Linda Porter, a character actress who appeared in dozens of TV series and feature films and was perhaps best known for her role as Myrtle in NBC’s "Superstore", died Wednesday after a long battle with cancer. She was 86.
Porter most recently was seen in her recurring role as Cloud 9 employee Myrtle Vartanian in the May 16 Season 4 finale. Myrtle had recently been rehired as new manager Amy’s (America Ferrera) assistant after being laid off in Season 3 and then brought back as a customer-greeting hologram.
“Linda wasn’t just hilarious, she was incredibly sweet, energetic and enthusiastic – working with her brightened everyone’s day,” executive produces/co-showrunners Gabe Miller and Jonathan Green said on behalf of the show’s cast and crew.
“We’re lucky to have been a small part of her long career. The Superstore family won’t be the same without her.”
