Georgia Engel, whose distinctive voice and pinpoint comic timing made her a memorable part of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” on which she played Georgette Franklin, girlfriend and eventually wife of the buffoonish TV newsman Ted Baxter, died on Friday in Princeton, N.J. She was 70.
John Quilty, her friend and executor, said the cause was undetermined because Ms. Engel, who was a Christian Scientist, did not consult doctors.
Ms. Engel was twice nominated for an Emmy Award for her work on “Mary Tyler Moore,” which she joined in 1972, during the show’s third season.

She was a hoot on MTM and Everybody Loves Raymond. RIP

What’s a Christian Scientist? Apparently they read a lot.
I think that's what the Bizzaro Jerrys were.
Definitely not Latvian Orthodox.

They don’t believe in medical healing.
My mother told me that we had a relative that laid on a couch for months with a broken hip before it finally killed her.
