Georgia Engel recalls Lin-Manuel Miranda, Patricia Heaton and Betty White: "The light is nil"



[ad_1]

The stars of the stage and screen paid tribute to actress Georgia Engel, who died last week in Princeton, New Jersey, at the age of 70.

The nominee for the Emmy Awards was known for her roles in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Everybody Loves Raymond", as well as in the Broadway hit "The Drowsy Chaperone".

"A light is out, and what can we do if we are not grateful for what she has given us," tweeted "Hamilton" and the star of "Mary Poppins Returns," Lin-Manuel Miranda.

"Georgia was one of a kind and the absolute best," Betty White said Monday through a New York Times spokesperson.

"I'm in shock – Georgia was an absolute angel – so dear, so kind, so talented. God bless you Georgia! Patricia Heaton, co-star of "Everybody Loves Raymond". "One of my favorite episodes was when Robert caught Pat smoking – she was just great!"

Another co-star of Raymond, Phil Rosenthal, tweeted: "To our dear and kind friend, we will miss you and your brilliant talent forever."

Engel was also known to have appeared on "The Love Boat" and played Granny in "Hot in Cleveland" alongside White, whom she previously knew in "The Betty White Show".
