Marcia Rodd has died, leaving behind a body of work that spans decades (Picture: Getty) Acclaimed actress Marcia Rodd, who starred in films including black comedy Little Murders and TV shows like Trapper John, M.D, has died aged 87.
Rodd, who was also celebrated on Broadway, with an Tony Award nomination for 1973 musical Shelter, boasted a career that spanned over 60 years.
Other standout projects included starring in hit stage comedy Last of the Red Hot Lovers on Broadway from 1969-71 before her screen career took off.
Her family announced the news via an obituary published on Wednesday night in the Los Angeles Times, revealing she died on December 27. The Hollywood Reporter was first to report the news.
Born in Lyons, Kansas in July 1938, Rodd made her Broadway debut as a replacement in the classic musical Oh, What a Lovely War, and played Dorothy Gale in a televised production of The Wizard of Oz.
More to come.
