With Valerie Harpers death at 80 today, it looks like Julie Kavner ( Brenda) is the last surviving regular cast member from the show. Everyone else has passed away:
Rhoda
Ida
Martin
Joe
Gary
Jack Doyle
Carlton
Sally
Ramon
Guest characters Susie, Myrna, Benny and Johnny Venture are still with us.
So many are gone. I hadn't realized it was that many cast members.
Scoey Mitchell, Joe's work partner from the first season is still around at 89. And Barbara Sharma, the hot pants Mryna Morganstein, is still alive. But they were only regulars in the first season or two.
I was really shocked when Gary Levi, Ron Silver, died so young. I never appreciated his character during the initial run of the show. But I found him to be hilarious when I bought the DVDs.
