Marsha Kramer was American actress who is known for her work in some of the great movies like The Great Gatsby (2013), Jumper (2008), What about Bob?, Double Jeopardy and Red Riding Hood (2011). She also performed on the show Broadway as Wendy in the 1975’s Peter Pan with Sandy Duncan in the title role.

She was born on 19 June, 1945 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. She grew up in Los Angeles and she graduated from UCLA. She also joined the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.

Yesterday Jeff Greenberg shared the news about her death on his Twitter account by stating that, ‘It is so sad to hear that my friend passed away at 74, she was very delightful while the shoot of episode 14 of the series ‘Modern Family’. She was playing the character of Margaret for the last 7 years.’

Kramer started her career with a television show named as ‘The Bill Cosby Show’ which was aired in the year 1970. She got popular after working in the show and was offered with many projects after that. She worked in the popular classic shows including The Waltons, Cheers, Newharts, Touched by an Angel, Malcolm in the Middle and most recently working in the show ‘Modern Family’.

She was playing the character of Jay’s assistant Margaret. Two of her recent appearances aired earlier this year, one of which dealt with the loss of Phil’s father and one of which saw Kramer’s Margaret come out of retirement briefly to work alongside Ariel Winter’s Alex Dunphy.

As we know she worked in front of camera, also she had worked behind camera as a dub artist in some of the movies.

At the moment, it is unclear about what is  the cause of death. Details, as a whole, are still very complicated, but regardless, the world lost a wonderful actress and judging by the amount of well-wishers, a wonderful person. She will be missed.
