She was a TV heavyweight, appearing on “The Flying Nun,” “That Girl,” “M*A*S*H,” “All in the Family,” “Love, American Style,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Maude,” “The Streets of San Francisco,” “The Rockford Files,” “Fantasy Island, “The Love Boat,” “Murder, She Wrote” and many more.
This leaves Ron Howard as the only surviving cast member of MRFD. :-\\

She was a familiar sight on mid-century American TV. And like Joann Pflug, another familiar TV sight in those days, nobody could forget the name "Arlene Golonka". Her resume reads like a what's what of mid-century American TV:
Car 54, Where Are You?, Get Smart, Barnaby Jones, The Flying Nun, I Spy, That Girl, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, M*A*S*H, All in the Family, Cannon, Maude, The Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry R.F.D., Alice, The Rockford Files, The Streets of San Francisco, One Day at a Time, The San Pedro Beach Bums, Taxi, Murder, She Wrote, The King of Queens, Valerie, Sunset Beat, and Matlock, among others.
She didn't do too bad in movies either. Her appearances include:
Harvey Middleman, Fireman (1965), Penelope (1966), The Busy Body (1967), Welcome to Hard Times (1967), Hang 'Em High (1968), The Elevator (1974), Airport '77 (1977), The In-Laws (1979), Love At First Bite (1980), The Last Married Couple in America (1980), My Tutor (1983), The End of Innocence (1990) and A Family Affair (2001).
