She also guest-starred in series like “Falcon Crest,” “Crazy Like a Fox,” “Dynasty,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Designing Women.” And she appeared on the big screen in “The Dead Pool” in 1988 and “8 Seconds” in 1993

Edwards was also the author of 2000 biography, “The Knife Thrower’s Assistant: Memoirs of a Human Target.” Most recently, she was residing in a converted church in Dallas.

Corabeth Godsey was one of a kind! I can imagine no other actress but Ronnie Claire Edwards as that character. She was perfection! I had only seen Ronnie Claire in two other series's. In The Heat Of The Night and a Dallas episode.

May she rest in peace
