Maureen Arthur, the TV, film and stage actress best known for her role of dim-witted Hedy La Rue in the 1967 musical-comedy, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” died June 15 of natural causes. She was 88.
“I can’t overstate how important she was to me,” her friend actress Ilene Graff (“Heart of Dixie”) announced on Facebook Monday. “Her amazing talent and skill were only a small part of who she was. A tireless advocate for children in need, especially those with physical, emotional and/or intellectual challenges, she helped raise countless millions of dollars for them.”
The San Jose, California, native was a staple on television and in films in the late ’50s through the 1970s, appearing in such well-know series as “Perry Mason,” “The Monkees,” “The Flying Nun,” “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.,” “Sanford and Son,” “Laverne & Shirley,” “Mork & Mindy” and “Murder, She Wrote.”

Mark Shields, the longtime Washington Post political columnist who was a fixture of “PBS NewsHour” and a co-host of CNN’s “Capital Gang,” died on June 18. He was 85.
Shields’ death was confirmed in tweet from “PBS NewsHour” anchor Judy Woodruff. Woofruff praised her colleague “who for decades wowed us with his encyclopedic knowledge of American politics” as well as “his sense of humor and mainly his big heart,” she wrote.
Shields was known on-air for his tact and wit in delivering incisive analysis and commentary about U.S. politics and policy battles in Washington. He predated the shouting-heads era of cable news that came in the mid-1990s with the advent of Fox News Channel and MSNBC.
