LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actress Florence Stanley, who launched her career on Broadway and was a regular on television shows including "Barney Miller," has died of complications of a stroke. She was 79.

Stanley died Oct. 3 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said her husband, Martin Newman.

She appeared on Broadway in "Fiddler on The Roof," "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" and was in the Manhattan Theater Club's "What's Wrong with This Picture?" before heading to Hollywood.

Her TV appearances include Judge Margaret Wilbur on "My Two Dads" and Bernice Fish on "Barney Miller," as well as numerous guest roles on shows including "Dharma & Greg" last year.

Stanley had film roles in this year's "Down With Love" and was the gravelly voice of Wilhelmina Packard in the 2001 animated film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire."

Born in Chicago, Stanley graduated from Northwestern University.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by two children and two grandchildren.

:( That's sad. I always liked her as Bernice Fish.

She was also in the movie "Trapped in Paradise" with Jon Lovitz. Nicholas Cage and Dana Carvey.

Is there a website with pictures of Florence- I'm a big fan of Cybill and Dharma and Greg so if I saw her face I'd probably remember her. I'm a bit supersticious- so I hope this isn't another beginning to actor's deaths.
RIP

Once again another obituary that I was not informed about by the newspaper, tv, celebritydeathbeeper etc... I pay for news coverage and I expect it. I hate when someone passes on but when they do, I wanna know about it & my source of information shouldn't have to come from a message board.

R.I.P. Florence:(
