She stayed with the show through its ninth and final season finale.<\/p>\n<p>She followed <em>Night Court<\/em> with <em>Hearts Afire<\/em>, CBS\u2019 Washington, D.C. comedy about a liberal political reporter (Post) attracted to a conservative senator\u2019s staffer (played by John Ritter).<\/p>\n<p>Post\u2019s early TV career includes some of the biggest series of the 1980s, including <em>Hart to Hart<\/em>, <em>Simon &amp; Simon<\/em>, <em>The Love Boat<\/em>, <em>Cheers<\/em>,<em> Fantasy Island<\/em> and <em>The A-Team<\/em>.

Ross; and daughters Kate Armstrong Ross and Daisy Schoenborn. In a statement, Post\u2019s family said \u201c\u2026 for us, our pride is in who she was in addition to acting; a person who made elaborate cakes for friends, sewed curtains for first apartments and showed us how to be kind, loving and forgiving in an often harsh world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Launch Gallery: TV Stars We Lost in 2021<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/ezTqnXwglF6sxDmt5W5o9g--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI-\/https:\/\/sb.scorecardresearch.com\/p?c1=7&amp;c2=6035310&amp;c3=10003&amp;cv=2.0&amp;cj=1\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/night-courts-markie-post-dead-115032196.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Markie Post, an actress known for her<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
