Markie Post dead latest – Night Court star loses cancer fight at 70 just weeks after co-star Charlie Robinson’s death

THERE’S Something About Mary actress Markie Post, 70, has died after a lengthy battle with cancer, says her manager.

Her death comes just weeks after fellow Night Court star Charlie Robinson passed away on July 11 from a heart attack and organ failure brought on by septic shock.

Fans have been paying tribute to the hard-working star, who was also on Night Court, The Fall Guy, The Incredible Hulk, Hart to Hart and Netflix show Santa Clarita Diet.

Post appeared regularly on NBC’s Night Court, acting as public defender Christine Sullivan for 159 episodes between 1985 and 1992, reports Deadline.

The website says that her manager, Ellen Lubin Sanitsky, confirmed her passing after Post died on Saturday, after a nearly four-year battle against cancer.

Post’s family said in a statement: “For us, our pride is in who she was in addition to acting; a person who made elaborate cakes for friends, sewed curtains for first apartments and showed us how to be kind, loving and forgiving in an often harsh world.”
