That's sad. She had some really good bit dramatic parts. What did she die of?

She was VAXXED!

Wow, both of them were alive until now? It's a little unusual for both partners in a marriage to live into their 90s. And for a Hollywood marriage to last that long is uncommon, too.

That's all I've got. I remember them from game shows in the '70s.

Why did she go by her maiden name?

Wouldn't you rather be Mitzi McCall than Mitzi Brill, r8?

She didn't. Her birth name was Mitzi Steiner.

I think they were scheduled to be on the Ed Sullivan Show when the Beatles made their appearance. They may have been knocked off even, but in any event they were completely overshadowed.

I never thought the team was particularly funny, but I loved her as the dry cleaner who wore Mrs. Seinfeld's mink coat. When Jerry opens the door she says, "No it isn't." Kills me.

The name Mitzi is unfortunate.

Even for a beloved Lhasa Apso?

I remember when she played the dry cleaner's wife who stole Jerry's mother's fur coat on "Seinfeld."

R6 I lived to be just shy of 99 and Tom is still with us at 96.

She took her stage surname from McCall’s magazine, a once prominent periodical.

More than two weeks after her death, the Times finally takes notice.

There once were so many comedy acts. Are there any now?

She was 7 years older than Brill, who is 86, but for many years she looked at least 7 years younger.

RIP

Are Gaynor & Joel's neighbor's Lhasa Apso now the only living Mitzis?

I think Mitzi is a cute name that suited her perfectly.

Here's the Ellen episode. Mitch is styled to look like Judy.

I thought this was the Mitzi that Zinged (Zanged) into Spring. But no, that's Mitzi Gaynor, who remarkably is still with us.

RIP Mitzi McCall.
