Rose Marie

 Rose Marie, born Rose Marie Mazzetta (August 15, 1923 – December 28, 2017)

She was an actress and veteran of vaudeville — with a career that ultimately spanned over nine decades and included film, radio, records, theater, night clubs and television. As a child performer, she had a successful singing career as Baby Rose Marie. As an adult, she became one of the first major stars to be known simply by her first names. She was widely known for her role on the CBS situation comedy The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966), as television comedy writer Sally Rogers, "who went toe-to-toe in a man’s world." Later she portrayed Myrna Gibbons on The Doris Day Show and was a 14-year panelist on the game show, The Hollywood Squares. Rose Marie performed on three 1966 and 1967 episodes of The Dean Martin Show variety series on NBC and also twice (1964 and 1968) on The Hollywood Palace on ABC. In the mid-1970s, she portrayed, in recurring fashion, Hilda, who brought fresh doughnuts, made coffee for the team, and provided some comic relief on the police drama S.W.A.T. In addition, Rose Marie appeared opposite Phil Silvers in the Broadway show Top Banana in 1951, also appearing in the 1954 film adaptation. From 1977 to 1985, Rose Marie co-starred with Rosemary Clooney, Helen O'Connell, and Margaret Whiting in the musical revue 4 Girls 4, which toured the United States and appeared on television several times. Rose Marie was married to trumpeter Bobby Guy from 1946 until his death in 1964. Rose Marie died on December 28, 2017, in Van Nuys, California, aged 94. She is buried at Glen Haven Memorial Park in Sylmar, California.
