Brock Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 R.I.P. Millie. From the AP: Ann Morgan Guilbert, beloved as the next-door neighbor on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and seen recently on CBS' comedy "Life in Pieces," has died. Guilbert died of cancer in Los Angeles on Tuesday, her daughter Nora Eckstein said. She was 87. Recent TV appearances included "Getting On" and a guest shot on "Grey's Anatomy." She was a regular on the 1990s sitcom "The Nanny," and played Millie Helper on the acclaimed "Van Dyke" comedy in the early 1960s. Guilbert had extensive theater credits, including the 2005 Broadway play, "The Naked Girl on the Appian Way," and productions of "The Matchmaker," ''Arsenic and Old Lace" and "Harvey." She was married twice. After her marriage to producer-writer George Eckstein ended in divorce, she married actor Guy Raymond, who died in 1997. http://www.cortezjournal.com/article/20160615/AP/306159778/Ann-Morgan-Guilbert-co-star-on-'The-Dick-Van-Show'-dies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I am so sorry for hear this. Ann is one of my all time favorite character actors. She made Millie Helper into a brilliant comedic character. I was thrilled that she had such a critically acclaimed hit with Please Give a few years ago. She deserved it. I was hoping she would be a frequent presence on Life in Pieces next season, but it's great that she was working and in demand right until the very end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chedderchester Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Loved her as Grandma Yetta on The Nanny. I saw a few episodes of Dick Van Dyke that she was in. They even made quite a few references to it on The Nanny, even a parody fantasy of it--which Anne wasn't even in, and she joked about it years later.

(The Palisades is a beautiful area on the westside of LA near the coast, close to Brentwood (Bets!; Phyllis Diller etc.), Santa Monica (Valerie Harper) and Malibu.... Was she married?? I know so little about her personal business... Thanks for sharing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
