No.. Markie.. R.I.P..
She was WONDERFUL
Great Actress, Rest in Peace. Condolences to her family and friends
Good ensemble actors are seldom recognized for the quality of their work, instead the kudos go to the 'stars'.
💔
😭
pk_salsa sorry champ, i know she was your hero
kenki4 So sad to hear. She was a hottie back in the day.
She was amazing on SCRUBS: only a few episodes, yet such strong acting.
Darn. Haven’t thought of her in years. Sorry to hear this.
May you rest in peace Markie, much love. In tribute, I will watch Something About Mary in your honour.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
She was a really lovely person.
Used to be my sisters friend. Upbeat and precocious as a child.
She was the best. Sad.
Too young to go 😧 ~ R.I.P. Markie Post 🙏🏼
😭🙏☮️❤️
My condolences. I loved Night Court growing up. RIP
Rest In Peace Markie Post 🙏🙏🙏
And then there was just Dan… Dan fielding.

Sad news.
RIP!!
RIP Markie.
Very sad news. She was a great addition to the cast of Night Court.
☹️🙏 🌹 A great actress
peteetchou Awwwww😭
One of my first crushes, fuckin Cancer.
So sad to hear of this. Way too young. I've heard she was beautiful on the inside that matched her outer beauty and based on the comments, I was absolutely correct. I prayed she was in heaven and knew the Lord.
night court was the successor to barney miller. ensemble sitcom at its finest where every character could has been its own show.
Special thoughts & Prayers go out the family & friends of Marnie Post! An incredible lady who fought a courage battle! RIP! 🙏🙏🙏
TimDuy The Markies keep dropping in 2021. First Biz Markie, now Markie Post.
So sad. I knew her father when I was interning at LLNL. His door was always open. Beautiful family. RIP to both.
Sad news, truly. 😪
Fly freely sweet soul!
If I were going for $100,000 on Pyramid, I would want Markie Post as my partner. She was so smart and intuitive.
TimDuy RIP
I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was to me a wonderful human being. I had a chance to meet her and really, she was down to earth, funny and just nice. I was shocked to hear of her death.
Just read a HuffPost article after seeing it first here this morning… the article I just read gave more distressing news than losing a good talent who had a real rough go in her last years, not to at all take away from that sadness… NBC is working on a sequel to NightCourt!
Oh no loved her on Night Court!
I will remember her for night court but mostly for the 'we've got a bleeder' scene in There Is Something About Mary...
She was amazing
I still have a hard time believing she was 70.
Utopia_Soup RIP
So sad that there are now 3 main actors from Night Court who have passed. But Markie Post? She did not seem that old!
she was adorable, and hilarious, I had such a crush on her as a little kid, RIP

angmccullum Oh wow. Rest in Peace.
ReticentQT 😔❤️
sigh, death takes even minor celebrities..she was the required eye candy in the night court tv show. I hadn't thought of her since the show ended, even though working on shifts I never saw the show consistently.
I adored the shows you were on, thank you... rest in peace.
She was one of the sharpest, brightest stars to walk the Earth. One of the best celebrities to play The $100,000 Pyramid and Password in the 80’s. RIP Markie.
Aww rest in peace. Condolences to loved ones
RIP Night court was a funny show
Markie Post RIP 'Something about Mary' actor comic
She was great. What a blessing
“…a three year, ten month battle with cancer.” FuckCancer
RIP🍾
I remember watching her get discovered on Star Search. What memories.
R.I.P. Beautiful lady
I grew up watching her she's going to be incredibly missed. Sending love to her family.
May she Rest In Peace 🙏
I am devastated! When I was little, I wanted Markie Post to be my mom and John Laraquette to be my dad. I loved Night Court so much. I loved seeing her play moms on Scrubs and Chicago PD. I hope she's in peace and my condolences to her family.
Wow, I've been watching Chicago PD, and that's the last I've seen of Markie. RIP, Markie.
so sad
Wirelady3 🥲
Denis_Buchholz RIP she was lovely
RIP
We lost another Night Court
RIP GIRL, I grew up with you on my tv
So sad. She was awesome in Night Court & The Fall Guy (among other shows). This year has been terrible for Night Court fans. RIP Markie Post
RIP 🙏🏾
Heartbreaking news.
💔
Damn
Does anyone know where I can watch Night Court reruns? I really miss that show.
RIP
Lovely: “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. ❤️
Rest Well, Talented Lady!
Ugh I dread letting my father know this.
Damn🤦🏻♂️😢RIP Markie🙏🏻
Please tell us this is just one of Harry's magic tricks 😢
This breaks my heart. Always beautiful smile. Happiness.
While we collectively mourn the passing of Markie Post, I would like to share this forgotten gem of the actress, pre-fame, on BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY circa 1979. She is seen here with Twerky--pardon, TWIKI the Annoying Ambuquad. Make of this what you will.
So sad! She was a beautiful woman.
Prayers going out to her family.
She was too young. Rest in peace.
🙏🏾😢
Sending condolences to Markie Post's friends & family
🙁🙏🏻
One reason why NIGHT COURT is a legendary sitcom is because Christine Sullivan was a hot mess. But, dammit, she was OUR hot mess. And no one could have played the role better than Markie Post. Alas, she departs too soon--but our memories of her are ours to hold forever.
I'm at that age now when I will scream out 'She was only 70!!!' But, man, she was only 70.
😔😔👍🏽💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽
Damn....R.I.P. Markie we'll all miss you..
Noooo, RIP 🙏🏼
Wirelady3
Oh no not Markie! Too many from Night Court dying too soon. RIP
Damn. Was just watching her on Scrubs the other day.
RIP Markie.
Markie Post was a beautiful and charismatic actress. She deserves better than repetitive, harsh and ignorant headlines. NightCourt RIPMarkiePost
First remember her from “The Fall Guy”. Great chemistry w/Harry Anderson and she held her own in scenes w/John Larroquette. “Night Court” was one of the most hilarious sit-coms! Still remember the episode when all those pregnant women gave birth in the courtroom! RIPMarkiePost
RIP Markie. She was a gem.
Wow, she seemed eternally young so I must be old.
God speed. 💚
no way!😭
I was hoping she was going to be on the reboot. RIP Markie...
RIP Markie Post.

A beautiful soul-RIP Markie💔🖤😢
My condolences to her family. I love Night Court, though I was a young teenager and didn't quite understand all the humor, I loved watching her character.

RIP Markie🙏🏼

Condolences to her love ones. Such a sad day… Selma, Harry, Charlie & now Markie all gone. I think 3 from the enemy of all: Cancer. That show was brilliant funny and had the perfect cast. It was one of my young adulthood right out of college shows. So many fond memories. ♥️🙏🏽
