I also remember Pat Carroll from her numerous game show appearances including You Don't Say and Password. She was also in the short-lived sitcom Getting Together, where she played Rita, the landlady of the apartment that Wes Stern and Bobby Sherman's characters lived. May she rest in peace.

She did a one-shot on My Three Sons in 1971, which was a failed backdoor pilot to continue Don Grady and Tina Cole in their own sitcom.

It was not picked up, and Don Grady left My Three Sons for the following season.

RIP.
