She would have been 99 this year...she did a great job keeping Danny in line.

I'm thinking the only regulars still alive are Sherry Jackson, Angela Cartwright, and Pat Carroll.

Unfortunately you are right!

She- as well as EVERYONE on the show was very good at shouting their lines ... LOL - as must have been required for the microphones to pick up their voices

same on many other 50's shows as well

she carried herself well !

A little over 2 years later, still true, I think. Except Marjorie now would have been 101!

I think the loudest shouter on this multi-cam sitcom was Danny himself, followed by Uncle Tonoose. The other notable multi-cams from that era were I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners--a lot of shouting on those, too. Probably due to playing in front of an audience.
