Elinor Donahue on "Get a Life"

I'm watching "Get a Life" ('90-'91) on Tubi. Elinor Donahue is goofball Chris Elliott's mother. She's absolutely gorgeous at 53-54.
It's a wild show and so is her character with some outrageous comments. The episodes are either hilarious or dreadfully bad. Wonderful seeing her though.
