The actress appeared in numerous beloved classic TV shows including "The New Dick Van Dyke Show," "Laverne & Shirley," "Mork & Mindy," and "Matlock" among others.
Although her signature role arrived in the early ’60s with her scene-stealing performance on Broadway in "How To Succeed…," she quickly became a familiar presence on television. "Bachelor Father," "Perry Mason" and "I Spy" were a few of her early credits before Arthur moved more consistently to comedy: By the mid-1960s, she was guesting on "Get Smart," "Please Don’t Eat the Daisies," "The Monkees," "The Flying Nun," "Gomer Pyle: USMC," "Love, American Style," "Sanford and Son" and one of the lighter segments of the horror anthology "Night Gallery."
"The New Dick Van Dyke Show," "Laverne & Shirley," "Mork & Mindy," "CPO Sharkey," "Too Close For Comfort," "Highway to Heaven" and "Matlock" were among her later TV credits. She was a regular on the 1984 family business drama "Empire."
