Nancy Walker

During this time, Walker began directing, including episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda and Alice. One of Walker's last major film roles was in the 1976 all-star comedy spoof Murder by Death. She continued to remain active in show business until her death, playing Rosie, a New Jersey diner waitress in a series of commercials for Bounty paper towels from 1970 to 1990. She helped make the product's slogan, "The Quicker Picker Upper," a common catchphrase. Walker credited the towel commercials with landing her the role of Ida Morgenstern. Among her final guest appearances in a television series was the recurring role of "Aunt Angela", Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty)'s widowed sister, on The Golden Girls, for which she received an Emmy Award nomination.
