She walks in on him munching the éclair that he found on top of the kitchen wastebasket, prompting a debate between George and Jerry on what is trash and what can still be eaten.

She was also known as Virginia Benson on "General Hospital" and Evelyn in a recurring role on "Crossing Jordan."

She'll also be remembered for playing Norma in a famous doomsday episode of "The Twilight Zone" called "The Midnight Sun."
