Did you know

  • Trivia
    Capped her rather erratic career in 1975 playing "Mother Dexter" on the sitcom Phyllis (1975) starring Cloris Leachman. The endearing Judith began in a recurring part but was so well liked that she was made permanent by the end of the first season. On December of 1976, her 86-year-old character "married" her 92-year-old boyfriend Arthur on the show (played by Burt Mustin). Ironically, both she and Mustin died shortly after filming the episode - within two months of each other.
