Dody Goodman, the delightfully daffy comedian known for her television appearances on Jack Paar's late-night talk show and as the mother on the soap-opera parody "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," has died at 93. She's probably best known for her role as Blanche in Grease.
Goodman died Sunday at Englewood N.J. Hospital and Medical Center. The actress had been ill for some time.

ReplyDeleteI, too, loved her as Blanche. She was a true comedienne. Not many are left.
