 Thea White, Courage The Cowardly Dog's Muriel Actress, Is Dead At 81 While it may often seem like the majority of animation voice actors are constantly working on building up a prolific list of credits, that's not the case for everyone. For instance, Thea White became quickly became beloved amongst cartoon viewers everywhere solely for her work on the cult-y fave Courage the Cowardly Dog, and only took on two other voice roles in her long career. Sadly, a little over a month before fans will be able to enjoy her return to the role of Muriel Bagge, White passed away at the age of 81. According to Brad Zitzner, Thea White died on Friday, July 30, due to infection complications from a surgery aiming to bring her back to full health after liver cancer. Even though things ended so sadly, it sounds as if White passed her fighting spirit along to her family, and served as a major inspiration to everyone during her 81 years. It's presumably the same warm and understanding spirit that she brought to Muriel on Courage the Cowardly Dog during its four-season run on Cartoon Network from 1999-2002. The spooky and surreal animated series gained a large following of fans both during its initial run and in the years since it ended, thanks to TV reruns, DVDs and an evolution in generation-spanning animated fare. In fact, Courage the Cowardly Dog's popularity is such that Thea White reprised the role of Muriel for the upcoming straight-to-video animated crossover feature Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog. It's the Scooby-Doo mash-up that fans have been wanting ever since Cartoon Network first grouped the two horror-centric mutts together during a shared marathon back in 2000, and Muriel's return was definitely part of the excitement. That wasn't even the first time Thea White was involved with the Scooby-Doo universe, as she also voiced the character Aunt Margaret in the 2011 straight-to-video feature Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur. Beyond that, her other voice role was for the Canadian preschooler series Pecola. |

I remember watching Courage with my ex but haven't watched it in years. Might check out the crossover.

Dennis’ prologue featured on the groups 1971 hit, “Who’s Gonna Take the Weight” is legendary and an example of his showmanship.

In the band’s early days, Dennis also served as the “budget hawk”, carrying the group’s earnings in a paper bag in the bell of his horn. |

deadline.com/2021/08/markie-post-dead-night-court-actress-was-70-1234811055/ Markie Post Dies: Actress Known For ‘Night Court’, ‘The Fall Guy’ & More Was 70 Markie Post, the actress known for turns in Night Court, The Fall Guy, Hearts Afire and more, died on Saturday, following a three year, ten month battle with cancer. She was 70. Post’s manager, Ellen Lubin Sanitsky, confirmed her passing to Deadline. Born on November 4, 1950 in Palo Alto, California, Post got her start in entertainment by working behind the scenes on game shows, including Split Second, earning an associate producer credit on Alex Trebek’s Double Dare, and appearing before the camera as a card dealer on NBC’s Card Sharks. Her first acting credits came in 1979, with appearances on episodes of CHiPs, Barnaby Jones, The Incredible Hulk, The Lazarus Syndrome, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and Hart to Hart. She’d later appear in series such as The Love Boat, Cheers, Fantasy Island and The A-Team, before landing the role of bail bondswoman Terri Michaels in ABC’s The Fall Guy. She appeared in 65 episodes of that action drama between 1982 and 1985. Post was also a series regular on NBC’s Night Court, portraying public defender Christine Sullivan for 159 episodes between 1985 and 1992. She also drew notice with her turn as Georgie Anne Lahti Hartman in Hearts Afire, the CBS sitcom, in which she starred opposite John Ritter. Later in her career, Post recurred on ABC’s Scrubs, as the mother of Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), in addition to Chicago P.D. and other series, portraying herself in a 2008 episode of 30 Rock. On the film side, Post was perhaps best known for playing the mother of Cameron Diaz’s Mary in Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s classic 1998 comedy, There’s Something About Mary. Post was determined to keep pursuing acting as “a side job”, even as she got sick. Between chemo treatments, she worked on projects such as Lifetime Christmas movie Four Christmases and a Wedding and ABC series The Kids Are Alright. “But 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,” her family said in a statement. Post is survived by her husband, writer Michael A. Ross; daughters, actress Kate Armstrong Ross and Daisy Schoenborn; son-in-law Bryce Schoenborn and her and Michael’s five-month-old granddaughter.
