I didn't know her personally by I am very sad to hear that Doris Roberts has passed away at the age of 90.
For nine years she loved, nagged and was often the mother-in-law from hell on the hit TV show Everybody Loves Raymond. I love her in the Hallmark Movies as Mrs.Miracle in more recent times.
Her career in show biz was a long one and she won several awards over that time. Hollywood will be a little less funny and definitely sadder with her passing. RIP Doris Roberts, you gave us a lot of entertainment and I don't think any of us can imagine anyone else making Marie Barone come to life.

She is quite a great character actress with a great flare for comedy and she will be greatly missed.

@BelleStarr I love comedies. Just to sit back and be entertained is my favourite way of relaxing. :)

@BelleStarr I do not mean now.
i meant in the past when she just started.
There bound to have many naysayers who criticized the way the young actress put up the hair or put on a dress or a tactless remarks.

She was well loved so I don't think had much pressure in that way.

@scheng1 I guess that is something we will never know but it certainly didn't discourage her.

She was a very funny actress. I liked her in Christmas Vacation and in the tv shows Remington Steele and Angie. You're right, she had a very long career.

That I didn't know but she was so multi-talented it is not surprising.

@BelleStarr Even then, she was playing a matronly middle-aged lady. I never thought of Marie Barone as being anywhere near 90. Her kids are not much older than my kids, and I'm not 60 yet.

She was indeed, we have lost a lot of great people already in 2016.
