Perennial “guest star” on probably hundreds of TV shows in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Good long life.

RIP Ms. Merrill.

Cliff Robertson’s ex-wife.

Please, somebody, anyone, everyone remember these fine actors. They contributed so much to America and they are fading away at an alarming rate.

My error. Thought he was her last marriage. She was his

You are right they divorced in 1989. She married Ted Hartley the same year

The daughter of Wall Street giant E.F. Hutton and cereal scion Marjorie Merriweather Post, Merrill grew up surrounded by wealth.

In addition to that, her first husband (1946) was heir to the Colgate-Palmolive fortune.

She was worth about $5B when she died. Seems like to lived a good life.

Thank you and yes RIP. I’d wonder with Cliff being quite the aviator if she flew with him. Kind of hard when he was into the WWII warbirds, I can’t remember if what he was flying was 1 or 2 seats ( He had a Spitfire for a while before he donated it to EAA ).
