Actress Caroline McWilliams died last week. She was 64 years old.
McWilliams, whose film and TV career spanned decades, died from complications of multiple myeloma, her family told the Los Angeles Times.
The actress is perhaps best known for playing Marcy opposite Robert Guillaume on the long-running sitcom Benson. She also appeared in recurring roles on Soap, Judging Amy and Beverly Hills, 90210. She began her career on Guiding Light (she played Janet Norris).
McWilliams is survived by her son, Sean Douglas, from her marriage to actor Michael Keaton. The couple divorced in 1990.

Message: I missed her GL role, but I liked her as Sally on Soap. She was being blackmailed by Inga Svenson as a result of some adult films she made when she was younger, and was being forced to break up Burt and Mary Campbell. She was hilarious! Susan Harris brought her over to Benson afterwards, and she was great there as well. I'm sorry to hear about her passing.
