Rose Marie, the wisecracking Sally Rogers of The Dick Van Dyke Show and a show business lifer who began as a bobbed-hair child star in vaudeville and worked for nearly a century in theater, radio, TV and movies, died Thursday.
She was 94.
Marie had been resting in bed at her Los Angeles-area home when a caretaker found she had stopped breathing, said family spokesman Harlan Boll.

RIP.
Great entertainer from the good ol’ days.
A most enjoyable lady.
Yes extremely funny and God bless her.
I did not know that former pro football player Ed Marinaro was her son...
RIP, Rose...
RIP.
Always liked her.. she seemed down-to-earth.
Is Buddy Hackett still alive too?
I though she was in her 60’s when the show was on TV.
Nor did I.
As my dad would say,"that's a UBI".
Useless bit of information. :-)
I was surprised by that too but it’s a typo in Google. Marinaro’s mother was named Rose Marie Errico - not Rose Marie Mazzetta. The Rose Marie who just died (Mazzetta) was married to trumpeter Bobby Guy from 1946 until his death in 1964.[9] The couple had one daughter, Georgiana.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Marie
Now they’re all gone from one of my favorite films, International House (1933). Baby Rose Marie was the replacement act for singer Ruth Etting.
Just checked both bios. She had only a daughter...............
Thanks....
What fond memories of a simpler and more wholesome time.
If she was even HALF as quick witted as her scripts made her appear (and I think she was far more), then she was a superb intelligence. The entire crew of the show made it the classic that we remember it to be. From short Buddy to tall bald Mel and Sally’s able assists, those 6 years & 157 episodes are good watching even today.
R.I.P. Rose Marie. Of the on-air regular cast, it looks like on Dick Van Dyke, Jerry Matthews (TV son) and Carl Reiner (Alan Brady) still remain with us.
Buddy Hackett died years ago.
La da da da da, da da da da da da
Oh Rose, my Rose Marie
Oh Rose Marie, I love you
I´m always dreaming of you
Just saw her playing a Nanny on a one off episode of My Three Sons last week. I told my Wife she was still alive. Weird timing. RIP
