During the '70s, there was a cohort of actresses who were, at the time, best known as game show panelists. There was Kitty Carlisle Hart on To Tell the Truth, Jaye P. Morgan on The Gong Show, Patty Deutsch on Tattletales and my favorite, Brett Somers on The Match Game. As a child of the 70's I thought she was awesome.
Unfortunately, Brett Somers has taken her Final Taxi. During Match Game's run in the 70's it featured regulars like Somers, Betty White,Richard Dawson and Charles Nelson Reilly.
She played in movies and television shows like"The Love Boat,’ ‘Barney Miller,’ and ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show.’ She also acted in Broadway along side Alice Ghostley.
She was 83.
