Popular psychologist Joyce Brothers dead at 85
« on: May 14, 2013, 01:38:14 am »
I must admit never to having been much impressed by her, but, in any case, RIP.

Joyce Brothers, the pop psychologist who pioneered the television advice show in the 1950s and enjoyed a long and prolific career as a syndicated columnist, author, and television and film personality, has died. She was 85.

Brothers died Monday of respiratory failure in New York City, according to her longtime Los Angeles-based publicist, Sanford Brokaw.

Brothers first gained fame on a game show and went on to publish 15 books and make cameo appearances on popular shows including "Happy Days" and "The Simpsons." She visited Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show" nearly 100 times.

I always liked her. She had a mix of knowledge, common sense and humor that is rare.

Rest in Peace.
