David Lloyd, who not only wrote some of the greatest single episodes in TV sitcom history [Chuckles the Clown youtube], but consistently wrote hilariously, has died at 75. I especially loved a lot of his work on Frasier. With the death of Larry Gelbart (best known for M*A*S*H, but also a writer for the original [...]

She played Dottie Richards in two 1972 episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Katherine Romano on One Day at a Time from 1979 to 1984.
