This is getting too close for comfort…she’s only two years older than I am.
I liked her a lot on Kate & Allie with SNL star Jane Curtain. The long, straight 60s-girl hair and the slightly hoarse (cf. Lauren Bacall) voice.
She and Rock Hudson were a bit of a mismatch on McMillan & Wife. But I guess that was part of the appeal.
One of my earliest celebrity crushes. We used to watch McMillan & Wife all the time, and the sight of her getting into bed wearing a Gene Washington jersey that was loosely draped just so perfectly made me…uh…interested. Such a cutie. RIP.
I always liked her, and had a bit of a crush on her.
She was very funny - and played against type for herself - as a ditzy fashion model in Love at First Bite, the 1979 comedy version of Dracula, in which we were to accept that a vampire (who could be destroyed by sunlight) would have an amazing tan (because it was George Hamilton). 
Her in that jersey is how I always picture her when I hear or read her name.
Yes, her long dark hair and sexy voice were definitely of interest to teenage me! 
RIP, Susan.
She was also in half of the episodes of “The Name of the Game”, a series with Gene Barry, Anthony Franciosa, and Robert Stack alternating as the lead actor from week to week.
One of my favorite lines from that movie: “With you, never a quickie. Always a longie.”
I watched McMillan & Wife occasionally.
Susan was always very good in the role.
I never saw Kate and Allie.There was probably a schedule conflict with a show that I already watched regularly.
RIP
She is one of *two celebrities that ever showed up in one of my dreams as a teen, the other being Carly Simon. Nothing really exciting happened in the dream, though. I was driving home, and I she was walking down the road where my family lived.
*Although I did have a dream where I was talking to someone and I mentioned Carl Laemmle. I had recently seen the doc on his life on TCM.
