Why Do The Good Die So Young?

It is with great sadness that I must report that Dody Goodman has died. Dody was a regular on the Jack Parr TONIGHT SHOW back in the day. She was a broadway singer and dancer who staged a comeback in 1976 as Louise Lasser's mother on the TV soap opera parody MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN. After MH, MH, Dody Goodman's career gained momentum with regular appearances on TV's Diff'rent Strokes and as the unforgettable office secretary in GREASE opposite Eve Arden and a cast of thousands. She was the kind of over-the-top goofball comedienne who could steal a scene just be being in it. I love that her album is called "Dody Goodman Sings?" Ms. Goodman was only 93.
