Sad that people don't know who she is. She was so much a part of my growing up, along with Mary Tyler Moore and Marlo Thomas (That Girl). The portrayed young single women with CAREERS at a time when girls were expected to grow up and get married, not have a career of their own. They had a big part in shaping my thinking as I was growing up.
A young Betty White was on the Mary Tyler Moore show too.
It's also sad that we haven't really heard much from or about her in years. Plus, why don't they ever show "Rhoda" on any retro or independent channels?
Actress Valerie Harper, best known to TV viewers for her memorable '70s role of Rhoda Morgenstern on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and later "Rhoda," has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
Yes, very sad. I really only know her from the show "Valerie", I think that's what it was called, & even that is vague but what a terrible thing. And she looked very good in that clip of an interview I saw from January where she had just found out.
You should try to find a rerun of The Mary Tyler Moore Show when Valerie played Rhoda. I think the show changed a lot once she left...there was a huge void that Sue Ann (Betty White) and Georgette (Georgia Engel) really couldn't fill very well. I watch it every night on MeTV and loved the show but Rhoda really added something to the cast.
I don't think there was anyone that didn't love Valerie Harper. She was on of the best of the best. She made such an impact of television.
Very sad that people that don't even smoke, (not that smokers deserve it either), but Donna Summer, now Valerie get lung cancer, and they were not even smokers. Goes to show you, were are all suseptible to anything...
I believe it is all the chemicals, toxins, pollutants, in the air....
Ever see after it snows along busy streets, how the snow gets all black, just so everyone realizes this, we are breathing this in every time we walk outside.....especially with all the auto traffic and air traffic we have here in NY......we are breathing this in.
She is handling this with courage and dignity and some humor.
I am really hoping for the best for her, I hope her doctors are wrong.
