Georgia Engel, who rose to fame as soft-spoken Georgette Franklin on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, died on April 12 in Princeton, New Jersey. She was 70.
Engel's friend and executor John Quilty says the cause was undetermined because the actress, who was a Christian Scientist, did not consult doctors, The New York Times reported Monday.
The actress has said her The Mary Tyler Moore Show role was meant to be a one-episode guest spot, but Engel went on to appear in almost 60 episodes of the top-rated comedy. She received two nominations for her work on Mtm

Georgia Engel, who earned two Emmy noms for playing Ted Baxter’s significant other Georgette Franklin on The Mary Tyler Moore and three consecutive for Everybody Loves Raymond, has died. She was 70. She died Friday in Princeton, NJ, her friend and executor John Quilty told The New York Times.
Engel joined The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1972 when it was a top 10 primetime series and would appear in nearly 60 episodes over its final five seasons. Her dim but well-meaning Georgette was the love interest of self-important anchorman Baxter (Ted Knight), who courted and eventually her during the November 1975 sweep — though he didn’t seem all that prepared for it. They went on to adopt a child and later had one of their own.
The role earned her back-to-back Emmy noms for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 1976 and ’77.
