up with her on “Soap”.

One of the best ever. My first older woman crush.

And let's not forget Alfred Hitchcock's Family Plot. She was in movies that were directed by my two favorite directors of all time, Alfred Hitchcock and Terry Gilliam (Brazil/Time Bandits).
