was a brunette beauty whose throaty voice became her trademark on Broadway, in films, and on television; she was especially remembered for her role as sardonic Emily Hartley, the schoolteacher wife and foil to her husband, Bob, on the TV sitcom The Bob Newhart Show (1972–78), for which she was nominated for two Emmy Awards. After starring in Rome Adventure (1962) and 40 Pounds of Trouble (1963), Pleshette portrayed a teacher pecked to death by feathered killers in the Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds (1963). On Broadway she performed in Compulsion (1957) and The Cold Wind and the Warm (1958) before replacing (1961) Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker. Other TV roles earned her two more Emmy nominations, one of them for her title role characterization in the TV film Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean (1990). Pleshette's other film roles include Nevada Smith (1966), The Ugly Dachshund (1966), and Blackbeard's Ghost (1968). Her last role (2002–04) was on TV's Will and Grace.
