Marie was a child star of the 1920s and 1930s who endeared herself to TV fans on the classic '60s sitcom that featured Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore.
She appeared in numerous movies as a child and starred in the Broadway musical Top Banana. She was nominated for three Emmys and received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in 2001.
Portions of the obituary printed on her website read:
When The Dick Van Dyke Show premiered in 1961, Rose Marie became a household name as the quick-witted comedy writer, Sally Rogers. After five seasons, she moved to The Doris Day Show. She was the only original member of the hit game show Hollywood Squares to have worked on all of its reincarnations and hosts. Her famous hair bow, which had a strong personal significance that she refused to elaborate on, was inducted into the Smithsonian along with other items from her extensive career in 2008. Late in life she discovered a love for social media, which allowed her to interact directly with fans. Rose Marie is survived by her daughter Georgiana Marie "Noopy" and her son-in-law Steven Rodrigues.
