Did anybody see this episode a couple months ago that featured Gloria Henry? She played a character named Mary-Elizabeth Clinch. I'm glad to see she's still active.

I watched that episode and didn't even realize it was her! That's awesome that she's still getting acting gigs. :)

Last year (in August I believe) when Gloria reunited with Jay North and Jeannie Russell for an interview with KTLA-5 in Los Angeles (it's posted in 3 parts on YouTube) she said that the acting bug had struck her again (after a 20-year break). She also mentioned being inspired by Betty White.
I'm glad to see she did manage to follow up on that intent and find work. I hope we get to see more of her in the future. I'm afraid, however, her appearance in "Parks and Recreation" may have been cut. I saw the episode, but I couldn't see Gloria.
There was a scene with a room full of seniors and one of them addressed Amy Poehler's character. Judging by a promo still on IMDb the old man wasn't the only one in the crowd who spoke up (when they shot the scene), but he's the only one left in the final cut that aired.
Or did I indeed miss her?

Thanks for the info on the Youtube interview. I just watched it. Doesn't Gloria Henry look fantastic? She certainly doesn't look 89 (or 88 in that interview). For those who haven't seen it, here are the links:

About her appearance on Parks and Recreation, I didn't get to see that episode so I can't answer whether her part got cut out. All I know is she played a character named Mary-Elizabeth Clinch. Maybe Jack Gomez can answer that question.
Too bad Dennis the Menace was such a bad experience (and memory) for Jay North, which is clear from this interview from 1993: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-06-23/features/1993174166_1_jay-north-dennis-the-menace-north-hollywood

You know, I'm not entirely sure now if I saw her or not. I watched the whole season and I swear, I remember there being an episode with a group of senior citizens with an older lady speaking to Leslie Knope. :confused:
I wish networks would rerun their shows more often, then I'd know for sure.
