- 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.
- Small, frail, white-haired character actress on the Broadway stage from 1916 who retired early to raise nine children. Returning to acting a couple of decades later and eventually came into her own in the 60s and 70s as playful elderlies on stage, screen and TV.
- Judith and Rudd had nine children - six sons and three daughters.
- She had English, as well as some Scots-Irish (Northern Irish), Welsh, and Dutch, ancestry.
