Ann Morgan Guilbert, Millie on 'Dick Van Dyke Show,' Dies

Ann Morgan Guilbert, beloved as the next-door neighbor on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and seen recently on CBS' comedy "Life in Pieces," has died.

Guilbert died of cancer in Los Angeles on Tuesday, her daughter Nora Eckstein said. She was 87.

Recent TV appearances included "Getting On" and a guest shot on "Grey's Anatomy." She was a regular on the 1990s sitcom "The Nanny," and played Millie Helper on the acclaimed "Van Dyke" comedy in the early 1960s.

Guilbert had extensive theater credits, including the 2005 Broadway play, "The Naked Girl on the Appian Way," and productions of "The Matchmaker," ''Arsenic and Old Lace" and "Harvey."

She was married twice. After her marriage to producer-writer George Eckstein ended in divorce, she married actor Guy Raymond, who died in 1997.

That is what I have seen on Facebook but haven't seen details, either case it has been interesting how long she lived even after the Nanny ended.

Wikipedia always posts the obituary notice first, so I am guessing IMDB is slower in processing their own statistics?

Either, or...I loved Grandma Yetta -she was a hoot!

She was hysterical! Really convincing at playing a woman much older.

Wikipedia has always been a site that people can go and edit at any time, like say if a person dies the would have a page on their, and they really don't check it out where imdb.com has to really wait and get it on a news source, or so they might not even be aware of it right away.
