Frances Bay (The Middle/Twin Peaks/Happy Gilmore) dies at 92

Sorry to report that Frances Bay who has most recently been recurring on The Middle as Aunt Ginny has died at age 92.

She's been in many things so I'm sure you've probably seen her in something.

I'll always remember her as Mrs. Tremond/Chalfont from Twin Peaks.

Always sad when someone goes, but hey, going out at age 92 when you're a cast member of a current hit show .... an actor's fondest wish!

Wait, The Middle is a hit show? Seriously? My wife and I watched a few episodes ,thought it was the absolute worst, and never payed attention again. I never realized it was popular. That's awesome that she still had work at that age. 92 is a long full life but still RIP Grandma Gilmore

92 is a fantastic run. Especially since she was also still active.

Based on the standards of the tv landscape now, it could be considered a moderate hit.

Damn. She always showed up in movies that I watched as a kid. And, yup, Seinfeld, David Lynch movies, etc. RIP old lady.

Other reports say that she was 95.
