The woman who offered a lot of advice and a major in psychology, Dr. Joyce Brothers, died @ the age of 85.

In 1955, she was a contestant on The $64,000 Question whose category was Boxing that the producers suggest. Though later contestants were coached & given the answers to cause the Quiz Show Scandals, she was an honest contestant who didn't cheat whatsoever.

She made many tv apprearnces playing herself on sitcoms, dramas & even a soap (One Life to Live). Did the talk show circuit from Conan O'Brien to Space Ghost Coast to Coast. One movie I remember she did as herself was a 1980 movie, Hero @ Large (where John Ritter played a struggling actor who played Captain Avenger seriously).

She also did the game show circuit doing the color version of What's My Line, Hollywood Squares, Match Game, Showoffs, The Gong Show & Body Language.

She will be missed.
