Did y'all hear about Kathleen Freeman - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Kathleen Freeman played Noreen Grisbee, the secretary, in the last two episodes

#208 The Beginning of the End Part 1 and
#209 The Beginning of the Beginning Part 2

She died some time in the past year. I had not realized that. I found out last night when I was watching the Emmy's.

You know the part of where they show the pictures of the people who had died during the year, well they showed a shot of Kathleen when she was on Facts of Life.

Just wondering if anybody knew that she had died this year and when she died?

I did notice that!! I wasn't sure that the clip was from some show I knew... DUH! I don't know how she died, but she was known for secretary/maid/mail-lady/whatever minor role. She was in several films in the 1960s and 70s. Although she was never a "big" actress, she was easily recognized.

Man you're slow

I realized it right off the bat who she was. I recognized the scene and everything. I guess it's because I've seen those episodes a bunch.

Did you know that she died while playing Jeanette in The Full Monty on broadway? Not actually on stage, but sometime during the week. My friend saw her in that like a week before she died.

callmetootie · 11-05-2001, 06:25 PM

I saw The Full Monty in August, and Kathleen Freeman was in it. She was wonderful and will be missed alot. She was most known as playing the gang's side-kick in The Blues Brothers movies, and had a regular role in The Beverly Hillbillies.
