Actress Marion Ramsey, who was best known for her role in the Police Academy films, died Thursday, her manager Roger Paul confirmed to CBS News. No cause of death was given. She was 73. Ms. Ramsey s infamous voice was emblematic; soft-spoken, unique and gentle, equally fitting her golden generous spirit, and humorous disposition, Paul said in a statement. Her passion for performing and sharing her heart with the world was immense.
Born in Philadelphia, Ramsey first got started in showbiz on the illustrious stages of Broadway. She was cast in both the original and touring productions of Hello Dolly. After the 1974 show Miss Moffat, in which Ramsey starred alongside Bette Davis, Ramsey went on to star in several different productions, including Eubie! and Grind.
