My usual IMDb [link](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001340/). I cannot fathom the obits mentioning _WTB_ first and foremost. It’s _Soap_ all the way! Having _WTB_ on your resume is an embarrassment. Plus _Brazil_! Said she died due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease. But she still did a couple things quite recently. Earliest job listed in from 1955 but I think the real first TV job was on _Car 54 Where Are You?_ Another vote for the Pluto line as one of TV’s all time greatests. ---

Scrolling through her IMDB history to see what the most recent thing I saw her in, it was Brazil. Jesus, that was 35 years ago??? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rip-katherine-helmond/830394.md?page=1)
