Born in New Jersey, she had two children, ages not listed. Too soon for them to lose their mother

So sad. I guess they haven't released the cause of death. I don't think she was ill. Wasn't she on Modern Family too?

Yes, she was on a couple of episodes as Gloria' s mother. I remember her in a show called I Married Dora in the late 1980s. I remember thinking she was so.pretty and I wanted to.look like her. That's sad.

I absolutely loved her in I Married Dora. I was so sad when they (prematurely) cancelled it. Good show.

She also played the wife of the Dr. on a Lifetime Movie, They were both Dentist and her husband starts dating one of the assistants and it was a true story, she runs over him and kills him. She was very good.

She broke my heart in "Lone Star." Elizabeth's scenes with Chris Cooper were real and true. Matthew McConaughey and Kris Kristofferson, too. A great movie, a great legacy for Elizabeth.

That was such a shock this morning as I went through the "new news". She was on a soap opera once when I first use to watch her. Then she was in La Bamba. I hadn't seen her lately, I turn in early, so no surprise there. I thought she was really good as an actress. I sorry to hear (read) this, condolences to her loved ones.

Sad. I've only known her from Modern Family. She was very funny.

Loved her in La Bamba and the short lived I Married Dora series.
