Marcia Wallace passes away!

#1 Post by MagnumILWU »

Marcia Wallace, who played Barbara Terranova, in one of my favorite episodes, "Beauty Knows No Pain" , has passed at the age of 70! Just a great episode! Magnum in the Ironman, with Bab's as his trainer!

Just saw this on the news and came here first to see who else had noticed and immediately thought of "Beauty Knows No Pain." Besides me. Glad to see the community here makes note of these things. Interesting to see how MPI spread so many threads.

For me, one of the most endearing episodes. Also thought she was a quiet riot in the Newhart show, among other things she did.

Hope her transition was a peaceful one.

I remember her as a regular on game shows. She seemed to appear on Match Game a lot, my favorite game show which I watched after getting home from school.

As a younger Gen Xer, I knew her best as the voice of Bart Simpson's sarcastic and cynical teacher, Edna Krabappal, on the Simpson.

My first thought too - Beauty Knows No Pain. God bless her.
