such projects as Double Dare (1976) and was a guest on television projects like
1st to Die (2003), E! True Hollywood Story (1996), Electra Woman (2001), and
Dyna Girl (2001). Perhaps her greatest TV part was "Christine

episodes. Marylee (Armstrong) Post is her daughter. She was a poet and noted
nuclear physicist Richard Freeman Post (November 14, 1918 to April 7, 2015).
Two daughters, Katie Ross (born June 26, 1987) and Daisy Ross (born on March 30
90) was her second wedding to Michael A. Ross. She was born in Palo Alto in
California and raised in Walnut Creek. As a cheerleader, she attended Las Lomas

Wildest West Show of the Stars (1986). She was cremated and her ashes were
returned to Michael A. Ross. She was a lifetime Democrat. Markie Post passed

birthday, which was on November 4. She passed away 27 days following Charles
Robinson, her Night Court (1984), co-star, passed away on July 11, 2021. While
the two shows were completely different, Night Court (1984) was cancelled in
1992 when her character Christine Sullivan, leaving for Washington DC, and
Hearts Afire (1992) started later that year , with Post being a character who
was not her own Georgie, who had a chance to work in Washington DC (and later
moving to a small town).
