Doesn't she have wealthy friends in the industry willing to throw some decent money her way?
She deserves medical assistance as much as anyone, but it bothers me that someone who's actually still connected to wealthy people are drawing money from regular people to get help simply because they're a celebrity.... and regular people who need financial assistance for medical issues have to struggle.

Doesn't sound good for Valerie. Doctors have recommended that she go into hospice care and her husband is in denial and won't do it.

He should let a hospice nurse care for her at their house. They've had training and won't be so emotionally connected.

RIP... I never saw much of her work, but I might have to check out some of the stuff she did.

Sad to see that she finally succumbed to the cancer, but not surprising considering she was in hospice.

As sad as it is that she's gone, her battle with cancer really was inspirational.
Given 3 months to live she made it another 6 years. To age 80. That's amazing.

This does make me feel old. I remember when The Mary Tyler Moore Show was first on and Mary & Valerie were young. I will always think of them that way.

And that was after Mary was on another all time great, groundbreaking show a few years earlier (The Dick Van Dyke Show).
They are two of my all time favorites.
