With great sadness, we bid a heartfelt and reluctant farewell to Susan Saint James. Susan made a memorable guest appearance as Aggie O'Shea in the season eight M*A*S*H episode "War Co-Respondent." She was 80.
#GoodbyeFarewellandAmen
Susan Saint James, the Emmy-winning actress who starred opposite Rock Hudson in “McMillan & Wife” and Jane Curtin in the CBS sitcom “Kate & Allie,” died Monday at 80 years old after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Saint James’ family described her as someone “generous with her time and energy, which she valued more than money, and instinctively drawn to whoever needed lifting up. She taught her children to pause, be kind and look out for other people. She never met a stranger. Every person she met became the most important person in the room at that moment, from a fellow board member to the clerk at the shoe store, who usually walked away knowing her entire life story.” (via People)
Farewell to one of my favorite TV actors, from one of my top 10 favorite shows. Thank you for entertaining us for decades! (KATE & ALLIE streaming on Amazon)

Susan Saint James, ‘Kate & Allie’ and ‘McMillan & Wife’ and Star, Dies at 80
So sad! Susan Saint James has died as age 80. Just posted her 80th birthday celebration in August. The "MacMillan & Wife" and "Kate & Allie" star was a popular fixture of the 1970s and '80s.
R.I.P., pretty lady.
Wow!! Praise the Lord!!! Thank you to all 10,000 of you who signed up for my new app, ana kate, yesterday. It’s so clear that Christian women want - and need - a place to call home when it comes to tracking periods and pregnancy.
I created ana kate because, as a Christian woman, I was tired of constantly having to navigate unbiblical ideas, unscientific statements, and illicit images when I was just trying to track my cycle or get pregnancy insights. I wanted a place that would encourage and educate me in truth.
Whether you’re just tracking your period, trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum, ana kate is the Biblically rooted, scientifically grounded alternative to the apps that push abortion, sexual degeneracy and gender confusion.
At AK, we know what a woman is, honor marriage, and value every life.

Susan Saint James, ‘Kate & Allie’ star, dead at 80
@Variety I never saw McMillan & Wife, but Kate & Allie was excellent but didn’t get an entirely fair shot in the market. Susan was almost the “straight man” to Jane Curtin at times, but it wasn’t just comedy.
