Marcia Strassman, known for Welcome Back Kotter, has died at 66

And spells her friend's name wrong.

Huh, I've been watching Welcome Back, Kotter for the first time on MeTV lately. I never realized it was the same woman from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. She was super. Very beautiful too. RIP.

RIP. Did anyone see Cher's stupid tweet about this? They were friends but Cher tweeted a poorly worded tweet about her friend dying alone.

“Marsha Strassman”

Is she semi-illiterate?

[BITTER]

I didn't know she was sick. So sorry to hear about this.

Damn cancer. Cher sounds like a preteen with that stupid tweet.

[Lily Bleu]

A wonderful actress, loved her in Welcome Back Kotter. Such sad news. RIP

She was so beautiful. I wanted to look like her back in the day.

RIP. Always odd to hear what was going on behind the scenes. Meanwhile, it just occured to me that Horshack was only a year younger than the Mrs Kotter. They were some old looking high school kids.

She's like the 3rd alum from WBK to die in the past couple of years, all fairly young.

Robert Hegyes, who played Epstein, died in '12 of a heart attack..along with Ron Palillo (Horshack) the same year. Both were in their early 60s.

Much too soon for all of them. RIP.
