Marcia Wallace, a comedic actress who portrayed Carol Kester on The Bob Newhart Show, passed away last night due to breast cancer complicated. She was 70 years old.
The death was confirmed by Wallace's good friend Cathryn Michon, who said in an emotional statement:
“She passed at 9 PM last night due to complications from breast cancer of which she was a long and proud survivor and advocate for women and healing. Ironically it was during breast cancer awareness month during which she was always a funny ray of hope for so many. I’m devastated.”
