RIP
TV veteran Valerie Harper, who starred as Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show as well as her own self-titled spinoff, has died at the age of 80, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In March 2013, Harper revealed that she had been diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare and typically incurable form of cancer; at the time, she said doctors had given her as little as three months to live.
As recently as April 2014, Harper said she was “absolutely cancer-free,” having responded well to treatment, but this May she said that while she was “feeling good,” she was “ready to go,” having defied the odds for so long.
In her career, Harper amassed four total Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Mary Tyler Moore‘s best friend Rhoda, including once as the star of her own spinoff (which also netted her a Golden Globe).
