And Judge Wilbur from Night Court, Ruth Woodbine on Cybill... she was a great character actress and will sorely be missed.

So many celebrities dying in the past few months.

Wasn't Florence Stanley also one of the voices on the short-lived Henson-produced show Dinosaurs?

Edit: An IMDB search shows my memory was correct. Can't believe I actually remember she was on that - I haven't seen that show since it was originally on, when I wads 9.

I haven't looked at IMDB yet and I knew that. Her voice was SO recognizable. Wasn't she also on "My 2 Dads" as a judge?

She was in one of my favorite movies (Trapped in Paradise). I loved the scene where the 2 mob huys through her in the trunk of the car for singing christmas carols and she kept belting them out

I remember her on Fish vididly. Maybe it was the voice.

She can also be seen in "Down With Love".

The guest character she played on Night Court, Judge Wilbur, proved so popular that they brought her over to My Two Dads in a more permanent role.

so the judge on My 2 Dads was the same char. as on Night Court? Neat.

She played another role on Night Court as a woman who kills her husband with a leg of lamb. She was a nasty neighbor lady on Malcolm in the Middle and she was quite touching on Mr. Belvedere as a lonely widow who wins the services of Mr. B for a day and proceeds to hold him hostage.
