From the July 8, 1988, edition of Daily Variety

Marsha Warfield had a hard act to follow on “Night Court”.

She joined the cast as bailiff Roz in the show’s fourth season, after the death of the inimitable Selma Diamond, the multifaceted actor and writer who played bailiff Selma. But Warfield made the role her own for the next six seasons.
