I definitely remember her from Benson. Great old school show. Most of that cast has left us and 90 years is a nice, long life. May she R.I.P.

The unfortunate thing for those who only knew her from "Benson" is that it overshadowed the fact that she had a glorious singing voice that was showcased in the 1960s musicals "110 In the Shade" (with Robert Horton of "Wagon Train") and the Sherlock Holmes musical "Baker Street" where she was Irene Adler to Fritz Weaver's Holmes (the two later did "My Fair Lady" together at a Lincoln Center production).
