Didn't she also play Miss Tisdale (the postmistress) on Dukes of Hazzard? I know she was one of the elderly protestors who picketed WKRP after they changed from elevator music to rock & roll. :lol:

I guess we should add Benson to this list - Caroline McWilliams (Marcy) passed on last week. Everyone else in the cast is still alive.

Not quite.

She's only the second cast member from Benson to pass away. The 1st cast member to pass was Billie Bird who played Rose Cassidy during the final 2 seasons of Benson.

The guy who place Robin Colcord on the show also died but I don't know if you'd consider him a major cast member

M*A*S*H Larry Linville, Maclean Stevenson, Harry Morgan

I knew he had died and I considered him but ultimately I felt he wasn't a "major cast member." Of the cast members, going by the opening credits, they're all still alive with the exception of Nicholas Colasanto.

Oh man. How could I have overlooked Andy Kaufman?

Oh man. How could I have overlooked Andy Kaufman?

Maybe you've just so accepted that he's been dead because it's been so long ago and no other cast member died in recent years except for Jeff Conaway and so Kaufman just slipped your mind. :)
