Markie Post passed away yesterday at the age of 70 from a nearly four-year battle with cancer, according to KABC.
Post is best known for playing Christine Sullivan on Night Court. She joined the show during its third season, but producers always knew they wanted her to be on the sitcom. However, she was attached to Fall Guy at the time. So when that show got the ax, she finally got her role of a lifetime.
Before appearing on Night Court, she started behind the camera on game shows. Eventually, the beauty made the transition to be in front of it and guest-starred on several classic shows like The Incredible Hulk, Greatest American Hero, CHiPs, and Hart to Hart.
After the ’80s sitcom, she worked with John Ritter on Hearts of Fire and played a mom on the big and little screen in There’s Something About Mary, Scrubs, and Chicago PD.
Cancer did not slow her down, and she continued doing what she loved until the pandemic happened.
Today, let’s honor the woman who was beautiful on the inside as the outside by laughing with her.
