Actress Valerie Harper, who won four Emmy awards playing budding feminist Rhoda Morgenstern on the classic 1970s TV series “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and her own spin off sitcom, died on Friday at the age of 80.
She made a surprising come back after the 2013 diagnosis,which had given her only months to live. Just seven months later she competed on the “Dancing With the Stars” program and in 2015 made an appearance on the sitcom “2 Broke Girls.” Rhoda was a Bronx-born career girl who was constantly trying to lose weight, find a boyfriend and dodge her meddling Jewish mother. She had a brassy Bohemian streak, as exemplified by her trademark headscarves, and a grasp of emerging feminist concepts but her self-deprecating wise cracks showed her vulnerabilities.
Harper won three straight Emmys for best supporting actress in a comedy on Moore’s show – 1971 through 1973 – and in 1974 Time magazine featured the two of them in a cover story titled “TV’s Funny Girls.” Harper had a third try at sitcom stardom in 1986 with the family show “Valerie.” By the show’s second season, Harper and Cacciotti, her husband and business partner, asked NBC for a bigger share of the show’s revenues and threatened to walk off.
Harper began her entertainment career in the late 1950s as a chorus girl on Broadway. To gain acting experience, she joined Chicago’s Second City Theatre, which would become one of the country’s top comedy proving grounds.
