NEW YORK — Markie Post, who played the public defender in the 1980s sitcom “Night Court” and was a regular presence on television for four decades, has died. She was 70. Post was a longtime television regular who appeared in shows from “Cheers” to “Scrubs.” But she was best known for her seven-season run on NBC’s “Night Court,” the Manhattan municipal court sitcom that ran from 1984 to 1992 and starred Harry Anderson as Judge Harry T. Stone.

Post had two daughters with her second husband, TV producer and writer Michael A. Ross. In a statement, the family said “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.”

Sad news, joshbelville. My 80s sitcom crush has died. No, not Alyssa Milano. No, not Elizabeth Berkley. No, not Justine Bateman. No, not Christina Applegate. No, not Lydia Cornell. No, not Jennilee Harrison. No, not Marilu Henner. I really should have opened this differently...

just heard 'Build Me Up Buttercup' in a commercial right before finding out, she was so good in 'There's Something About Mary'

RIP Markie

A real beauty, this one.
