Read MoreI was so sad to discover that Ms. Mercer had passed away. What a talent she was! Her wonderfully wry, and subtly quirky delivery always made me laugh. She was a delight to watch on the screen and was a truly unique and gifted performer! So sorry for your loss.

My late husband enjoyed watching It's a living and recently I started watching it when I saw you on the show. Of course I've seen you many times on TV and I wondered what became of you. I'm sorry to see that you're gone. May you be at peace.

As a teenager in the 1970s watching "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," I first saw Marian Mercer as the beleaguered character Wanda Rittenhouse Jeeter. What a multi-talented, brilliant, beautiful woman. Her humor was unsurpassed. After MH2 ended, if any program or movie included Marian Mercer, I always made a point of watching her. No matter what the role, she carried it off with grace, style and her fabulous wit.
How moving to see messages from friends and co-stars here remembering her. ...

My family moved to Akron in my junior year of high school. I had moved from Athens, AL. I felt lost at Garfield High School until Marian, Cheryl, Nancy took me under their wing and introduced me to pizza at Luigi's. Marian had the lead role in the senior class play, Annie Get Your Gun and her beautiful voice took the show. I'll never forget their friendship. This is very late but just now learned of her passing. God bless your family.
