For a second I thought she died of OISNB and was like damn wtf that sounds terrifying.

RIP though, rest easy up there.

Seems like the term "Celebrity" is being stretched rather thinly at times on the board...

Well she must be well enough known to have CNN and other news networks report on it...

She was the saleswoman in the bakery that sold marble rye in the seventh season. I know it cause I binged (as in searchengine bing, not bingewatch) it.

The small Seinfeld roles were her start on screen as I believe she was a theater actress in the 70s and 80s mostly.

The Rye episode and the one called The Dinner Party

Jason Biggs mother on OSTNB

On Law & Order SVU Where she had a recurring role as a judge
