AceShowbiz - "Night Court" star Paula Kelly has died, aged 77.
The actress, who also appeared alongside Shirley MacLaine in "Sweet Charity", died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Whittier, California on Saturday, February 08.
Kelly scored a Best Supporting Actress Emmy nod in 1984 for portraying Liz Williams on the first season of TV drama "Night Court".
The Juilliard School Of Music graduate also received another nomination in 1989 for playing a lesbian on mini-series "The Women of Brewster Place".
She made her Broadway debut in the 1964 musical "Something More!" and also shared the stage with Morgan Freeman in Broadway in "The Dozens".
But she'll perhaps be remembered best for playing Helene in "Sweet Charity" - a character she played onstage in London and reprised in the 1969 Bob Fosse film.
She also appeared in the films "The Andromeda Strain" and "Soylent Green".
