APS members may think of her primarily as playing Mallory Archer in 'Archer'.

Sad. I'm sure it wasn't her only role, but she was really great in AD.

Gee, I actually remember her playing Chief Amy Prentiss in the old Raymond Burr IRONSIDE series. Pretty good role, in a early womens' lib era. She played a tough female chief, promoted amongst some nasty internecine political pultroonery in the SFPD after the death of the sitting chief. Tough but not the (as Rush Limbaugh used to say) FemiNazi type.
I don't recall her subsequent roles, but then, from what I read in the obit I never followed those shows.

"Grand Prix" in '66 with James Garner.
"Play Misty for Me" in '71 with Clint Eastwood.

Multiple episodes of "The Love Boat" from '69-'73 & '78-'85, as well as innumerable TV shows starting in 1961.
