Subject: Doctor Joyce Brothers dead at 85.
Written By: ninny on 05/13/13 at 5:31 pm
Dr. Joyce Brothers -- once considered the most famous psychologist on the planet -- has died in NYC at the age of 85.
Brothers became famous after winning "The $64,000 Question" game show in 1955 -- the show that triggered the game show scandal in the '50s.
Brothers won by answering a series of questions on the subject of boxing -- and although there was a lot of talk that producers slipped her the answers, it was never proven and Brothers emerged unscathed.
The good doc went on to do countless television and radio appearances. She was always the go-to person for reporters when a criminal did something that defied logic.
She also did cameo appearances in movies -- including "Naked Gun" and "C.H.i.P.s" ... and also appeared on TV shows like "The Love Boat."
Brothers was married to internist Milton Brothers since 1949 ... he died in 1989 ... and the couple had a daughter, Lisa.
She had her own relationships advice TV show in New York by 1958 ... and her books have been translated into 26 different languages.
R.i.P. Dr. Brothers :\'(

Whenever I think of Dr. Brothers-two things come to mind.
1. The movie "The Lonely Guy" with Steve Martin. Funny movie and she was great in that.
2. Gilda Radner doing Rosanne Rosannadanna on SNL:
"Hey! Dr. Joyce Brothers! Wipe that sweatball off your nose!"
*"God bless our fathers good health to our mothers and please don't let me sweat like Dr. Joyce Brothers."
*Sung to "We Gather Together"
R.I.P. Joyce!

Didn't she used to do some kind of health advice segment on TV news?

I know she wrote a column for Good Housekeeping and has been on countless number of TV shows. I believe she may of had her own show a long time ago.

I remember her from that WKRP episode where she played Vicky Von Vicky. That was one of my favourite episodes ever.
R.I.P. Joyce. You were part of the WKRP Universe, and that is A-Ok in my books
