I think you're referring to Julie Kavner who actually does the voice of Marge Simpson. She also played Rhonda's sister, Brenda in 'Rhonda'.
Indeed Valerie does have a guest spot in one of the 'The Simpsons' episodes this year.
I've watch some of the things she's been in, including Rhoda, and have always found her to be a talented and charismatic actress.
A lot of people from the vintage comedy era are no longer here, or are now very old.
So sad to hear of her declining health....hope the coming months are as gentle as they can be for her...lovely lady !
Nancy Walker played Rhonda's mother in first appearing in 'TMTMS', then its spinoff 'Rhonda'.

I remember reading somewhere that the guy who did that voice was also the original voice of Garfield
Very sad news about Valerie though.
Hoping her final months are not too uncomfortable.
She's not that old is she?
Really, really upset for her :(
Very sad news.
Valerie was my first hearthrob, she will always be a wonderful actress and such a sexy women who never had to try to be sexy, she just was. I wish her all the love in the world, also to her family and her fans.
I loved the Rhoda series far more than The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
She is in her seventies. She was born in 1939. I have just read her article about how she found out she had cancer and how she is dealing with the terminal diagnosis. Such a brave lady. So sad. I hope that when her times comes it is without suffering.

She absolutely nails it. A terrific actress and from what I've seen, a lovely lady.
Fabulous actress - I've seen her in loads of TV movies and of course - Rhoda was one of the best comedies of the 70's and if shown again - it can still stand the test of time.
