Members DRW50 Posted April 16, 2019 Members Share Posted April 16, 2019 So sad. I loved Georgette. She was so sweet and kind, and unlike most sitcoms today that would have thought it was so funny and "edgy" to have her become a harridan, she remained sweet and kind to the end. Georgia just had a radiance to her. I guess it must have been sudden, as she had a brief role on One Day At a Time last year and looked about the same as she has for a while. I hope she knew how many fans she had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 16, 2019 Members Share Posted April 16, 2019 She was so effortlessly lovable. Variety mentioned she was a Christian Scientist, so that probably had something to do with the suddenness of her death. Good to know she was working as long as she could.

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 16, 2019 Members Share Posted April 16, 2019 Not only was she wonderful as Georgette, she was hilarious as Shirley Burleigh on Coach. I loved the episode where Howard and Shirley are driving Hayden and Christine insane, trying to be their best friends. "Pardon me for yelling!" she chirped in that famous baby voice. It still cracks me up all these years later. Hard to believe that she's the second Coach performer we've lost in recent weeks, after Katherine Helmond. It's also hard to believe that she was in reality young enough to play Ted Knight's daughter and instead played his wife (they were nearly 25 years apart in age). The age gap didn't seem noticeable at all when watching them onscreen together. May she rest in peace. She was one of a kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 17, 2019 Members Share Posted April 17, 2019 I hope the Sundance Channel, FETV and the other stations that rerun TMTMS air the best Georgette episodes as a tribute to Ms. Engel. Here is a beautiful article about her and her contributions to classic TV: https://www.google.com/amp/s/decider.com/2019/04/16/georgia-engel-mary-tyler-moore-show-legacy/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted April 18, 2019 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2019 And I forgot about freakin’ Cloris Leachman at 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 18, 2019 Members Share Posted April 18, 2019 So did I!!! Shame on us. Though to be fair, Cloris wasn't on much during the time Georgia became a regular and left altogether not too long afterwards (and had the Phyllis spinoff).
