Golden Globe-winning actress Katherine Helmond dies at the age of 89
Known best for playing Mona Robinson, Judith Light's mother on 'Who's the Boss?' which also starred Tony Danza, the actress won a best supporting Golden Globe for her work in 1989
Seven-time Emmy-nominated and two-time Golden Globe-winning actress Katherine Helmond, who played two very different matriarchs on the ABC sitcoms 'Who's the Boss?' and 'Soap,' died at the age of 89, her talent agency announced Friday.
Helmond died of complications from Alzheimer's disease last Saturday at her home in Los Angeles, talent agency APA said in a statement. "She was the love of my life. We spent 57 beautiful, wonderful, loving years together, which I will treasure forever," her husband, David Christian, said in a statement. "I've been with Katherine since I was 19 years old. The night she died, I saw that the moon was exactly half-full, just as I am now... half of what I've been my entire adult life."
