Here is another link: Shelly Winters Passes (http://imdb.com/news/flash/)

Many of us on here remember her as Shirley Schrift, Ed's bakery gal. What was really interesting is that was her real name!

So sorry to hear about her. I guess she is reunited with Chico & Ed now. Rip...

So sorry to hear it...I loved many of her movies, most of which (apart from the Poseidon Adventure, in which she appeared with Jack also) I only discovered since seeing her on Roseanne--she was great a dramatic actress as well as very funny. Too bad she didn't get to show that more on CATM!

I never saw poseiden adventure but i loved her as Shirley Shriff and as the voice of crystal the snowman on winter wonderland, so i guess shirley and ed are back together and so are Frosty and Crystal.
she will be missed

Yes they played an older Jewish couple on the cruise. It was very sad when Shirley's character dies, Jack's character was very distraught.... so sad :crying:

She was a phenominal actress. I enjoyed all her movies. I remember her in a movie long ago where she played Mama. She had two sons and she was running away from the law with them. I forgot the name of this movie. :crazy:

I think that was Bloody Mama (http://imdb.com/title/tt0065481/) about Ma Barker and her sons.

It kinda funny to hear that. She played a Ma Barker type character when she was on Batman. Trivia here, there was a scene with a lot of water on the floor. It was said that while running on the floor, Shelly slipped and fell. Her back was never the same after the fall. :(
