She also wrote for GL for a period of time in the mid 80's and has a writing Emmy for it. RIP - I often think character actors are the best actors in any medium...

RIP!

 

I do remember her as that malevolent teacher on Desperate Housewives. I don’t recall her earlier appearances but I don’t recall that episode in the last season where after Mike’s death MJ stepped attacked her and then Susan accidentally injured her further ending her teaching career all over the teacher being so callous.

Aww I thought she passed already for some reason. I remember her on Passions and always thought she looked like Marianne Muelleriele who played Norma.

I checked my Passions stats. So you can take away the "maybe."

 

Mary Pat Gleason (Bad Witch # 2) 8 episodes in 2007

I thought I saw that. That is when it was Miguel #2 was on

You’re right! She does look like Muelleriele(what a zany character she was and I remember she was doing a sitcom with Bonnie Hunt at the same time too!) . I was going to ask you who she was on Passions but I saw this: 

 

 

I didn’t bother with the show at that point so thanks for the info!! On the flip side I had no idea Judith McConnell ever appeared on Passions either as Bad Witch #1 lol looking back at those 2007 stats I found too.

LOL I think when Gleason came on as the "bad witch #2", I kept thinking "Isn't that Norma??

  such a canny resemblance, and even odder trivia both actresses were extras in the movie "Soapdish" who were fans of Sally Fields' Character.
