Not too familiar with the name (or the face)?
Well ... if you laughed at all to Mama's Family (as seen on the Carol Burnett Show or later in syndication) or to The Facts of Life ... then you were laughing at things that Mary co-created.
Except, Hollywood being Hollywood, Mary worked under the name of Jenna McMahon, and was half of the comedy duo "Clair & McMahon" (seen at the link below, which is from before my time).
Mary/Jenna passed away just over a month ago (remember ... I get my news a few weeks late most times), but she who formed the likes of Eunice and Mrs. Garrett, now that I know who you are and what you did, rest assured that you will be missed.
