Oh no.. Dont see her in many things but whenever she is in anything she has always been great.  One of my favorites had to be Judging Amy.  I really liked that show.

The statement says she is expected to make a full recovery. Could be anything from a heart attack to a breaking a bone.

They said that about OldWillz. He was dead in 3 months.

 

I hope she will be fine though. She's just great.

Seven of the Hill Street Blues main cast gone now, and half a dozen more in their 80s and late 70s. The youngest member is Megan Gallagher (b.1960), she could be the last survivor in a decade or so.

I refer the honourable Forum member to this handy list I posted years ago.
