[DonaldsRump]

1. RIP....what a wonderful star she was! n/t

[gopiscrap]

2. agreed and also a great person

[dawg day]

24. Oh, I always loved Rose Marie

She had a dry but sharp humor, and often came up with the line that really typified the situation's absurdity.

[shenmue]

3. Rest in peace

She was on Twitter up until recently.

5. "It's a quarter to three, there's no one in the place ...

... so stick 'em up."

Rest in peace, sweetie.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Oh no! She was wonderful!

[Irish_Dem]

13. Thanks for posting!

Great performance.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. She was a real talent on that show - they all were!

That was one amazing cast!

[Irish_Dem]

48. Yes great cast, writing, acting.

All came together to make a great series.

[Rhiannon12866]

49. And, unlike most "sitcoms," that one is still relevant and very watchable today

I loved that CBS showed the hour special on Christmas Eve - it was just the original episodes. I tuned in!

[Irish_Dem]

50. Oh I missed that, maybe I can get it online...

Yes any work of art that stands the test of time is genius, and a classic.

I still laugh when Dick Van Dyke almost falls over the ottoman in the opening scenes...

[Rhiannon12866]

51. They showed the original "I Love Lucy" Christmas Special (colorized)

Followed by a couple of "Dick Van Dyke Show" episodes for the next hour. I do believe they're available online. And Netflix. When I'm visiting someone who has Netflix, the shows I watch are Dick Van Dyke and Andy Griffith.

[Irish_Dem]

52. I will look on Netflix. I am a "I love Lucy" fan too. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

53. There are a lot of shows available, but I usually choose "Dick Van Dyke"

Nick at Nite use to show "I Love Lucy," now it's on Hallmark - several episodes very early in the morning on weekdays.

[Irish_Dem]

54. I watch everything online these days....

[Rhiannon12866]

56. There are a whole lot of shows available online now

When I've been visiting, we watched The Odd Couple and The Waltons - which were new to me since I never saw them first run. When I was in college, I used to watch The Untouchables on the local station weeknights, so my brother got me the series on DVD for my birthday.

[Irish_Dem]

62. I didn't know the old shows were online. I have to look for them.

Loved the Odd Couple and the Waltons.

Nice gift from your brother.

[roamer65]

7. RIP, Rose Marie.

You will be missed.

[GP6971]

8. I was recently looking up

old TV shows to see who was still alive and I was surprised that she was. Guess I should stop doing that.

RIP

[rpannier]

20. I found a list of Golden Age Actors and Actresses still with us

I'm surprised at the numbers that are still (as my late grandmother would say) still alive and kicking
Julie Gibson (1913) Olivia de Havilland, Kirk Douglas, Nehemiah Persoff (I was surprised he was still alive), Norman Lloyd, Sono Osato and Norma Miller

A lot born in the 20's and 30's are still around

[montana_hazeleyes]

42. It was a short time ago

that Kirk Douglas turned 101.

[irisblue]

45. Betty White, age 95

[boston bean]

9. Makes me sad.

[skylucy]

10. I loved her on the Dick Van Dyke Show.

[Kingofalldems]

12. Very sad news

R-I-P Rose Marie

[Irish_Dem]

14. Great actress in a wonderful TV show. nt

[Ken Burch]

16. Dick Van Dyke and Carl Reiner are the only survivors from that show now.

n/t.

[BHDem53]

23. And Larry Mathews.

[YOHABLO]

17. She had quite an entertainment history before the Dick Van Dyke series.

[rpannier]

18. Started when she was 5 on the radio

She said she owes part of her success to Capone and Siegel, which I find interesting
She worked with and knew so many unique people, like WC Fields

[bucolic_frolic]

19. OMG I remember that

black & white tv, mom and dad would laugh in all the right places, it was a time of great innocence

[mdbl]

21. RIP and thanks for the entertainment

She was always fun to watch.

[johnp3907]

22. I just saw the documentary about her a couple weeks ago,

At the end words came up saying she’s 94 and lives with her dog Bailey. Then it said: ”She’s waiting for her next job.”



A really wonderful movie. http://www.rosemariemovie.com/

[LiberalLovinLug]

25. Rose Marie and Carl Reiner were ahead of their time

Their show ran for about the exact same time period that a show like Mad Men is set in. He didn't hesitate to add a dominant female co-writer character working with Buddy and Rob. I remember that stuck out to me as a kid from a traditional conservative family where the woman's place is in the home.

[AmandaRuth]

27. yes! This!

feminist before it was a word. I'm wearing a black bow in my hair tonight.

[underpants]

28. Yes it was unusual. BUT she was preceded by "Ellie Walker" on the Andy Griffith show

Ellie was the first professional woman in American Tv.

Ellie was on from October 1960 to May 1961. The Dick Van Dyke show ran from October 1961 to June 1966.

[ProfessorGAC]

55. Um. . ."Our Miss Brooks" Ran from 1952 to 1956

She was a high school teacher, which is a professional gig.

The run of the show, which was a radio show prior to the TV version, ENDED the year i was born.

[underpants]

57. Not familiar

Yes teachers are of course professionals but besides teachers and nurses there hadn't been a woman with another degree on TV until Ellie.

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Yeah, I Can See That

Here's the weird thing though: While "lady druggists" (the way Emma referred to Ellie), were rare, our family knew a well to do southern italian immigrant family (dad from italy, daughters born here). There were BOTH pharmacists and owned their own drug store.

Knew them since i was a little kid, so a "lady druggist" wasn't that big a deal to me. So, when i saw Ellie as a pharmacist on TV, i probably thought nothing of it.

26. A sad bookend to a lousy year

Mary Tyler Moore passing away in January & now Rose Marie in December. RIP to two great ladies.

[underpants]

30. :-(

[AmandaRuth]

29. RIP to my first

female role model that I can remember. As a small one, I can remember how much I admired a working TV writer career woman

[JenniferJuniper]

31. Here she is in 1929

[appalachiablue]

40. Baby Rose-Marie performing in 1929, I had no idea. Wonderful lady, thanks.

[montana_hazeleyes]

44. Wow ! Amazing.

What a talented person she was.

[Rhiannon12866]

46. Wow! Great find! Thanks for posting!

[bdamomma]

32. oh

I loved her on the Dick Van Dyke show, I loved her smile. RIP

[Honeycombe8]

33. I hate to hear this. My goodness, she must've been old. She's been a star since the the 30s, I think

She was a child star.

[marybourg]

37. Called "Baby Rose Marie". My mother continued to call

her that for decades.

[Honeycombe8]

39. Baby Rose Marie...here's a video from 1929...

not too clear, and she sure looks different. But I can see some familiar expressions she still had on the Dick Van Dyke show. And a very strong voice. She must be about 5 here.

[marybourg]

41. Thanx. Brought tears to my eyes.

[blogslut]

34. A trooper to the very end.

I dug her.

[pamela]

35. How sad. I've been following her on Twitter.

About a month or two ago, she posted one of those "I'm trying to get to XXXX? followers..." posts, so I followed her. I've actually really enjoyed her posts-lots of interesting photos from her past. She just posted a 6 hours ago.

[BigBearJohn]

36. SO SAD ... Loved her. May she rest in peace.

Thanks for the beautiful memories.

[meow2u3]

38. I loved her on the original Hollywood Squares

Oh, no!

[smirkymonkey]

43. So sad! I loved her!

She was a true star. RIP Rose Marie.

[Rhiannon12866]

47. Rose Marie & Morey Amsterdam talk about the Dick Van Dyke Show

[librechik]

59. RIP--maybe she's on the same bus as Mary Tyler Moore.

Their names will forever be linked because 2017.

[Faygo Kid]

60. She was a Facebook friend for years. Alert to the end.

She left us beautifully and peacefully, as well she should have.

61. requiscat in pace and thanks for so many smiles
