Doris Roberts passed away at the age of 90 yesterday according to TMZ. Even though she has been gracing our televisions since the ’50s, she is best known for a role she started playing 45 years later. That role is Marie, the tough but loving mother, on Everybody Loves Raymond. Her comedic timing on that show made it the classic it became while it was still on the air. But that was just one of her many roles, she also had some very memorable guest star roles on shows like All in the Family, Soap, Barney Miller, Alice, Full House, Lizzie McGuire, Hot In Cleveland, Desperate Housewives and Major Crimes to name a very few. She loved acting so much, she never stopped. She was still acting even though she just entered her 9th decade on this Earth.
So today honor her legacy and watch one of her many wonderful roles to keep her spirit alive. And make sure to watch at least one episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, so she can hear our laughter wherever she is now.
