Rose Marie, who starred on ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show,’ dead at 94
She was number 177 on the list.
Rose Marie, the actress made famous for her role as Sally
Rogers on famed 1960 sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” has died at age 94.
The news comes from the star’s official Twitter account,
which announced on Thursday that she had passed at her home in Van Nuys
California.
“It is with broken hearts that we share the terribly sad
news that our beloved Rose Marie passed away this afternoon,” the statement
said.
Marie was a child star of the 1920s and 1930s who endeared
herself to TV fans on the classic '60s sitcom that featured Van Dyke and Mary
Tyler Moore.
The Film, TV and Broadway actress had one of the
longest-running careers in entertainment, according to the obituary on her
website.
After a career as a popular radio personality, Marie got her
big break performing in movies such as “International House” and “Big Broadcast
of 1935.” She was invited to be a headliner by Benjamin “Bugsy” Segal at the
Flamingo casino hotel in Las Vegas in 1946 before becoming a household name on “Dick
Van Dyke” in 1961.
From there, she moved on to “The Doris Day Show” and became
one of the longest regulars on “Hollywood Squares.”
She appeared in numerous movies as a child and starred in
the Broadway musical "Top Banana." She was nominated for three Emmys
and received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in 2001.
According to her website, when asked about retiring she
said, "I've been in show business my whole life. Why start something new
now?"
Carl Reiner, the creator of the "Dick Van Dyke
Show" tweeted about her passing.
"I was so sad to learn of the passing of
Rosemarie," he wrote. "There's never been a more engaging and
multi-talented performer. In a span of 90 years, since she was four, dear Rosie
performed on radio, in vaudeville, night clubs, films, TV, and Vegas and
always had audiences clamoring for "more!!"
