Shirley Mitchell, who was believed to be the last surviving cast-member of the hit CBS sitcom “I Love Lucy,” died earlier this week, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She was 94.
Mitchell died of heart failure on Monday, her sister-in-law Nancy Olson told the website on Wednesday. The veteran actress played Lucy’s friend Marion Strong-- with the cackling laugh-- in the classic show during the 1953 to 1954 season.
The Ohio native later appeared in “Perry Mason,” “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “The Beverly Hillbillies.”
