Katherine Helmond, the seven-time Emmy-nominated Texas actress who played the feisty, man-crazy mother Mona Robinson on the long-running ABC sitcom Who’s the Boss?, has died. She was 89.
Helmond, who earlier starred as the wide-eyed socialite sister Jessica Tate on another popular ABC comedy, Susan Harris’ daytime-serial spoof Soap, died Feb. 23 of complications from Alzheimer’s disease at her home in Los Angeles, her talent agency, APA, announced.

Saw her on a flight to LA once she was petite but built.
Loved her on SOAP!
Yes, another part she played well..........RIP Ms. Helmond....
She looked a lot like my grandmother.
Always enjoyed her work. RIP.
She was a spitfire she would of loved the compliment
“You mean Mickey Mouse’s dog was gay?”
I have the all seasons of SOAP on DVD. Think I’ll dust it off and binge watch it this weekend. RIP to the redhead that made that show.
They all made it work.
Hard to pick a real favorite character.
Between Benson and maybe Burt Campbell.
Jessica Tate is not dead, she is being held prisoner by El Puerco in South America!
Buried toward the end is the fact that she and her husband had been married for 57 years:
“Survivors include her half-sister, Alice, and her husband of 57 years, David Christian. She met him at The Hampton Playhouse Summer Stock Theater, where he was the set designer and she the leading lady.”
“She was the love of my life,” Christian said. “We spent 57 beautiful, wonderful, loving years together, which I will treasure forever. I’ve been with Katherine since I was 19 years old. The night she died, I saw that the moon was exactly half-full, just as I am now … half of what I’ve been my entire adult life.”
I had a thing for her....
Thought she rode the lightning a long time ago though....
Now all four parents on Everybody Loves Raymond are dead. Amy’s parents are still hanging in there.
Yeah that is sad. It would be pretty difficult to do a revival of the show without those four actors.

She’s kinda hot, but a REAL NUT!!
I’m pretty sure she was on the last few seasons of”Coach” as well. She was good.
